Being active during the fasting state is mean!!!!

Yo!

So breaking my 17 hour fast with my fav higher fat day food combo of ham, eggs and goats cheese!

I was pretty active during the last part of the fast today....I cleaned the flat and scrubbed the shower. And then went to the gym to do my cardio on the bike...45min on random going between level 2-3 followed by some very relaxation yoga stretches...my breath was very deep and free flowing and it was really  calming. And even thou I was inside i felt a blissed out as this lucky lady and it imagined i was near the beach and that i sun was warming my skin and i could feel the sea breeze caressing my skin....heaven!

And in line with this i really love teaching the restorative/gentle yoga classes more than the faster based gym style classes - these are still fun but the gentle yoga classes make me feel like I'm flying. I feel so centred and calm....like this is what i was born to do....sounds cheesy but that's what it feels like. I love coming up with scripts to entice my students to go deeper into their practice...to let go and relax more...

(im going to dedicate a post to this)

Meal 2: ham, eggs and goats cheese!

Dinner: 400grams turkey stir fried in coconut oil with garlic and corriander carrots and wakame flakes.

Can you guess what it is???? and no its not a 'super food' (well it is in my eyes)

its LIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yip that's right LIVER!

now i hated liver with a passion as a child and there were many a tear shed and nights of being sent to bed hungry after refusing to eat my liver and bacon...oh if only i could travel back in time and stuff myself!!! i wonder how much healthier i would have been.... ;p

below is a link to "the liver files" on the western price site

http://www.westonaprice.org/food-features/509-liver-files.html

its well worth a read and has some really nice recipes....Marks daily apple also has some tasty liver recipes. And if the idea of liver freaks you out and makes you gag then try having it minced up in a hash like this:

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.

The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.

For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.

and if you live by the 80 20 rule or 90 10 rule try to keep in mind that lack of and or poor quality sleep counts towards your 20%...it took me a while to work this out
