Thailand update
Lots of mangoes, sunshine & cycling today.
70kms on the bike - from Chanthaburi to Laem Sing beach & back, it was really quite humid today but since learning how to drink enough water (5.5 litres today) I can withstand any heat without a problem.
DR & I have worked out how to get water over here without sacrificing our health & the planet (via purchasing plastic bottles). There are restaurant-type places dotted everywhere throughout Chanthaburi & surrounding towns, they carry large cannisters of water & the thai's are more than happy to fill up for us & they refuse money every time...lovely people the Thai's.
I am off the durian for now, I love the stuff but for me its just too fatty to make a mono meal of, maybe dessert. I noticed that I have gained about 6pounds or so from hammering the durian!! I know Its fluid retention & its finally starting to go because I'm just eating mangoes now...tells me a lot about durian & my body. I know durian has a high sulphur & sodium content so this may have something to do with the water-retaining 'qualities'.
Oh mangoes are just heaven over here!! The variety is called 'NamDokMais' - so I am in sweet sweet mango heaven for maybe the next couple of weeks

A special Connection between beings...
THIS POST IS FROM JAN 10
Having real quality time in the garden with the chickens im looking after here...they are so gorgeous. When I came to this housesit they were cooped up in a tiny pen with hardly any light & the cage is like 1metre by 1metre....outside this pen is the most wonderful garden...I immediately opened the gate, they needed to stretch & flap those wings....I decided if they flew out or got out somehow then ...so be it (ofcourse i would try to find them!!) but anyway that's what i concluded...
Anyway their first outing was real tense....they (like us humans) are conditioned to stay in their 'box' or comfort zone.....first they would ever so slowly poke there heads out the cage and look around, one was about to step out and got a fright & disappeared back to safety...sort of like us when we are challenged - instead of facing our fears and embracing change we sometimes tend to hide and 'play it safe'.....anyways they eventually after a good 1/2hr they came out, very tense on high alert after a good while started to relax. Over the next couple of outings they were dust-bathing and really starting to get the hang of this 'freedom' thing and I was loving witnessing it...was tear worthy seriously. At first they were scared of me & would run for cover whenever i was near...
Its now been several weeks and the last couple of days get this...they have been FLYING over to me!! Its sooo beautiful, they land at my feet, I sit with them and eat my meals and they just hang around me! Its really quite surreal, i feel such a connection to these lovely beings....another confirmation why I am vegan, they are my friends, i love them i really do, i don't want to eat them, i want to know them...and connect with them and I see it in them with me too, its a lovely feeling...
we don't realise our potential till we leave our 'box' and really start 'flying' & living & feeling.....no more comfortable numbing, feeling is where the growth is.....

What you order, you receive....
THIS POST IS FROM JAN 10 - WHOOPS IM GOING BACKWARDS..
A lovely day of posting & improving the site coupled with singing & munching on loads of yummy fruity goodness....
My nails are looking really great at the moment, in the past I have always despised my nails and hands, telling myself they were ugly and red swollen yukky hands.....yep that kinda self talk. What does this self-talk do for us??...Well a lot of things really....puts out an order to the universe....'Im ugly, im not worthy, treat me this way....' ofcourse no one really wants this delivery....they put the order out but when it arrives most people are like 'Oh this isn't fair I don't want this, please not me etc...' but in reality this 'gift' was not by mistake it was intentional & we unkowingly placed the order....but this is a gift of growth and until we treat this order as a gift & learn from its arrival then we will be stuck treading water...struggling from drowning....on the edge of the waterfall peering over instead of overcoming the rapids with intentional conscious focus on dry land...(am i getting carried away here..)
One day I decided that I had enough of that talk!!!!!!!!!! I love myself and im proud of it god dam it!!! This realisation yes did take time to arrive at....or maybe it didn't, maybe that day I said 'that's it!' was always an option for me?...I could've walked that path at any time but I felt comfortable in my pity, it was home, we knew eachother, there was certainty and consistency.
Its an empowering feeling to be freeeeeeeeeee and choose to love my skin im in and I really feel this is why I attain/project the results I desire because my order is a conscious one & always from a good place.....a place I now feel comfortable to call my new home....somewhere that I can thrive & grow & not drown like I used to in a pool of fear & procrastination....

