New Years Resolutions (Week One)

Well it's been 1 week since my dramatic transformation of life and let's see how it's going.

Blood Pressure : 133/76

Blood Sugar : 105 <--- This pisses me off .. higher than last week!!

Weight : No idea, the only scale I have is a piece-O-crap that varies 40 lbs each time you step on it, and since I'm not allowed to leave my property till February to use a good scale, we won't know till then.

General Demeanor: Good. It's only been a week, but I thought I'd feel better than I do. I have not noticed any dramatic changes in the past week. Just a lot more sore muscles than usual due to hauling a damn tree through 3 feet of snow 100lbs at a time.

Here are some things that I can tell you about week one:

- My beard is a little longer - I REALLY miss butter!! No butter sucks, and I can't use 'Butter Buds' powder because it's NOT natural. SUCKS! Have you ever made hash browns without oil or butter? THEY SUCK!

- I made a 15 bean stew one morning and ate it all day long on and off. The next day I set a new record in the bathroom for a one time sitting, I won't go into details but I don't need an enema.

- I only shower 2 or 3 times a week now. I'm not sure why, but it sure has cut down on the sex life. On the other hand, I'm saving water in showers and cleaning clothes all the time. So it's a kinda even trade off overall.

- I pee outside a lot, I'm not sure what this means either. I'm starting to wonder why we have indoor toilets however so I'll let you interpret that as you see fit.

- "Operation tree" is coming along good, it's a workout that's for sure. Hauling the logs through 100 yard of snow is an extreme challenge. You can see the progress on the pictures below.









- I put together this salad dressing of vinegar, dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, and pepper. It ROCKS .. I like it better than most store bought ones.

- I'm starting to like oatmeal a bit more, it took awhile from my first meal as it reminded me of dog barf.

- Captain Morgan is not that good straight out of the bottle. I only tried it once. I don't miss pop, but I do wish I could have it for these times.

- I SUCK at making rice. It's pasty, or taste kinda like flour, or hard, or mushy, or something. Every time! Don't get me wrong .. I love rice, but I just haven't figured out how to make this raw stuff I bought yet. This AIN'T your Momma's minute rice, that's for sure.

- "Operation not leave the property" is going GREAT!! I love it! Everyday I'm just confined to MY little world of 15 acres to do what I want, when I want, how I want. I only wish life could be this good all the time as I watch tons of cars zoom by during the day on their quest to do whatever crap they seem to find important to do. NOT ME ... my vehicle will just continue to do what it seems happy doing right now ... collecting snow!

- And finally, my 'All Natural' way of living and eating has NOT shocked my brain into thinking that getting a job and going back to work is a good idea. In fact, I think it's dumber than EVER! This is awesome folks ... I'm on vacation every single day. Right now I spend my days getting wood for next winter for heat and reading up on other things I'll need to know. It's a hell-of-a-long way from self sufficiency, but I'll get this all figured out before too long, then I'll just sit back watch the world go by in my own little world 'till the cows come home (uhmmmm, assuming I figure out how to raise them that is!)

Todays RBV: Genesis 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.


Sooooo once upon a time there was God who had this ultimate master plan to create people. He created 2 people, who in turn, had 2 kids. Then one day one kid killed the other kid, killing off 25% of the population. Now if I was God, and this was my master plan, and this was the result after just 4 people, I think I would have just scratched this idea and started over.
