Day 1 of 10

Day 1 --
Recently, I have felt really uncomfortable in my body. I have wanted to get back in shape, start eating healthy, and recently I felt the antsy need-for-change anxiety I get about every six - eight months. So in response to my body and unfocused mind, I decided to do a whole body cleanse in the form of a 10 day fast. The fast is accompanied by a lemonade mixture (lemonade, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper) and salt water flush each evening.

I am taking the next ten days to focus on myself, my body, and my mind. I have set time aside to meditate, spend time alone, and spend quality time with Kaili. I know that it is time for me to focus and get back in health - in a lot of ways!


Soo... why blog? Well, I've read writing the foods down that you are craving helps get rid of the craving! But besides that, I think it is important to share the details of the fast - many of you plan to do it :) and I think I can prepare you for the worst - and best - through my experiences. Plus, if I need motivation - this is probably a good place to go!

Day 1 -

Last night, as instructed, I drank my organic laxative tea. Ouch! I've taken it before but it never fails to give me cramps and I suppose the desired result! It takes about 8 hours to work, so I take it right before bed so I can get some sleep! I learned the hard way, if you take it too early it definitely works earlier.
This morning, I took meditation time at the beach. Truly incredible. And now I am working on drinking my first lemonade of the morning. More later...

Cheers to day 1!
