So how are you finding the rice diet?>>>>>
Mark,
Well lets put it this way. tomorrow will be ten days of rice and tea 3X a day. I decieded that since it's going so well I'm going to make this into a two week journey. Lots of and ups and downs to it. Mostly ups though.
I feel a definite sense of more calm than I did before. I was always pretty OK especially being I meditate almost every day. I'm a builder (renovations) so I'm pretty active all day and that alone can tire you out.
I thought the rice on one hand might not be enough for me being so active but on the other hand i thought that it does have carbs which do turn into energy.
I don't really feel any more tired than I ever did,,,maybe a little less but not enough to swear to that. Doesn't really matter. Just letting you know where i am with this. As I said...I "would" swear to feeling a bit more calm.
Oh yeh, and another great and mind blowing thing is...I've lost exactly 15 pounds as of today and I'm not eating particularly small bowls of rice. 1 1/4 cup dry cooked with about two and a half cups of spring water.
I never dreamt THAT would happen!! I was 185 exactly and on the same scale today I'm 170. Geezzz.
If I shrink any more than that I'll be what I was when I was in my early twenties.,,,lol.
Its taken a whole lot of discipline not to nosh especially at night. And seeing the crap other people in my house are eating makes it more difficult. Sure would love a handful of Cheese-Its...yummm, or potatoe chips or...ugh.
But I'll tell you. I've worked it all through with myself and I'm totally cool with it all because this is how I "want" to be and that takes more discipline which is all part of what I want this journey to be all about.
PS.. I never looked up what green meant but green has to be a good thing : )
Be well bro
Namaste'
