Last week I
watched some amazing videos on youtube! There is a company called INVISIBLE SHOES which sells huarache sandals and kits for making your
own ones.
Unfortunately, I didn’t watch their videos before making my own sandals and
ended up placing the ankle holes too near to the heel because that’s what some
of the videos suggested.
If you are interested in barefoot running, then do definitely give it a try
after watching the invisibleshoes.com videos,- they are amazing!
The company
AND the sandals :-)
In Germany I found a good company
which does also make vegan sandals,- check them out here: NAKED SHOES
I used a piece of carpet, two buttons and a shoelace for making mine. Jeff
Sekerak suggests to use buttons, which is a great idea because it keeps the
laces in place.
The running itself felt great at the beginning but then the sandals started
slipping off and my feet were feeling quite sore because the carpet got worn
out really fast.
I made this video after the first hour of running and then went for more.
At the end,
one of my feet was so sore, I had to take the sandals off and walk home
barefoot.
It was a
great feeling to run almost barefoot and I’m definitely going to do it again,
as soon as I find the perfect shoes for myself.
At the moment I’m thinking about either buying some
huarache sandals or making some myself, this time out of a stronger material.
This is what the sole of my sandals looked like after running with them for 2
hours. I don’t think I’m going to use these ones again. Back home, I had some melons
first, followed by an ice cream treat which I made out of frozen mangoes and
served with some delicious white grapes on top. Cheers!
Last Saturday I spent the first half of the day in the
health food store, making and offering some delicious banana ice cream with my
mixer. The shopkeeper was very helpful,- he even offered to peel all 10 pounds
of bananas for me on Friday night!
Everybody loved
that ice-cream, including the little ones, who kept coming back for more.
One lady told me that being a raw vegan is a dangerous
thing “because you hardly eat anything at all and get skinny”. I replied by
saying “You have to know how to do it in order to be successful on this
lifestyle”,- and she agreed with that before adding the classic line “but
bananas make you fat!” :-)
Do you know any fat fruit lovers? The problem is that
most people finish their fatty lunch with a fruity desert, deciding it was the
fruit that made them fat in the first place.
The question
here is,- can anything make you fat if you take full responsibility for your
actions and start living by choice?
You can eat as
much fruit as you like but make sure to eat it on an empty stomach because it
goes through fast. If you eat it after a heavy first course, then your lovely
fruit will just sit on top of that meal and rot.
On Saturday,
everybody received a free banana-ice-cream recipe from me. You’ll get one too:
after blending two bananas in your mixer, add 7 frozen
ones and blend them up together. You can add a tiny bit of orange zest to your
mixture and serve it with dates. Enjoy!
