50 Is The New 70

Went to my weekly appointment with Dr. Li Liu and she had my official results from the age test.  Recall, my age at the beginning of this was 70.  According to the test, most bodies will carry us, on average, until age 86.  So, I had 16 years left...

After 6 weeks of eating raw, drinking only Kangen water, and working on the inside with journaling and meditating, etc, my new age is 50!  I am very happy with that.  Dr. Li Liu was surprised it had improved that much in six weeks.  I failed to mention to her that I was a rockstar.

I asked her if it was possible to be younger than your actual age.  She said yes.  Challenge accepted.

Funny story.  My sister told me I could eat what I read as Cocoa Nibs.  Sounds yummy, right?  I found them on Amazon and did Subscribe and Save because I was going to eat lots of these yummy things.  My Subscribe and Save items come at the end of the month.  While I was resting, I heard the FedEx truck.  I was so excited.  Along with diapers, wipes, paper towels, etc, I knew my nibs were waiting for me.  I could taste the chocolate goodness while journaling.  I came downstairs and immediately opened the boxes.  Found the nibs, opened them up, put some in my mouth, and almost gagged.  I should have known better, right?  If it was as yummy as I was imagining, then I can't have it.  I looked closely at the package......

  A slight transposing of two letters, but a big difference in taste.  It is pronounced  kuh-kah-oh.  We tried melting it in almond butter.  I ate it with almonds.  We spent 15 minutes looking for recipes.  Most recipes called for honey or some type of sugar.  We really tried to find a way to make this taste good and give me a treat.  We finally waved the white flag.  We tried.  

My friend asked me what my treat was while talking about my diet.  My answer?  "Holding my first grandchild."  I have to remember things like this when I get frustrated about food.  

Aren't they beautiful?

I did receive some very delicious salmon from a friend.  AP, you are awesome!  Salmon is a treat for me so thank you.  I don't get to eat cocoa or cocao, but the salmon is close runner up.  Aren't they beautiful?  The color is superior to the salmon I had from Costco.  They came in dry ice and were addressed to Fancer Ford.  Isn't that wonderful?
