Hi Everyone! Sorry about no posts for a while, I've been dealing with a family emergency and it's not quite over yet. I'll post again later, when I can. Thanks for reading! :) Aloha!

Sleep: woke at 7am? for temp., up at 9-ish, but stayed in bed dozing here and there to get more sleep 'till 11-ish to sleep for night at 9pm Food: water from 3 young coconuts smoothie of 7 or 8 'cooking' bananas, 2 dates, 1 med. chocolate sapote (& filtered water) while stretching after run another smoothie of 7 'cooking' bananas, 3 dates, 1 med. chocolate sapote after showering (which was after finishing stretching and the other smoothie) 2 cups grapefruit juice after bike ride, followed by 6 surinam cherries off our tree 1 large head of lettuce followed by 5 largish cherry tomatoes sorry, didn't note the times, separated them when separated by time Exercise: Running! Ran 30 minutes straight for the first time today, and a little over 2.6 miles straight for the first time today as well! :) That makes the average pace a 11 minute, 32 second mile-ish. We hit the 1st mile mark at 10 minutes, 32 seconds though. It was quite challenging today, but I did it! Yay!...

Sleep: no temp today up at 7am to sleep for night at 10 or 11pm Food: smoothie with lots of bananas (sorry, didn't count), 3 dates, water and 1 med. chocolate sapote - drank while stretching after run water from 3 young cocos 5 large tangerines 8 chocolate sapotes jicama, 3 tomatoes, part of a small avocado, celery (6 sticks?), & lettuce Sorry, didn't note the times I went with a friend to see if we could harvest chocolate sapotes from some trees she knew about today. They weren't quite ready, but there were lots of citrus dropping off the trees. This was great 'cause I still have some chocolate sapotes and was about to run out of citrus since my son and hubby both decided they wanted to drink lots of OJ the day before (when they haven't been having much or any lately). It's a good thing they weren't quite ready 'cause I forgot to bring my picker poles 'cause I needed to leave earlier than I had planned so was in a rush. Oops! Turned out perfect...

Sleep: woke at 12am 'cause hubby's cell phone was beeping with low batteries, used temperature taking device as flashlight to plug in cell phone & messed up taking temperature so had to skip the temperature this time up at 6:30am to sleep for night at ~10pm Food: ~9am - water from 3 young coconuts ~9:30am - 2 or 3 large tangerines ~noon - about a dozen large tangerines ~3:30pm - 2 small baggies of garbanzo sprouts while in traffic to pick up son ~7pm - 4 green olives given too me, eek! too salty, but liked 'em, ug! ruined my plans ~7:30pm - 3 more green olives, tahini/lemon dip with 2 med. tomatoes in it - celery dipped in it (~10 sticks) Wow, I am soooo glad I've gotten enough fruit to last me now. Today was a disaster for me (well, not a complete disaster, and certainly wouldn't be for everyone, but certainly not how I like to be doing and not how I'm used to be doing, that's for sure)- not enough carbs, too much fat and salt on top of it. Ick! All I h...

Sleep: woke at 2:15am to pee & took temp., up at 8:30am laid down from ~2-3pm, slept about 1/2 that to sleep for night at 11pm-ish? Food: ~10am - fresh squeezed orange juice (OJ) from I don't know how many oranges, after run ~1 gallon ~11am - ~dozen Surinam cherries as I picked 'em from our tree/bush after OJ settled ~3pm - young coconut water ~1 gallon after getting up from laying down ~4pm - ~7 medium chocolate sapotes after the coco water settled ~5:30pm - dozen or so langsat - the ones that were good to eat, not all were ~6 or 7pm - small avocado, 3 yellow tomatoes, ~1 large head romaine, ~8-12 sticks celery, 1-2 Tbs tahini, ~4 Tbs lemon juice from lemons from our tree I was a little concerned in the morning about the continuing lack of ripe bananas and fruit in general, but was able to get by with some oranges and the chocolate sapote that ripened. Yay! Well, that is, until dinner... planned to have jicama with the yellow tomatoes and celery, but the jicama I'd be...

Sleep: woke at 6am to wake people, laid in bed for a couple hours after everyone left at 7:30am, up at about 9 or 10 to sleep for night at ~ 11pm Food: gallon of young coconut water rest of the rambutan I have (about 3 pounds) only banana that was ripe :( it was a 'cooking' one though, which helps 'cause they have more calories 5 large tangerines rest of last night's dinner left overs with a small avocado added a couple of handfulls of my hubby's raw peanuts - probably about two dozen in those shells tahini-lemon dip with about 12 sticks celery Yeah, I definitely overate percentage-wise on the fat calories today. It's probably 'cause I didn't have enough ripe fruit and didn't have a way to get any at the time. Hopefully I'll have enough ripe tomorrow or can go get some somewhere... I wonder how it will affect my running tomorrow, if at all. When I go into town on Wednesday I'm definitely gonna' stock up on bananas however I can - I'll...

I'm posting this on 1/28/08, so anything I didn't write down at the time is from memory. I'm sort of out of the swing of keeping track of it all. Sleep: don't remember when I got up, think it was about 8:30am, had gone to sleep pretty late the night before laid down from about 5:45-6:45pm 'cause my neck was a little stiff and I had a tad of a headache - figured out that it was from working it the day before. I had walked to the farmer's market (about 3-5 blocks-ish) and gotten two bags of stuff. When I was leaving a farmer told me that they had a bunch of chocolate sapotes for me, so I took the box of them. I carried the box of them home, with the bags over my right shoulder. I carried it with my right shoulder up a bit attempting to keep the bags from falling off my shoulder, which eventually they did and I carried it with them fallen to my elbow. I'm pretty sure it's 'cause I carried it so strangely that my neck was a bit sore on the right side. Am...
