There are probably about 3 blogs out there in cyberspace that are lifeless because of me. Yes, they are the blogs I started and never continued with. One probably doesn't have a single entry.
So, why am I trying this again? It's a new phase of my life and I need to process. I've left full-time missions (and am very happy, thnkuvrymch). I'm desperately needing to get healthy in both mind and body- and seriously, do any of us even know which is more important? They seems so inextricably linked, very Catch 22-ish...
Yep, that's what this is about.
My first step in this blog is to record the process of The Master Cleanse. No, it's not some sort of Jesus mandated fast. It's a detox/cleanse that's been around probably for decades and I came across a helpful website to get me going and which offers community support. I want a fresh start, to get out of my body all the ick that's holding me back. I need to get rid of the mental toxins that keep me from following through or believing I can't do something.
Tomorrow is Ease In Day 1 (of 3). For me that means a vegan diet for the day and lots of healthy food. I've already been preparing myself by cutting down caffeine so I'll have one less horrible side effect during the fast. I'm down to one cup of Green tea in the morning. Starting tomorrow I'll move down to one cup of White tea, finishing off my caffeine cull on Thursday morning when the REAL fasting begins!
Phew. I can do this. I WILL do this.
Brilliant, looking forward to reading this and now off to Google 'master cleanse'! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shirley! The webitte I found is here: http://themastercleanse.org/roadmap/
ReplyDeletethough I admit it's very hard to maneuver around. The best thing to do is download the Roadmap- or I could just email you my copy.
Love this! I am sorry I was AWAL when you started but am glad that now I can read all your posts and catch up! Vegan and gluten free, wow. I know its super healthy if one does it correctly and it sounds like that is your goal. Honestly, if you do this then naturally you will begin to not want caffine or sugar. I would have never believed it until I tried it. Look forward to more!
