Slowly beginning to rebuild my healthy eating & living road, one building block at a time. The cleanse is helping as is the never-ending support from all of you! I'm hoping to learn from the experience as I try to think back about the week away and what I could have done to better stay my course while away family reunioning. More on that as I think through it!
I have tennis outside this morning, hopefully before the heat & humidity we're having here in the northeast gets too tough, then more catching up on the housework & bookkeeping.
But, before I hit the heat, I'll pray --
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
And I'll continue to pray, breathe, journal & express throughout this one day and each one cleansing drink, moment and emotion. xoxoxo

Yep, I just said to Keld, one foot in front of the other. It's good to be back in the routine. And for you the cleanse helps you get the sugar out of your system, and back on track. Enjoy your tennis, yes it is hot and sticky so good to get it in before it gets too hot. Nice to have you back here at the regular time too. I missed our morning chats :)

Thanks Is, the cleanse is working & I'm feeling stronger with each step... Of course it also helps knowing you're stepping right with me! Heather, I'm lucky to have 2 vegan/raw food restaurants in town that do cleanses. Each day I pick up by bag of goodies made up of juices, smoothies, soup and/or chia seed pudding -- 6 in total, averaging 1000-1500 calories/day. So, they arent that low in calorie but all freshly made, organic, vegan & free of gluten, dairy and sugar (my nemesis). Because they are not that low in calorie, they say you can do them as often as you'd like, but I try to keep it to no more than every season, although I've gotten used to using than as a re-set when I've gone off track. While they really help me, I just don't want to need to do them too much, but they also make it easy to not have to think about, buy or prepare my meals for the duration of the cleanse. Have you ever tried one?

Darn, Bren took my comment. I was about to write all I need for a cleanse is a huge fresh squash casserole. But I do 'feel' and respect that a part of the cleanse process for you is the emotional as if to wipe the slate clean to begin again. That may or may not be the motivation for you, it was just how I felt when I did them in the past. The latest time I tried a cleanse, not necessarily so - LOL - I didn't even read in the instructions, haha. I'm interested in your analysis of 'what to do better' and love that you are looking at it that way - very positive.

Wonderful, how many days is that, 6? Mine is a 3 day (I'm on day 2) 4 quart diluted orange-grapefruit-lemon juice cleanse. I do the same as you. It helps me get back on track. Bren and Bella, you're funny.

I'm planning to do 4 days of cleansing unless I feel the need to add on the 5th. You are right, Angel, that it is mentally as well as physically cleansing for me. I know I ate in response to the stress I was feeling about the trip, the party, family issues that I somehow became the peace maker of, etc. But what I can't figure out is why I didn't use the strategies that have worked so well recently like journaling, breathing, distraction, etc. Even though I did take time for myself most days, I was still rushed quite a bit & overwhelmed at times by it all. While there won't be a next time, anytime soon, I now know how much more prepared I need to be to take care of me. Thanks again my amazing FS friends for your support & love throughout my journey even when I take a detour along the way! Xoxox

I guess what's also important is post cleanse. I'm on my 3rd day today and plan raw fruit and veggies for the fourth and fifth days (or days after detox)' plus veggie juice. I just finished an amazing book called the Thrive diet. Will have to try some of the recipes from there.
