My boss and her family (who also work with me) are listening to the sweet, sweet sounds of Tony Robbins’ voice on tape.  Er, sorry, CD.  I’m so old school.  Someone gave them a copy of one of his seminar lectures on health and wellness and nourishing the body through eating (or not eating, as the case may be).  They listen to it on the way to and from work every day, and possibly on lunch.  I don’t have every detail since we don’t carpool or anything.  I think perhaps it may be an alkaline diet because they mentioned getting some Ph strips, but I’m not certain.  I’m lucky enough that my boss shares with me some of the interesting things Mr. Robbins says on diet and health.  Some of it I’m not so sure about, such as discouraging people from eating apples due to the way it breaks down its sugars in the body but encouraging eating watermelon because it’s mostly water (I’m no expert but I always thought that bananas and watermelon have a higher glycemic index), and some of it sounds pretty good (like eliminating soda from the diet due to it’s acidic nature) if you’re interested in that type of thing.  I get the impression that Mr. Robbins may be a supporter, if not a full fledged member of the raw food movement based on the limited amounts of info that I hear second hand from this CD set.   I love the idea of raw food, but I believe that I may have learned my lesson with the whole vegan lifestyle experiment.  Drastic eating changes are VERY difficult to maintain long term, and require careful planning to be implemented well.  Plus, I’m not 100% convinced that I didn’t wreck myself completely with my poor dietary planning in that time, which just so happened to coordinate with the onset of my insidious and mysterious health problems, coincidentally.  Que eerie music.

All that aside, you know it’s always somehow all about me.  One of the great things about Mr. Robbins on CD is that part of the whole lifetstyle plan he’s pedaling includes the infamous POND WATER!!!  YES!!  So now I’m not the only wackadoo drinking the green stuff at my office.  I actually brought a dry scoop full of the greens in a plastic baggie for my boss to try one day.  Listening to her recounting how difficult it was to get it down was enough to make me roar with laughter to the point of crying.  I really wish I could have been there.

I guess I should probably keep that to myself, huh?  Not the nicest trait, laughing at someone’s suffering and then wishing I could’ve laughed right at them in real time instead of after the fact.  I admit, I probably would’ve pointed, too.

***Note to self, make thyself look better in blog.***

Well, at least I’m generous, right?  I mean, I handed over one whole day’s worth of my health in that little baggie!  And apparently it made her gag.  Nice.

So I was thinking maybe I should get us some jackets, like the Pink Ladies, but in green.  The Pond Girls.  Way too cool for school.
