I love Wednesdays.
All day at work I listened to Doug Graham lectures while I stickered things. I took an hour lunch and sat out in the sun and ate mangoes. I was very inspired, so when I got home I immediately rode my bike to the library. I haven't ridden my bike since December.
One thing I noticed...the hills were still very difficult, and despite not having ridden in 2 months - I did BETTER than I had then. The only thing I can attribute this to is diet. It's the only change.
I got home and then walked Leya, then hooped for 20 minutes, lifted weights for 5, THEN had dinner. I made a tomato soup with 3 tomatoes/sundried tomato/4 celery stalks, some dill, and some parsley. SO good...it was almost too much - it was pretty thick so I made little wraps with red leaf lettuce - bits of avocado with the soup/sauce. Seriously - divine. I recommend.
Not pretty, but very yummy!
So on my drive, as usual, I stop for some groceries. This is almost a daily thing since my food is fresh. It was a busy time and no parking spots, so I went through the alley. Some guys were digging through the dumpster - I never would have noticed this if I hadn't been reading the book "Free" for the last week or so. When I parked, I walked back to see what they were doing, and in fact they WERE dumpster diving. I asked if I could take a look.
DOES THIS LOOK LIKE GARBAGE TO YOU??
I was astonished, and this was just one teeny dumpster. I gotta check out Granville Island. Holy. This stuff was perfect, just needed a rinse. Dills, two types of parsley (3 bunches in all) and some Swiss chard. I was there for about 2 minutes. Inside this would have gone for $12-15. It's all organic, too. Wow.

I have been feeling really good. My mood is very up, and I am very confident. My skin is the only thing that is bothering me (bad zits - worst since before-raw), but I have definitely been detoxing - I am very on-track with where I want things to be going, health-wise and even OTHER things - I feel clear and optimistic. I know the tanning helped. I may go back for more, we'll see. I also have red tide - so that explains some of the skin eruptions and my bloated belly. After I ate at Organic Lives the other night, I could push it so far out I looked about 5-6 months pregnant. Oi.
