Well I was supposed to post this last night but I was out of my mind and had to walk away. So ya here goes better late than never.Ok well since this whole cleanse thing was my brilliant idea I suppose I should write something. At this point I feel like shit so bear with me. Along with that this is my first blog so you are forewarned. My body is detoxing and I am not a writer. Anyway so my LP (life partner) and I are always coming up with random things we want to try out. I don’t normally think the idea’s through, but hey what you can do. My LP on the other hand tends to think about all the (what if’s) unless, like in this case, she is in denial that we are even going to attempt the latest idea. This whole cleanse thing started because I am sick of feeling like shit!!! I quit smoking almost a year ago. It will be a year August 9th, yaaaaaaaaaa me!!! Well in the midst of quitting smoking I gained wait ya ya I know this is normal and tends to happen, but I am over it and If I gain one more pound I may lose my frigin mind. My vanity is starting to rear its ugly head and I need to nip this fat thing in the bud. Also I just feel like crap most of the time and I know I should not, I am only 31. Along with that I don’t sleep well, and tend to flood my blood stream with as much coffee and sugar that I can first thing in the morning. I tend to quit the coffee thing about noon and hit a low about 2 or 3 in the afternoon and dose up with some more sugar. I am a sugar addict!!! I could eat cake for breakfast, pie for lunch and ice cream for dinner and have a couple cookies for snacks in between. This is horrible for me I know; which Is why really I am not shocked that I have now gained 20 lbs and feel like crap 98% of the time. Ok so there was a time where I felt good, looked good, and was just all around healthy. I have learned that my body operates best on a vegan diet. I have gone back and forth from vegan, vegetarian, and the I don’t give a shit what I eat diet for many years. I have been telling myself that I will start eating the way my body wants me to soon.Well as most of us know that will always happen tomorrow and then tomorrow again and so forth. Well I am finally taking the plunge and I am draggin my LP with me because that just makes it more fun, gotta have someone in the trenches with ya and well that’s why we are LP’s because we follow the other through the trenches even when we don’t want to. The cleanse we are doing is the one by Kathy Freston it’s her book called The Quantum Wellness Cleanse. The main jist is you cut out caffeine, sugar, gluten, animal products, and alcohol. So ya, there ya have it the makings for a crazy person. I no longer have any vices and I will now be officially faced with having to stare down my demons. At the moment the sugar demon is putting up a good fight. I have had to tell it no and put it in its place more times than I can remember today. I have a screaming headache and have had it since about noon. I feel foggy and sort of out of my body, I have no patience for jack, exhaustion never left me this morning and yes I would love some cheese with my wine BECAUSE I CAN’T HAVE EITHER RIGHT NOW!!! Ok done bitchin I know I did this to myself so I am going to go escape into some black dagger brotherhood (a great book series of hot vampire warriors with smoldering sex scenes) and hope I don’t wake up with a head ache.
Cross your fingers,
Myra
