day 18 at Optimum Health

A wonderful and relaxing day ...moving from juicing to meals again ...ate a great dinner...loving the food...my weight is stable now...whew...have a restful and peaceful evening...

Day 17 at Optimum Health

What a great day! So many wonderful birthday messages...I spent a very simple day with my son in Ocean Beach walking around the farmers market ...talking and enjoying the change from North County to Ocean Beach to downtown etc. I used to live in P.B and O.B and then North County...it feels familier and yet so different...what a lovely day...

I've lost more weight so now Optimum Health is having me eat a few more calories without going off my plan...I've now lost 15 lbs...the good thing is I feel great and if I just built muscle again I think I would gain a few from that and then feel even better...I used to weigh about what I weigh now in college and when I was a runner... then I started to add weight lifting to my program and I slowly gained weight...now it feels like I'm returning to my real body size...I feel great...

Mary is at her home again with hospice assisting her and her wonderful family and friends surrounding her..she is happy.

Love to everyone and thanks again for the wonderful birthday wishes...it feels so good to feel so loved.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

An inspirational story about life

Please click on the above link to a story about living with cancer and or surviving cancer against all odds...all is possible...a great reminder and a wonderful birthday gift to wake up to...thank you Libby...you can be inspired no matter what life brings you...we are all challenged in some way...it doesn't have to be an obvious disease...it can be the negative mind chatter that spirals us downward...may we all find ways to heal ...our hearts...our past and future mistakes...our negative patterns...may we release and dissolve into the space that can heal us...Have a beatiful day!

Day 16 at Optimum Health

I woke up more fatigued this morning so I took my time ...no walk...no morning exercise...just took my time with all of the other things that one does here at Optimum...it worked...my energy returned and I had my juice...took juice with me and headed home for laundry and Qigong...I feel great...I juiced all day and then a small meal tonight...I feel so much better...ready to go to bed earlier tonight...My birthday is tomorrow...53...it feels so random...I'm going to quietly celebrate...have a great sleep and a wonderful wednesday...Love to all...

Day 15 at Optimum Health

Monday ...today I woke up to my new room...I moved upstairs last night and what a difference...uplifing and bright and happy and I can do yoga and qigong with enough room ...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...so wonderful!

Very relaxed and calm day...I will be staying here an extra week...that was the original plan and then I thought it would be too much and now I realize that it's exactly what I need...so a full month on this discipline food regimine and then on to the next wonderful adventure...My body is loving this food and this way of life......

Some of you have asked me if I'm going to attend the yoga vista benefit day and it turns out that I have my masters level reiki training this weekend ...it has been planned for months and I can't change it...however...if I'm not too tired...I may come and visit in the early evening...around 5ish and say hi and share some love...thank you to all who will be going and to all who are there in spirit ...it is incredible to feel this support...

Have a wonderful night and I'll talk to you soon,
Summer

day 14 at Optimum Health

Today was a different day...I have a similar routine in the morning as previously mentioned...then I went to the Buddhist Center to retrieve some items that I had left the week prior...was able to see and connnect with mentors whom I love!

Then I was supposed to see my son but the timing was off ...so...I'm preparing to continue the eating plan at home ...so I went to the container store and purchased some glass jars and such to aid me in the process...I rarely go down there...or over there ...it's amazing ....I'm so excited about glass jars...hee hee...this is what happens on a lot of wheat grass juice...

I feel great...inspired by the love and support that I feel in the community...I don't quite know what to say...everyone should feel what I feel right now and the world would be healed!

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day...Love to you Mary...you're in my heart every moment...

my husband and I
