And on the fifth day, there were more vegetables...

and he saw them, and they were good. Today was another good day in the dietary experiment. I think this is a sustainable lifestyle based on what I've experienced so far. I can honestly say that meat has not even tempted me, despite walking by counters full of fresh cuts while doing grocery shopping this evening.

Today I've noticed that I'm feeling kind of nasty, but I believe this to be a product of cleansing of toxins due to my practice of chi kung sped up by not consuming additional animal toxins. I don't feel any lack of nutrients since my body is quite good about telling me what it needs and I am good at listening to it. It definitely feels like the deep-seated "gunk" is being flushed out. It seems like a little breakthrough! I'm very excited about that.

I'd like to express my deep gratitude to my Sifu for transmitting the skills I needed to successfully practice Shaolin Cosmos Chu Kung. The Shaolin arts are, from my very limited experience, quite amazing. There's so much more to it than you see in the movies - it's not just Matrix-style Kung Fu. Traditional Shaolin arts cultivate the body, mind, and spirit.

Love and blessings,
Charles
