Happy B-day Team Life Member!




Happy b-day my friend
thank you for belonging 
to the same team

A team that is not 
based on differences
but in who we are as beings

Team Life 
is that one team
where all belong together

We sing the same song
of equality 
we blog and vlog
not for money

But for oneness and equality

You supported me in many ways
your patience and cross-reference
is appreciated

In gratitude
to the dust of the earth
I thank you for being here

This is my greeting for this day
that is our moment by moment walking
as a member of
this one team 

You may look different
with a different colored skin
or you may look the same 
with the same color of skin

but I can relate to who you are
as who I am is here

The path is thorny
but we remain
self-forgiving
cross-referencing 
always correcting ourselves

Sometimes we have fun chatting
sometimes we have 
different perspectives
but i am grateful to the dust 
of the earth

For equally sharing
life in so many ways

Realizing and Living My Utmost Potential 5 Redesigning The Cake

21 Days Mind Investigation on Sugar
Physical  Support
Awareness of How Much Sugar We Take: The Sugar Log Project



I have known the cake to be a source of pleasure since I was a child. We had birthday cakes, graduation cakes etc.We have native cakes like purple yam cake, rice cakes etc. Recently, after my sugar investigation, I realized that cake is food and food is here to nourish the body - it is NOT here to satisfy mt craving for pleasure when I am bored or sad. 

I realized that the body has to agree with what I eat. When the mind directs my behavior, it leads to consequence outflow - disease. An example of this would be - diabetes, cancer, hypertension, stress etc because the mind works with 'good and bad, right or wrong, and positive or negative' . Acting out thought patterns based on my psychological craving for pleasure which is fueled by my fear of boredom will be directing me to eat, rather than be in physical reality behaving sensibly when eating and physically enjoying the food - its taste, smell etc.

Rather than put so much sugar in the cake, what is sensible for me is to add food items and the amount of meat etc. that i know assist my body. I can cross-reference by looking at my weight, my blood sugar etc.

The Next Day Reading After I ate 1 slice of this meat cake
Fasting Blood Glucose Reading


I can see that it is not spiking my blood sugar level where it disturbs homeostasis in the body - creating chaos within my body. I play with the taste that will get the cake to the stomach to be processed so the nutrition can be distibuted to the cells realizing meat has its own nutrition:
Pork: B6, B12, C, D, Phosphorous, Potassium, Zinc etc.
Pork

Beef: B1 Thiamin, B2 Riboflavin, B3 Niacin, B6, B9 Folate, B12, Choline, D, E, K, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium etc.
Beef

Here's how i redesigned the cake,
http://junejourneytolife.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-pancake-that-turned-into-meat-cake.html
 I put some meat on top of the cake for protein. 
This will still 'evolve', so stay tuned.

I saw that when I eat meat with other food stuff in the' right' portion (which I tested), it helps in stabilizing my blood glucose. What is also affecting the blood sugar is the mind - stress can spike the blood sugar.

The batter was made of almond flour and eggs. I topped it with uncooked ground pork seasoned with a pinch of salt and onions. I baked it in the oven, then piped some mayonnaise and tabasco sauce on top (optional). I had some cherries at that time so I put 4 cherries on top. 

Our body needs nutrition yet what is happening is that we are eating for the sake of satisfying our desire for 'sweets' - for 'pleasure' or to entertain our taste buds with different taste sensations which we connected to our past experience of the food item we are eating in the present.

. Let's not choose what to eat because of fear (fear of boredom, fear of getting fat, fear of dis-ease and death).

Let's prepare our food to align to what food really is - a substance that nourish the body.
Let's align eating to what will assist the body to function optimally and not based on our ideas of what tasty food is in our mind.

Self-forgiveness for Mental Health: Food: Cake


FACEBOOK SUGAR LOG PROJECT :

SUGAR DEFINED 


What is Self-forgiveness?
It is the process by which an individual forgives oneself for accepting and allowing self to separate from objective reality, releasing positive and negative value judgments such as good or bad, right or wrong, positive or negative - as subjective interpretations of reality regarding something or someone that leads to stability as breath. 

Forgiving Myself In Writing:

Self-forgiveness for Judging the Black Forest Cake as Inferior in Quality:

Thought:
'The cream icing in that cake is soft therefore poor in quality.'

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to judge the black forest cake that i saw in Facebook as poorly made believing that because the cream is soft and not firm it is inferior in quality than other black forest cakes instead of seeing and realizing that the food items in it come from plants, animals and the earth and they are here supporting our body to get the nutrition it needs, so it is best to be aware of how the nutrition in our food can support the body's survival.

I commit to when and as i see myself judging the look of the cake - i stop and remind myself to not judge it from a subjective view of reality within bias - comparing it to another and judging which one is better looking but rather see the cake for what it is, as food, and use it as such.

From the Word Web:
Cake:
A sweet baked food made from (or based on) a mixture of flour, sugar, eggs, and fat

Food
Any solid substance (as opposed to liquid) that is used as a source of nourishment



I, for a moment was not aware of: the following:

1. The flour came from the earth, and it's being nourished by the earth
2. The cream came from the cow, and its body is being nourished by plants, who in turn is being nourished by the earth
3. The chocolate came from the cacao plant which comes from the earth
4. The sugar came from the sugar cane plant which came from the earth
5. The rum came from the sugar cane which comes from the earth
6. The cherries came from the cherry tree that comes from the earth
5. How much of every ingredient i can eat that will not create a sharp increase or decrease in my blood sugar leading to physical stress and disease.

Self-forgiveness for Unawareness

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to be unaware of what the ingredients are of the cake and how much of each is in the cake, where the ingredients come from and how it affects the body's blood sugar where i eat because i like the taste of food rather than eat in awareness and from the starting point of eating to provide nutrition for the body for optimum survival.

Rewriting My Life:
From Commitments to Self-Correction

I commit myself to when and as i see myself eating in unawareness - i stop - i breathe and make myself aware of what i eat and what's in it.

I commit to educate myself about the ingredients of food i eat so i can look at nutrition present in the food

I commit myself to look at how much of the food item i eat - i can eat, without raising or lowering my blood sugar to a point where it creates

I commit myself to pave the way to make food available to all through assisting in creating a world where survival is guaranteed for all by supporting organizations that is committed to make this a reality.
