Hi,
Try replacing creamy soups with chinese herbal soups. They are better for the body and they are also healthier and less fattening. They fill you up too. Try googling for chinese herbal soups and u can replace the cream and the cheese with all that. Pork ribs, carrot and corn brewed for 1-1.30 hr can be very satisfying. There isnt a need to put salt even. The sweetness comes from the carrot and the corn. Can just have that for dinner and sleep early to prevent feeling hungry.
hope this helps.

It sounds like you are in a really good place. The new diet doesn’t sound extreme or anything, which is good. I hope it serves its purpose for you. It sounds very “clean”!

I carry huge amounts of tension in my shoulders, too! Never tried a shiatsu massage. I’ll look into it!

Your dinner sounded lovely and tai chi is amazing. Inner peace is so important. That stillness inside lets us know what is going on with our bodies. You are awesome!

This sounds like a fantastic idea! I’m interested to see how you’re feeling in a week or so. It’s great that you’re taking such good care of yourself proactively.

Hi,
Congratulations on trying shiatsu and the six week healthy diet! My first month on a macrobiotics diet, I lost 25 pounds and no one noticed! But I felt amazing. Shiatsu saved my life! My immune system was crashing and shiatsu was the best! So I now teach shiatsu and whole foods nutrition. Stick with it until you have the energy and health to enjoy all! It’s difficult to be “different” when your friends are out having a good time. But the rewards are great later!

That cleanse sounds interesting. I need to read up on that!

And good luck with Thanksgiving. I need to come up with a plan for facing all that food myself.

Fantastic! Sounds really really healthy! Seaweed is indeed cleansing, and is eaten everyday in Japan. They even make these cookies with seaweed and give them to children as tasty treats! Yippeeee! (I am of Japanese origin so I’ve seen this!) Anyway…sounds great! Also, massage is always always good for detox.

You make my heart happy!

Don’t let the blog stress you out, friend. This is exactly the sort of stuff I love to read. You try new things - things I’m not brave enough to try. You live all balls-to-the-wall, and that’s why I love you!

I love your attitude toward Thanksgiving. I will try to channel that for myself.

I’m really interested in this yeast issue. I guess I need to read more…

We love you! Do you want big pants???

tina, yes! qigong! Thank you I could not remember that. I agree the focus and patient movements are very challenging and mind clearing at the same time.

FB- yes, girl. that is totally me! I always think that. We bond over OCD
