Journal Entry: March 11th 2018 – Riding the Good Wave

Keeping it Up

It has been an other amazing week of me feeling great.

  • Dry-fast on Sunday
  • On Monday, I went to this new place named Gratitude on “calle Dorrego” to break my fast. They have some plant based food options, along with delicious juices. Their pricing is on the affordable side, the portions are huge, and the produce they use to prepare the food seem to be of extreme good quality. Although I suspect most of the produce they use to be traditionally grown, the quality offered for the peso is pretty impressive.
  • On Tuesday, I ate at home, pursuing the oil and nut free, raw plant based diet.
  • On Wednesday, I had my third salt flush. OMG! On my two previous salt flush attempts, I only had to go to the bathroom twice at each session. This time around, I actually understood why this practice is called a salt flush. I ended up going to the bathroom seven or eight times. At the end I had the feeling that my entire digestive system was completely emptied out. After the digestive tsunami was over, I felt kind of tired and took a nap for a couple of hours. When I woke up I wasn’t feeling all that great. I made myself a delicious green juice, and went out for a walk to “El Rosedad de Palermo” at sunset. A few minutes after making it to “El Rosedad”, something amazing happened to me internally. I started to experience an unprecedented mind clarity. I ended up walking for about two hours, the weather was perfect and the park beautiful. The combination of the salt flush, the nap, the green juice, and the walk in a beautiful setting, had taken me to a place where I felt extremely serene, in peace, and inspired. I decided to not eat solid food for the rest of the day, so the mind clarity could sustain itself as long as it could.

Jamming

I made it back home around 9:00PM. I had not taken my phone with me. As I took a look to the screen saver of my smartphone, I saw that I had several messages from the same number. Obviously someone was trying to get a hold of me.Continue reading

Journal Entry: January 21st 2018 – The Return of Alma Zen and my Work Opportunity

The Importance of Quality Produce

This week in terms of food intake, I can easily say that I’ve been a bit all over the place. I dry-fasted on Sunday as usual, I ate out on Monday twice. I ate at home on Tuesday and Wednesday %100 raw plant based food. For the rest of the week I combined eating out and eating at home.

Alma Zen, my organic grocer are back from vacation. Although they are out of their arcade in Belgrano, they still do home delivery. I ordered a good amount of fruits and vegetables for the week. By Alma Zen being back in business, I think I learned a great deal about the difference between various products which are sold as organic. As I mentioned in my previous post, even though my current living situation is near perfect at the moment, I had a hard time adjusting to my new place and kick start the new year. One of the elements that had changed in my lifestyle was that people running Alma Zen were on summer vacation. Therefore I couldn’t get access to the produce they bring from the province of Buenos Aires three times a week. After a couple days of juicing and making salads with their produce, I was able to get a part of my energy levels back to where I had left a month ago.Continue reading
