The Heart of the Matter

Cardiometabolic dysfunction in all forms, is still the single biggest health threat in our society, and it is a lifestyle disease. It is the core issue in most chronic disease. Of course we do have a bad problem with Fentanyl, however the most recent year the CDC reports is 2021, and opioid deaths were 71,000 and deaths from heart issues are typically around 700,000 in recent years, and presently…

Yeah, so while I was on my "I'm going to read into Vanny/Vanessa as much as possible" journey, I noticed an odd quirk in her animations in how she moves. At first, I thought it reminded me of a ballerina, 'cause she's kinda tip-toeing, & she has this way of keeping her head & chest in one place as she moves, but I looked again & realized --

That's not ballet! She's doing a tight-rope act. Like, look at this one:

This is like standing up on the wooden boards before you do the actual tight-rope walking, & the ring leader is hyping you up as you do some fun movement for the crowds. &, then, these:

These are all instances where she walks with one foot directly in front of the other. In that third, she's doing the "woaaah" wiggly-ass balance movements & everything, as if she's swaying up at the top of the tent, even though she's down on solid ground.

Idk, I feel like the way her feet are placed isn't accurate (pretty sure they should be pointed left & right, not both forwards...) doesn't make this 100% correct, but I like it. It also connects back with her first SB teaser, wherein she's up in the rafters.

this week's food haul 😌

[plantbasedmimi3]

Soft tacos with air fried tofu, cooked kidney beans, garden zucchini, tomatoes, lettuce, violifeca shreds, mushrooms, garlic, onions, hemp seeds parmesan.

How can something so easy to make be so delicious? Maybe because it's all plant-based! 😀🌱

I just realized I have been doing both dieting and exercising - I went vegan 2 years ago and I've been walking miles every day for work, up and down hills - and I still eat the same amounts of food I used to eat before all this (even less because I literally have less time to eat now), yet I haven't lost ONE kg. Oh no! A fat person just proved that dieting and exercising won't always work to lose this demonic mass of fat! Quick fatphobes, get all the successful weight loss stories and blame the fat person's "failure" on something else!

I don't know if any of my followers here are into Human Design (it's a bit like astrology, but a bit more practical in its application).

A lot of people try to eat intuitively, or find a way of eating that suits them. But that's difficult to do when your mind is clouded with so much conflict over what is best. Diet culture has poked its head into many healthy eating spaces time and time again. And every body is different, with different needs. So, you have to let go of all the crap to really start tuning in with your body and nourish it properly.

In Human Design, there is an aspect called digestion (or determination). It dictates how you most efficiently digest/intake information. It's not just limited to food (food is information for your cells). The digestion aspect challenges you to step out of how you may have thought you ought to eat (or learn) (or live in general).

I have some guides on reading & interpreting your Human Design chart over on my other blog. The Primary Health System: HD Variables post talks particularly about finding your digestion/determination aspect. Or, if the Human Design system is not your thing, I have a SAD Diet Transformation series (to help you get out of patterns of eating that don't bring you joy).

Some of my vegetarian dinners I've made recently. The bread is milk bread, so not vegan. Everything else is vegan, though, lol

Talk about a garden meal! Green beans, cauliflour, carrots, and spinach cooked in one teaspoon of canola oil, mixed with cut fresh chives and put over pasta. It is sprinkled with nutritional yeast. :heart: yummy. If you are new to veganism you must know that nutritional yeast is a staple.

Mon 27th May '24

I'm really proud of myself. I've completed week one of the couch to 5k. Three run/walks. It's a double edged feeling. I'm pleased I've done it, but I can't help going back to what I've achieved in the past, and wondering how I let myself get so unfit and unrunnery.

If someone was telling me they'd completed week one, I'd be all over them, telling them how great it is. Why aren't I treating myself the same way?

Plus points. I went out there. I found it very difficult to talk myself into running in the middle of the day, in broad daylight. I kept putting it off, telling myself that I'd get up in the morning, and do it then, when there was no one about. I'm talking 5.30am. I never did it. I kept chickening out. But there's not a day has gone past since last November when I haven't told myself that I'd go for a run, and it's been the same amount of time since I've managed to do it more than once. I ran once in November, once in February and once some other time. Three runs in six months.

This week, I ran three times. All run/walks, as the C25K prescibes, but three runs in a week, nonetheless. And it was at 10 or 11am, since the early thing wasn't happening.

It was tough and sweaty. I used to "enjoy" tough and sweaty, in that fucked up way that runners do. Not any more. But I didn't want/need to boke, so I'm already ahead of the game.

I also walked on the days that I didn't run, so made sure I left the house and got out into the world. I've been a bit in danger of becoming a recluse, sitting at home, on my ever expanding arse, crocheting, eating shite and watching Judge Judy. I've been eating no shite for a couple of weeks now, making my own sauerkraut, which means I'm getting a great amount of veg, good fibre and all the good bacteria my greedy gut desires. It helps to fill me up. I've eaten too much sugar in the way of grapes and bananas, but even that's a win, coz it's full of fibre and vitamins and minerals, and it's not crisps and Ben & Jerry's. The worst thing I ever did was discover vegan friendly Ben & Jerry's! As I ran today, my favourite tee shirt did not ride up over my belly as much as before, so I think there's a minuscule improvement in flabberosity there! A couple of weeks of no shite, two portions a day of fermented food, and some exercise is already making a difference.

Is it bad that my fave tee is my fave, not only because it's almost big enough to fit comfortably, but because it's my first ever marathon tee? It's my way of showing anyone who cares to look that I've run a marathon, despite what my running looks like now. Such ego!

I'm trying very hard to make this about health, both bodily and mental, rather than weight. I want to enjoy running again. Yes, being lighter will help that, but a generally fit body will do that too, rather than just a light one. I want to smile when I'm running, be glad to see people, instead of worrying about how I look. I know my gait has changed, my posture, my stride. I'm so shuffley now, in comparison to how I was. I need to forget "how I was" and get into how I am now. Things will improve with time, so long as I keep going. Just half an hour a day is enough to make a HUGE differrence, and it won't be long till I can see it in my running. SO KEEP IT UP, YOU RUNNING VEGAN WANKER!

As I run, I'm listening to a book called The Slow AF Run Club, by Martinus Evans. It's helping me a lot. This is a guy who started running way heavier than me. If he can do it, I sure as fuck can too.
