Hey there! Welcome back on track! I think that's the real test of how much we have progressed, the way we come back from small setbacks, coz let's face it, the journey will never be a smooth one, so may as well DEAL with the ups and downs!

Wow, I am so impressed by your eats... I mean, raw sprouted, crunchy, herby stuff ick... but I have seen a few interesting raw food recipes around... like a raw pizza base you can make out of nuts and some other stuff in a food dehydrator... you need to get you one of those!!!
 
i just did billy blanks circuit training taebo...and then dancing with the stars dvd...(i am a little sweaty from billy...u are lucky this is not smellavision)...anyway just poppin by to say hy (hi)
 
:beating: Thanks hoochball!! I love you to death!!! Your doing amazing!! You know I'm just me chickee.. That's it... When my friend Aurelio died he reallhy taught me so so much.. He was so so much more than what I ever noticed.. And the truth is chickee.. He was truly an angel in this life.. it was amazing.. and no one ever noticed it until he died.. His motto was leave everyone you meet better than you found them!! We are all humans and all have problems and trials and tribulations in our own lives.. He didn't care how many problems he had, he just wanted to leave everyone better than what they believed they were.. Trip out hah!! So my dear friend If I could give you one lesson in this life let it be that one.. Leave everyone better than they are...:) Dont' judge, don't criticize, just accept everyone for who they are and make them better... I love you a lot my dear friend and I thank you for so much.. You have always been there for me in tough times.. Ur friend forever ..
 
Alta- I'm sending you a big hug & lots of kisses. The smilies just don't cover it! Lots of love. Hope you're ok sweetie, xoxoxoxoxo Cate

Alta! I'm an aweful person :( I haven't been on here in sooooo long to check on everyone! Hope your doing good lady, I've missed you!! :)
 
Hi Alta. I've been lurking here for awhile. I wanted to read all your entries because you are amazing but in the end I was too impatient to get into real time so I fast-tracked to the last page. Your journal is really inspiring.

I hope you had an excellent time on the run! :)

Alta- You say the sweetest things to me & succeed every time in making me feel special. That's a gift! Thank you very much. How did you go in the 12k run, you dynamo, you? Up & down all those hills??????? OMG! Tell me it wasn't! I'm exhausted just thinking about it! xo Cate
 
Thank you guys for coming to stop and check on me! :grouphug: I love you guys!

okay ....so today I saw the pictures from the race...and though, they were cute....I'm STILLLLLLLL SO HUGE! :toetap05: It's unbeleivable, but to ME....I still look like day one!!!! I can't stand it....! I feel great that I have come a long way....YES , I do...but I mean come on!!!! I'm so annoyed at myself cause I am not as consistent as I should be, and for the whole last year, I did not own a full length mirror...that didn't help either,...haha butttttt now that I do! Oh brother!!!!!!



I decided to get back to the grind of training but for real this time!!!!!!



To motivate myself in this direction, I signed up for a 1/2 Marathon coming up this June 14th!! I'm gonna start running hills around the house, cause we actually live about 2 miles from the Hollywood Sign...so....that's what I'm going to do...RUN MY ASS all the way uphill and down, and thats 4miles.....so to train, I'm going to do it TWICE,=8 miles!!!! To do this...I figure I'm going to have to wake up at 5:35 am....! And from there...i can work my magic!!!!



Also, I'm going to start going on my days off to swim again! I let up a bit, but i really want to do a triathalon this year hopefully, come October or November! A bike is on the list next too!! As of now, Spinning will have to do!



Also, I am now incorporating back my RAW, cause yes, I did let up for the past 3 weeks, into a semi cooked vegetarian lifestyle,...and YUP...the need for alka seltzers started coming up again! So that sucks....but I know how to fix it and its RAW baby!! CheeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooW! I TRULY LOVE HOW I FEEL KNOWING THAT WHAT I PUT IN MY MOUTH IS UNPROCESSED! Go figure! !



I'm happy though.:D!..because today is DAY 4 of no drinking!!! Okay...i know this sounds like NOTHING to you all, but what happens to me is I go on these SOCIALIZING BINGES and that's all I want to do lately! SO TO GET MYSELF out,....I have to go cold turkey! TONIGHT WILL BE THE FIRST TEST!...a bbq....(with meat that I don't eat & with Liquor that I don't drink) BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!



But yeah, back to RAW, back to Sprouting, back to Running, back to Spinning, back to Water, and back TO LIVING THE GOOD LIFE!!!! !!!! :party:!



I really want to drop 20 lbs by the end of the summer, actually, I don't even care if it is in lbs or muscle gain...but DO SOMETHING ,ALTA!!


Also, I just finished my first course in Hypnotherapy, and am now certified a "Hypnotist"!!!! ! I passed!!!!!!!!!!! HELL YA!!!!! I really want to do this, and am so proud of myself for doing something and sticking to it!!!! ONE FULL YEAR from now, I should be a CERTIFIED HYPNOTHERAPIST & well on my way to building my "OWN" practice!!!!!!! ! :party:!!! yeaaaaaa!!!!



I can't wait....for the NEWWWWWWWWW ME to emerge!!! !!!!
 
So for a longer quick update......



I was a HUGE success that day at the RAW FOOD POTLUCK!!! :party: Everyone couldn't stop complimenting me on my WONDERFUL FALAFELS that are nice and Raw and Dehydrated. I guess a lot of the people there didn't bother giving dehydration a try yet, and they were all really impressed at the fact that I actually made enough falafels for all 40 people there! ! I was considerate, cause I know when I'm hungry I want to try, and they only told us to bring a plate that serves 8-10! Gaaaashh...that's no where near enough...we were all stampeding to the table of Yummy Healthy Stuff!



