I don't care what anyone says this always works for me and it happened again!!! I decided to choose to be alright. After contemplating how I was feeling and what I was feeling and why I was feeling what I felt I am fine now. I didn't get my period so it wasn't hormonal. I hate getting that moody. It is not productive. I love myself and I love life. Why did I freak out and stay in that darkness so long? I stayed clear of my coworker and I'm just going to finish what I already planned. I wanted to stop executing my plans for the party. I consulted with everyone I could before I did anything. The memory book was not my idea but I really like it.

I went to Nature's Choice last night and it is alright. They had an extensive variety of the organic chocolate I like to buy. They were completely out of coconut flour. I did purchase some almond butter and refined sea salt since I'm out of salt anyway and this is better. I've completely conquered the soda thing. I can't drink it at all. I ate a cheeseburger and fries from A & W last night. I also bought that crocodile pastry thing with lots of whipped cream from Macey's. I also got some candied macadamia nuts. They had almonds but I wanted roasted/salted and they had raw, tamari-flavored and cinnamon. Their Asian food prices are ridiculous. Nori for 4.89. Sauces were just as expensive. NOOO! NOT buying that there. I need to hit up the Asian Markets when I go to Salt Lake next week.

I know people hate it when I consider race BUT I don't have the luxury of not considering it. With the latest idiot University of Utah nurse who posted death to all Tongans on his Facebook page, it made me think of my friend Anapesi who ALWAYS has so much to say. I never agree with everything she says but this was so sad to me. She helped to start a charter school in Salt Lake specifically for Polynesian and minority children. The high school dropout rate for Pacific Islanders is awful. She wanted to do this to help that. They teach Tongan, Samoan and Spanish languages at Mana Academy. KSL did a story about this.

Since the airing of the KSL story about #ManaAcademy we have received so much wonderful feedback and support. Unfortunately, we have received hate mail also, but that's expected anytime something great is being developed. The hate is never ending and not surprising ... such as the "go back to where you came from", "pacific islanders are violent freaks who don't deserve an education", "why can't you all just play football and shut up" and my favorite "Utah was founded by Pioneers, so why do you hate pioneers?" ... Ummm WTH? LOL!

In other words, the same tired racists responses. If you are going to hate, at least be creative (and use spell check)! Ha! Only in Utah can palangis be 88% of the state population and feel threatened by the brilliance of Pacific Islanders, who make up 0.7% of our state population! #ThatsRight #WeWin 

I love what she posted. That's why I did too so someone can see it is alive and well. It's easy to ignore something if you don't deal with it. 

I didn't want to eat badly again today so I swung by Walmart before work today and bought boiled eggs, celery, coconut oil, mixed nuts and cottage cheese. This will tide me over until lunch when I will get some spinach, romaine lettuce and I think I'm going to buy some ground beef too. I need additional protein sources. I also need to go to Smith's and buy my D'lite Probiotic chocolate AND some real roasted salted almonds. When I eat well I can't eat much junk food or I feel sick. It's amazing how quickly our body adopts to crap too. I haven't been eating well in over a week but I don't feel sick anymore when I do. I'm putting myself on my own 30-day plan starting today. That yucky meal I had last night also drained my energy and I slept soundly until 6:30. No Zumba BUT I am eating well today no matter what.
