oh I have this all the time but blame my sensitive skin and chlorine........... yeah it bearable but makes me miserable when i get it:))
so the more fiber you eat is better or you have to control the fiber intake? I would think the best would be not to go over 20 g a day.........I find it is a problem. Something seems so trivial, but it is not. Do whatever help you. :)

I hope you have managed to find a win somewhere out there in the land of soap my good friend. :) Here is to thinking of you and yours this day as I'm about to hit the hay.
I know you may not have much time on hand, but I will share at any rate:
Excellent Walking Podcast → Walking Meditation to Relieve Stress and Lose Weight ← Excellent walking Podcast.
I always love finding a good podcast to head outdoors with. Just finished sharing that one in another post about healthy eating and exercise being good for anxiety. I kind of thought is was sad that people have to ask in order to know whether it is or is not. Sign of the times I guess. This kind of makes walking look even more attractive for me. I've been working out so hard, that I now welcome a good hours brisk walk. I was getting in some good meditation sessions with some of my 10K jogs, but since tightening up my plant based diet, I am enjoying the breeze with my early morning winter walks.
Walking really is the answer to just about anything! I am so thankful that I can now walk painlessly for so long and also do it fast, yet I am also doing slow walks in my backyard. I walk very slowly backwards and forwards (grass under foot!) just in my runners shorts in order to both meditate under movement and catch the rays of the sun. It's an excellent low key activity that allows me to better digest my small meals and empty my mind. Generally I feel pretty good about what it is that I will go and do next ... often I really don't know what that is until I have done a walk.
I have been having little power naps as well. 4:30 - 5:00 am still suits me fine with an early night - typically before 9pm ... sometime 8pm. Still doing my weights down at the gym. Mondays/Wednesdays & Fridays. Still flying through those workouts with medium weights and high reps - (30 second intervals full systems go from beginning to end) - that's why I have been enjoying the walking and backing off the jogging ... as to fine tuning my high density nutritional needs ... bla bla bla bla ... :)
Science aside (although comes in handy to keep me going) - I am really feeling much better when out on the trails. I've been a few times out for day hike, but have had others with me, so still not done my V-log. Soon enough I guess. YAWNS ............... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
It's all good whilst yet, I know much is not. My new friend has finally come to accept what he cannot change with regard to his ITO (involuntary treatment order) - Good for him! Is the only way sometimes - most times in fact. YAWNNNNNN ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I am very much looking forward to my morning walk. My son is coming, so I might jog a little here and there. See how I feel - see how he feels :)
I think that's wrap for now.
Adios - until next post.

Learning how our calf muscle takes on half the function of our heart muscle really put things into perspective for me. Once that fact sinks in, you really begin to understand how sitting and standing really is killing us.
This podcast is certainly one of my favorites in the walking genre.
Happy to share. ;)

Went to the cinemas today. I saw THE WARCRAFT movie. It reminded me of when I used to play Warhammer. I was not sure about it, but thought they did a good job overall. I was glad I went. I hope they make a sequel.

Reconnecting with Our Lives – Healing from Dissociation
I always said Disassociate Today! However there has to be a lvl of understanding as prescribed in the above podcast for it to be effective. I choose to dissociate from Society and its ideals; mostly those I know that are destructive. (Especially religion and limiting belief systems) Rather than living to an ideal standard, I choose to live through my own understanding and learn from my own experiences. Kind of like reconnecting with the source that many of us do not understand, yet it's OK not to know. The latter reminds of of Jon Kabat-Zin and his Stress Reduction Program based on mindfulness.
Speaking of which, I think I will make this mornings walk with no podcasts.
Adio - until next post.

Hmmmm - Anxiety & Depression - Recovery Without Medication. I'm pleased to say I have pretty much finalized my website for the homeless project both my wife and I are now running. We have had a few inquiries with positive outcomes already. At this stage I am done with seeking out funding and just happy to run it from the website as is. Learning to make the website with WIX was a good learning experience and now I am itching to start up up webstie/blog. I've made a few attempts in the past but never really got them off the ground. I think with my new found wisdom regarding how to use WIX - I think I may start up a website/blog once more. It will help me to keep focused on my continued recovery, which in all respects is going to take me until I die ... then who knows what will happen. :)
So - Anxiety & Depression - Recovery Without Medication sounds like a good title? I'm not going to win a popularity contest with a title like that, but it will offer up a niche that's in great need. A huge subject that needs to navigate a LOT of misinformation intended to keep people hooked. FOOD is the last addiction that all of us will have to contend with.
Sounds like a plan ... might go toy with this idea a little more where it counts. WIX ;)
Adios until next post.

I got side tracked - The intention is still there though. I ended up playing City Skylines for a bit on my PC. Just getting ready for my morning walk. I think I will cut back the pace this week both on the road and inside the gym. Will focus more on my eating habits. Many of the new hints and tips in that regard are starting to really sink in that I am in a better position to fine tune them. More so, simply put them into practice. So many years of abuse simply from eating a diet of diary, meat and wheat. It's a whole new recovery game in it's own right, let alone the behavioral issues spawn from such conditioning. None the less, VERY EMPOWERING to know that know matter how controlled we think ourselves to be, that we will always have a choice when it comes to what we put inside our mouths. I ponder to think how that alone can affect the way we think, perceive and speak. No matter how toxic those decisions may seem, one can always make a healthier, less damaging and less toxic decision choice. Such a mind set is what it takes to heal in such a toxic world.
I may keep going over the same things, but I do so differently each time and in my persistence I am slowly recovery in ways that makes me truly free. Free from the addiction of both pain and food. Learning to find comfort in discomfort and better appreciate the space in between. On that note I push through a little procrastination I can feel creeping in by getting out of this comfy chair and begin my morning trek. Here's to a week of steady states.

Hi Dave try to mix work with relaxation. You went such long way, give yourself a moment of stillness. Or just play the game for some time, to calm down the thoughts. I am still eating clean too. the only sin I do is eating feta cheese. One Cappuccino a day. :)) I damn tired after two days of show. next week I will start on Friday finish on Sunday, but I do not think I will make a lot. :))

Right on D. This week is D-Stress week for me. I am not doing Gym this week, however I am well placed not to. I am walking a LOT though and don't mind it at all. 2 hours solid walking everyday now, but in a meditative like state. I also walk in between at a much slower pace in my backyard.
My focus is purely on food this week and also the way I eat it. I ponder on that later. For now, It's time to embark on my morning walk.
I hope this finds you somewhat more restored.
Thanks for checking in. Much appreciated.

Well I just made a wonderful facial cream, which failed before. Shoot one small mistake and it is garbage;). Spend time with my best, my only friend, had a nice relaxing time. I woke up at 6:30 and already made a lot. In a few minutes, I am going downstairs to make Arnica salve with new addition of Comfrey root infusion. I am short for the show, and I have almost none at my bedside.......I think that you could take a rest for a week, like 1 hour of brisk walk should be enough. You spend a lot of time, preparing the food, cleaning, cooking, shopping. I can not even imagine. My DH helps me in the garden................the rest is on me:(
I feel rested finally :)
