Breakfast - On the run, but was able to eat an apple, an INCREDIBLE nut mix (much like my friends..HA!) with golden raisins, and mid-morning snack was... wait for it... mindless prune munching. Baaaaaadd thing to do. Especially at my other office with a few more women that use the restroom.
Lunch was terrific... black eyed peas with fresh vegetables, garlic, and turmeric. Very light, but warming at the sametime. The rest of my apple from lunch.
Hot herbal and fruit teas throughout the day.
So... I wasn't going to talk about the "personal" stuff, and I still won't, but as most folks know, the more you up your natural fiber/fresh veg & fruits/water intake, the more you will experience faster "outtakes"... And more of them. I guess Day 4 is when it really starts happening. When there is nothing artificial in the food, there is nothing artificial in your body, and believe me, your body knows it. You just start feeling cleaner. And all the natural fiber that the earth provides us is PLENTY to care for our systems!
There is no reason to do anything extreme or elaborate if you want to feel clean. Start with what you put into your body before you worry about what you want out of it. Nature will happen. I get so frustrated with all the diet garbage out there... the pills, the special meals, the high-cost programs. I'm not saying that they are ALL bad, but how many times do we look at things like that before we just look at ourselves and decide if we are doing everything we CAN do naturally first?
Hot Yoga class was tonight, and I was more balanced than I have been in a long time. It was hot, it was tough, and it made my heart and blood pump. Then, it was soothing and very releasing. (fortunately, nothing "released" while I was in there..HA!) Technically, you don't want to eat for about 2 hours before a class. If you do, your body is working on breaking down that food and it definitely drains the energy from you and can make you feel dizzy or ill in the hot room. So, I missed dinner. That's not good, but frankly, I really don't think I could get much down now, and at 9:30pm, don't think I WANT to before bed.
My usual snack is a bowl of cereal, while lying in bed, in front of the TV. I'm pathetic.
Not tonight... I miss you, cereal. I miss you big box of Wheat Thins and container of store-bought hummus.
26 more days to go. Sweet!!! The PLAN is good, and I showed up once again to where I needed to be today.
