It's more difficult than I thought staying off the COMPUTER!
But I'm going to make it work because during the time I've managed to stay off of it, I've gotten so much done and feel peaceful.
Anyway, while I'm on here I might as well journal a little bit.
So today was GREAT. The sun was shining, warm temps and I made the most amazing grapefruit smoothie. I used the leftover refrigerated pulp from a grapefruit I squeezed yesterday. I put some ice cubes, water, pulp, cacao, maca, coconut oil in a blender and oh Wow, it was out of this world. So good. Just had to write that one down so I didn't forget it. And I apologize for perhaps torturing some of you. You probably will ban yourself from reading my journal from now on. haha. I love juicing because you can get super creative and the end result is often mind blowingly delicious. I was moaning while I drank this smoothie - again it was good. Just from experimenting with ingredients. The beauty of raw foods ~ yum.
Tomorrow I will pick up my supplies for the big Day 1. At this point I'm not putting any parameters around my cleanse. I will start when it starts and end when it ends. I may or may not do 30 days, but I do feel like I could go for an extended cleanse just based on how I've been eating the past few weeks and wanting to drink a lot of fluids. I'm also in a much different space this time around. I think I've completed 6 or 7 MC's during the past 3 years or so...2 years? I've lost track. My point is what's different is I really am doing this for the cleansing of my organs (colon, kidneys, pancreas, gall bladder, blood, lungs etc) whereas before, although you see me commenting on here a lot. I was also cleansing for weight loss.
I gotta tell the TRUTH! Lol. hahaa. But seriously, I was also doing the MC for health reasons too, but I'd be lying if I didn't also say it was about losing extra fat stores and dead cells. I didn't obsess over it, but hey it was in the back of my mind. BUT. Again. This time I feel it deeply, in the core of my being to use this cleanse to catapult me to my next goals of remaining raw and enjoying a more simple raw foods diet. I'm FEELING IT. In a great big way.
So I write this to come clean and also to share that I know most of us are wanting to be healthy and this may mean different things to all of us. And we may travel along different paths to get to this special destination, however we personally define it. The most important thing is to remain true to yourself, listen to your body and simply welcome each and everything you experience as a blessing. Yes, including the good, bad & ugly. I think the further you drop sometimes, gives you an opportunity to bounce even higher. In other words, the more you experience, the more you know and become self-aware. Like many folks out there, I'm very proud of myself that I've overcome a lot of challenges with my health and my life. I think I rock in terms of where I am with my life right now and I'm not the least shy about shouting this to the world. However, I'm still humble and I've learned that there's always an opportunity to learn and grow regardless. I look forward to what lies ahead. Woot!
HAPPY CLEANSING ALL! And yeah, I'm going to start this media fasting Right Now. Alright, peace & best wishes. See you next week or the week after.
