Leg Life !
Xo xo , current state , post surgery , rehab .. one week now, since my left hip surgery , feeling great , yes there is pain and you cant walk without crutches .. yet .. but the pain is from the surgery and not from within your bones as the one you have been struggling with the last 20 years ..so there is exercises , golden milk , fruit , oats . veggies and chocolate .. because life needs something naughty ..
but it is extremely important to engage in some serious thinking when we go for our grocery shopping , in order to buy real, natural , whole foods that has gone through little or no processing .. sounds easy , yes maybe if you where a cavemen and did your hunting ..also very important , if they couldnt hunt or gather it they didnt eat it ....!!
NO
processed foods , refined sugar , refined carbs , legumes , dairy , grains & vegetable oils
prioritize organic , grass - fed meats , free - range eggs and wild - caught seafood ....throw in some nuts , organic fruit and veggies plus coffe or a nice cup of tea maybe with fresh baked bread made of the right flour.
my personal plates starts like this most of the time and then I start to build .. with whatever is found in the fridge and cupboards and my day starts with 2 glasses of lemonwater and finish with a piece of dark chocolate !
and then there are crazy craving days .. when you could die for a burger or pizza , well as I say if its not happening every moment every day its kind of ok ...
nobody is perfect thanks god .. well it wouldnt be funny at all to be miss Perfect ...
Here at the moment it burns down to , leg exercises and good powerful thinking , healing and some laughs , it takes me some turns to , lets say fix a mug of coffe and bring it to where I want to sit , but then of course it is good for me to try to walk more and more , but really 4-5 turns up and down for a cup of coffe ...it gives you a good laugh !
Daughter is leaving for Athens on Saturday , she will do kitchen internship at a restaurant there, for a whole month , nice for her and daddy cool to see each other .. more than a quick trip !
so since left alone with my left foot , I will be popping over to the island for Easter and some rehab over there , meet some old friends and whatever cultural things is on the agenda at Gotland , yes it will be nice , though from the beginning I had in mind to go to my other big love island Myconos for Easter , but with all this things , going on , there where a change of plans ...
So slowly trying to get there , healthy , happy and whole , thanks god I have a pile of books and some recipes to test out , I had a little walk in the garden yesterday .. try , try ..
well even if it is difficult to move , I am fully optimistic and caffeine is my hero it helps me focus , it helps me work and learn & socialize ...
finally I feel that everything will be so much more fun , without my painkillers in order to do most basic things , easier to work , dance and be more mad , honestly I need the madness so that the world can make more sense .....
eat your fruit .....
be well , smile and love !!
Do your soul work !
Meditate ... feel more free !
Take a walk ... I will in a short while take a walk to my migrant shop , around the corner , with a little help from my friends " the crutches " and check out what kind of almonds he has to offer !!
while writing this post I have been listening to
