It’s been a hectic and tough four weeks. The time up to and after my Dads passing have been a blur<\/p>\n
Oddly, there’s one thing that happened in that time that\u00a0 got crowded out of my writing here. That was that Diane\u00a0 and I did something called\u00a0 the Colorado Cleanse <\/a>with several of our friends. The cleanse was intended to reboot your digestive track in some way. It involved a about a week of heating simple foods wiht no wheat, dairy, sugar or oil\u00a0 alcohol or caffeine. as, then a solid week of eating only something called ‘kitchadee’ (basmati rice and mung dahl) for every mela of the day, then another 4 days of simplefood, still with no dairy, wheat, sugar or oi.. I sy no oil.. other than a quarter cup of Ghee (rendered butter) every morning. All along we took a ton of herbs to help digestion<\/p>\n At first i went along just for fun.. with all the stuff in my life that I couldn’t control. it was nice to control something.. then I really go in to it. I found that I enjoyed being hungry..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The kitchadee for three meals a day was a trail.. by the end of that I was craving anything else..\u00a0 I doused it with hot sauce to make it edible.\u00a0 but we stuck with it …<\/p>\n The funny thing is.. it really worked. I had no expectations on this.. but it really did make me feel great.. the constant low level indigestion i often have disappeared\u00a0 completely..\u00a0\u00a0 i slept better and felt more energized.. (and still do)<\/p>\n The funny thing is.. when I was driving home last night eating junk food and drinking soda and not sleeping.. it all came back.. which reminded me\u00a0 what ‘normal’ felt like..<\/p>\n I’m gonna try to keep some of those eating patterns goign for awhile to see how it goes…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n that said.. I hope I never see another mung bean in my life<\/p>\n <\/p>\n nite all, nite sam<\/p>\n -me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s been a hectic and tough four weeks.