I met some great people there! :grouphug: And I also, got 2 more people that said that they would want a "complimentary " Hypnotherapy session in about 5-6 months when I am ready to start my internship and see clients!!!! So far, I have about like 25-30 that said they are interested in coming in for a "Complimentary" session!!! :bigear: I love that whenever I talk about this everywhere I go, people open up to me and start telling me all these crazy things that have been stumping them from being the whole being they want to be!



Yesterday for example, we were in class talking about Fears & Phobias,...really really interesting stuff....but to make a long story short, at the end of class, we ALWAYS hypnotize someone...so since it was a fears and phobias,...all of a sudden there were all kinds of people in my class who volunteered to tell us their fears and phobias! I was shocked at how composed people seem to be and then when they talk about their fears and phobias their face tenses up, their hands start getting fidgety, and you can tell they have ANXIETY talking about it.



Up until this point, we have seen some pretty cool stuff happen during Hypnosis, but yesterday I was really really impressed!! So this lady raises her hand right, and starts telling the instructor that she has a fear of heights. The way we were able to distinguish that it was a fear, was because she recalled the origination of it, where as in phobias, most often people can't recall the origination of the phobia, as it starts in adulthood mostly, and with fears it originates mostly in childhood. So she says that she was dropped from Bleachers @ school when she was young while a bunch of kids and her were playing! It was not purposely done, but other things throughout time have as well influenced her fear deeper since then.



So the instructor told her to go to the front of the room, and he induced her and quickly before we induced her, you could see the fear because she was advised that before entering hypnosis that the purpose of this was to bring up the trauma/fear and that at the snap of his fingers she would be able to PASS the situation that scares her. So she went into hypnosis, and while he was talking to her to bring up the fears, her eyes were closed, and all of a sudden this lady who is always smiling, is BURSTING IN TEARS and then SNAP ...she passed it, and he did it again, and again, and again...the point being to bring it up 4 times, and each and every time she tries to bring it up, the harder it becomes because she can control it. SO as he is talking to her , she cries with her eyes closed, (it was sad cause who knew this was so painful for her, cause you cant tell on the outside what is going on in the inside)..and then became calm and did it over and over. FINALLY...once we have gone through what is called "CIRCLE THERAPY" with her, he starts telling her that the more she is able to bring up this emotion, the more she will feel like grinning, smiling, or even laughing, at the issue. I'd say it was about 25 minutes into it, and this woman whom you could see the TERROR like she was going to DIE, on her face...dissipate...and all of a sudden..SHE IS BUSTING UP LAUGHING like no other!!! It was like she was at the funniest comedy show she had ever been to in her life! HARD LAUGHING while her eyes were closed! It was amazing!!! ....Finally he brings her out of it, and she gets up and wipes the tears, and has a HUGE HUGE smile, still laughing....and says " THAT WAS AMAZING!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT JUST HAPPENED! It was FREAKIN SCARRY and the more she brought up the feeling each and every time, she said it got scarrier, more VIVID each time...and then all of a sudden she said,..that the fear, just seemed to be ridiculous, and she couldn't help the URGE TO LAUGH!!!!"....

...she got up and HUGGED the instructor and said that this has been an issue her whole life, and she is mid 30's early 40's I'd say! !



...THAT ALONE makes it all worth it! ....then I won't even tell you how many other people in my class started crying after seeing that and raising their hands with their fears and phobias! ..by then the instructor said that time was strapped so we had to cut it short! ...AMAZING THOUGH! I can't wait to help people like that and get such a positive response!!! !!:biggrinjester:




I also signed up for a 1/2 Marathon this June 14th and am going running tonight 9 miles!!! Hope to get a swim in tonight as well!!! I'm going to try and run, at least 4 times a week especially until the race! I'm excited and intimidated but I KNOW I CAN DO IT! Hopefully I just do it in decent time...wouldn't that be embarrassing if they closed the course down, and this chubby whubby girl is still out there..hahah!!! !!!

Had a great swim last night too!! :D!



Oh well!!! ! I am eating Raw again, but I need to go shopping more, to get more nuts and seeds, cause I need more protein and I know it! I still feel energized though, but still, I NEED IT! Especially with this race coming up. I got an email today, that there is a group that is running the race on the course 2 times, before the race, and to bring 60 oz. of water with you!



I think I'm gonna do it with them, cause 1) I CAN and 2) I need to get rid of the anxiety and train more 3) If I know the trail, it will seem shorter while doing it!


Went to CATALINA this past weekend and had lunch and rent the golf carts that people drive out there! Gotta love how no one owns a real car on that island! When we went last time a couple years ago, people even had the golf carts with Spinning WHEELS on them! hahaha !



I'm off to go run later guys! LOVE YOU ALL!!! !!!

Whoa Fantastic!!! Great work on earning your Hypnosis License..Did I get that right?

Awesome I am very excited for you! That is a lot of hard work, studying, practice, AND all of your hard work into such a Healthy & Brilliant Lifestyle!!! :party:

Good Job on day four of no Alcohol! Social Booze Binges, toughy.

Do you normally have breaks with the Raw Diet? I am just curious. I know things can become much easier and just a way of life with anything, but isn't the Raw Diet a lil bit harder to keep under wraps?

You're a trooper, you will do well on your 1/2 Marathon, and now for a Triathlon! WOOT! YOU GO GIRL!!!
 
Hello Alta, my love! Just checking in to see how you are... I've been MIA for awhile but staying on track! Looks like you are doing great, as always!
