30 bananas a Day Jingle!

Wrote and recorded this song one morning a bit ago... maybe you've seen it. Just thought it should go on my blog.

Day 100 and Beyond!

Hey there to my three blog followers.... Haven't been posting in a while. Blogging every day totally helped me in the beginning to keep on it, but after I got my routine down, it eventually got to be too much.

Averages lately:

Sleep: average of 9 hours

Water: 1.5 - 2.5 gallons a day

Food: 4000-7000 calories a day. Fruits and greens.
Today:
breakfast: 20 bananas, 3 baskets of strawberries
lunch: 14 mangoes
dinner: 1.5 pounds of dates

Exercise: getting a wide range of exercise: running, gymnastic-type body weight exercises, cycling, dancing, swimming, little bit of weights, yoga.
Today:
Went for a hike/run with a friend, then did pull-ups, handstands, dips, core work. (made me hungry!)


Ain't no stoppin', I'm still poppin'!
Sooooo... I wasn't thinking very far into the future when I titled my blog. I feel too good to stop doing what I'm doing. The benefits outweigh by far the drawbacks (wait what are the drawbacks anyways, other than lack of conformity?). Fresh fruit! So simple and so good. My body loves the way I've been treating it.

Benefits off the top of my head:

Ridiculous recovery from exercise

Soooo much energy

Sooooo much joy

Calm

Steady energy

More in tune with intuition

Better mood

Clearer skin

No need for shampoo

Pleasant BO

I'm extending my challenge to a year. About 1/3 of the way there!

The pictorial results for all you visual people:

Day 3: 1/13/11

Sleep: 9 hrs. Anything more than 8 is good for me, will shoot for 10 tonight.

Water: 4.5L

Food:
AM- 1# barhi dates,
PM- 10 mini-bananas, 20 Manila mangoes,
tomorrow- remember to eat that beautiful head of lettuce from Full Belly Farm.

Exercise: pretty sore from all of yesterday's activity, biked a bit and stretched.

I could have eaten more today, I'm still waiting on 120# bananas to ripen, maybe I should put those on top of the fridge to get warm / ripen quicker. I ordered a 15# box of dates (khadrawi and honey) which will take a few days to get here. Going to Berkeley Bowl tomorrow morning to see if they have a deal on bruised bananas, and check out the Mexican papayas. Still have a few persimmons.

Day 2: 1/12/11

Sleep: 8 hrs... tonight will be better

Water: 3.5L so far

Food: AM- 15 persimmons, 1 pomegranate, PM- 15 persimmons, the rest of yesterday's soup

Exercise: AM- monkey conditioning class, aerial conditioning class, walked 6 miles, PM- handstand class, breakdance class

Mood: grateful, up!

Waoh! My teeth stopped hurting! Didn't take Advil all day. I had 3 crowns done a couple weeks ago and they've been hurting me almost every day since then... but not today.

Day 1: 1/11/11

Ok so today is the day that I jump into it f'reals. After 3 years of dabblery I hearby begin 100 days of 100% lfrv.

Sleep: about 10 hours

Food: AM- 22 fuyus, PM- 18 manilla mangoes, bok choy tomato parsley lemon soup

Water: not sure I had enough

Exercise: today was a rest day, yesterday I took a handstand class and a monkey conditioning class.

Going to sleep now. Tomorrow morning awaits!