Tell them now or allow the 'bus' of inevidibility to run them over....
POST FROM JAN 11TH - I am now posting on www.30bananasaday.com
Tonight did a 12km run, my heart rate started off a bit elevated which i attribute to not enough sleep.
Duration...................1hr 25
Heart rates...............Ave-156, Max-168
Calories...................900
Felt pretty good during my run, pretty exhausted by the end but charged up all the same. I helped a lady with her form when she was doing pushups, she was close to really doing an injury & I offered a little advice, she was very grateful.....there's always that question of Do I say nothing & just keep jogging? Or should I 'offer' advice & potentially save this lady from injury.....this can be applied to other situations ofcourse.....like informing someone who is eating a Big Mac that it could 'injure' them if they keep doing those Big Mac bicep curls.....its commonly accepted & expected that if someone's about to get hit by a bus we would scream out and try to warn them, wouldn't you?....should we only 'warn' people when in 'emergency' situations where death is immenint??
Or should we speak up while there's still time before the 'bus' of inevidibility eventually runs them over....I know it isn't encouraged in mainstream society & probably not alternative circles either.....Oh that's too egotistical, you can't say that....who gives you the right to comment etc....I feel the question to ask is 'can we NOT say anything & sleep at night knowing we may have just kept valuable information from another being that desperately needs guidance'.....maybe that intuitive voice we hear prompting us to say something to that person is actually the universal consciousness advising us & attempting to help bring us together in unity.... its little wonder that our awareness as a collective is so low when we ignore the seeds of compassion & poison them as 'ego' instead.... thoughts to ponder.....
Running this week....42kms (easy base-building stuff)
Total Duration...........5hrs 20
Total Calories...........3094
I weights session & 2 yoga sessions....
Didn't do nearly enough cycling & weights....this week will be different

Flexibility in Life.....
This is from a couple of days ago, i am blogging on my website
www.30bananasaday.com
I feel so amazingly flexible at the moment! Its fantastic! I was in the gym stretching & felt like i could've twisted myself into a pretzel.....and as I rode home down the esplanade in Darwin past the bent trees that survived Cyclone Tracey it just reinforced to me the importance of flexibility......flexibility in life.....Yes, Rigidity is needed for a strong core, foundation & to maintain poise.... but for best results shouldn't this be balanced with flexibility in order to survive the ever-changing weathers of life?.....just like the palms from the cyclone we can bend & flex to suit the conditions & to meet our needs.....building strength each time as we 'weather the storm',.....but if we flex too far what could this mean?....compromising our beliefs in order to fit in or be accepted, falling back in line with the herd because its 'safe'......what does this sort of hyperextension lead to? We may start to wither & become weak at our core....our core values....the very essence of our being....then helplessly give in, surrender & die....our 'flame' starts to flicker as our passion dries up from lack of 'nutrition' or 'purpose'......So for me long term success & fulfillment in life - just like a palm tree....depends on flexibility of character forged through adversities but having well-established roots which draw nourishment from a stable foundation....Lovefreexo

Hitting those high notes....
Had a fantastic singing lesson today and really feel like I had a breakthrough with hitting some high notes....its sortof 'made sense' in my head....I have been allowing my 'full voice' to come out, at first to me it sount quite terrible! But my little brain is working over time matching resonations, im slowly learning to 'listen' more and really feel and sort of sink into the notes & become 1! I told you singing was a spiritual thing!
As for the guitar still keeping the couch warm untuned!.....goal for tomorrow....tune guitar..
I woke early this mornin, sat down & hydrated & thought about my daily doings....Its always a peaceful time for me first thing, easing into the day, looking forward to the bounty of blissfullness!!
Trained my singing teacher, we are really having a great time together, laughing and joking, she is a real character and has a big heart. We did some real fun training in the playground today, using the balancing equip which looked like a lot of fun and is good for core stability. Im constantly reminded how important it is to make exercise fun, why can't we enjoy ourselves like kids?? Are we immune to fun now we're older?....
I did 25kms on the bike today, quite easy but had some spurts here and there which felt great, unfortunately im governed by the state of the paths and whether glass is everywhere, since new years celebrations it has been a bit dodgy...
Drinking...A habit which definitely deadens the spirit & destroys the soul.....I love to feel, I want to feel God dam it! The subtle energy vibe & intuitive voice is drowned out too easily these days with so many distractions - fear from media, cooked food, keeping up with the jones's, hollywood worshipping...the list goes on....
I might start a group called 'The feelers...' :-DD
I did 1hr of weights and about 20mins of yoga & gymnastics in the gym, felt good, so flexible on lowfat, its rediculous! The energy paths are open, the meridians are clear and directing the bloodflow & lifeforce freely....not a bad feeling i must say! I did lots of clean & press with a 20kg barbell, usually do 30kg but as i've been a little sleep deprived from the site (not complaining) i thought id go easy.
Anyways here's what I ate today.....
I haven't got quantities sorry
Loads of white dragonfruit all day and finished with this pasta creation (i posted the recipe on the lowfat recipe section)Also check out my new logo! Ryan off the forum created it for us!
