A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye… and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries
Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body’s cells. Today’s research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
Clearly I did not write this peice but thought it was very interesting so I am putting it here. You would know I wrote it if it had:
“cake” looks like a celebration must eat.

…at least it does for me. Work has been busy, but tomorrow is the end of peak and that excuse (cause it is an excuse will be over). Today is Sunday and I am in my workout gear with time to kill but am waiting to go into work.
I realize that the days that I have something planned, like work today, or a social engagement in the evening I don’t get as much done for myself. My workouts, my housework, my yardwork. Even in the time I am waiting to go I don’t get much else done.
Realizing and changing the behavior’s are very different. The weekends I get the most done are the very few that I have to myself. Where I don’t have to work and my social circle has other plans and on those days I get right into taking care of my things. Getting laundry going WHILE workingout THEN cleaning house, gardening AND running errands. Weekends like this I sit waiting for the ‘committed event’ to arrive. You must realize that I have been sitting, in my workout clothes, for several hours, just waiting to go to work so I can come back and work out. Um, I could have been done already.
I like Char’s goals for the week, to plagiarize them here:
Track.
Exercise at least four times.
Grocery shop and plan meals for the week.
Eat healthy dinners at home at least 5 times this week.
Keep blogging.
Keep connecting with myself.
I didn’t loose the 2 pounds last week, but like I said peak is over and I will have more time this week so heres to another try.

Even with missing a week straight of exercise, minus a few long walks over the weekend I am actually feeling like I turned the corner because I am missing it.
I ate too much last night at my sisters for dinner. But other then that I have done well with food lately.
This weeks goal is to track my food, eat less then I use, get back on track with working out in the mornings and lose 2 pounds along with Char’s 2 pounds!!!

It doesn’t matter how many times you fall, as long as you get back up.
Failure only happens when you stop trying.
Well a week of vacation only derailed me for a moment. Back at the tracking of food at fitday.com and back in my little handy home made gym.
I also bought a new scale, digital that weighs in tenths, oh and has a scarrrrrry body fat measurement. Scary only cause I’m like 40% fat. If you take out the weight of my skeleton that leaves nothing left for a brain or any organs.

Sort of.
Today was the first day to add some running into my routine.
I went with the diagram on the treadmill that shows laps (4 equaling a mile)
I walked the first eighth then ran the next eighth, about three strides in I realized I needed a better sports bra, or hell any bra I was just wearing a tank shell with a bra-let inside. So holding my boobs pressed still against me I ran like the third length of the lap as well. Not the best form so I walked the rest.
I didn’t do much else today, I was excited to get the running started and realized I’ve got a long way to go to hit 13 miles.
