One main thing is I absolutely need to take my time and chew my food longer. Since I had half of my saliva gland removed a long time ago and I have so much problems with my tongue ( 4 operations to remove a cyst and the last one where the surgeon injured my nerve, and left half my tongue paralyzed), I have a tendency to always chew a bit and drink water to help me swallow. Well, guess what, it shows in your colon. I had undegisted food in there. That is what caused a lot of gas and so the first session was good but the next one will be better. The uncomfort comes from the gas trapped in there. I am going back next week.
On other front ( pun intended), I always talked myself in starting to run once I would reach the 225 mark. I am now at 235 but yesterday I had to run to hurry up to put my neighbor's recycling out as the truck was coming, I ran more then 1 minute and I wasn't out of breath, I wasn't in pain. All was well. That scared the hell out of me. Everytime I ran in the past, I always ended up with an injury. I am doing some soul searching. Because I really want to run, I love the feeling, I love the exhiliration, I love the accomplishment. I see people run all the time here and mostly in Ottawa and I always feel the urge to do the same. So the time is coming. I will wait for the Gagou to start school, 40 days. I will be closer to 225 and ready mentally.
I continue to experiment with raw recipes. Some are amazing, some I don't like too much. I am having a hard time getting use to the taste of sprouted sunflower or sprouted alfalfa. I guess it will be an acquired taste. But I absolutely love all the falafel version I tried, I have made amazing
orange-almond-carrot cookies. My lovey loves them to. And I can't go without my coconut-banana "yogurt".
All is well here, the motivation is amazing. My biggest test will be next week when we leave for vacation in PEI with the girls. But I am bringing my juicer. :)

Not only you who chew bit and then drink water to swallow it. Generally people do it to finish the food fast. But why they don’t understand that it raises the possibility of the very common problem indigestion and gas that annoys you till last day of your life.
