Day 2 of cleanse

OK so I admit I was soooooo hungry yesterday! I had a handfull of chips! But they were the natural kind with sea salt.

Other than that I didn't eat anything else and just hydrated with the cayenne maple and lemon juice.

Mentally I feel very settling. My mind doesn't feel so static and it just feels like a process of taking it one day at a time.

the food cravings are nuts though.
Yesterday I just craving ice cream, fries, salads, brownies, everything. And then I really had to think about it and reflect that stuff is just gluttony. I really love indulging in food at no cost.

I'm surprised though that I haven't had a headache from hunger or anything like that. My body isn't hungy its just my mind. Which is so interesting to think about. The mind is such a powerful thing.

My Aunt Kathy just sent me pictures. She's always in a sentimental mood and I love it. I like that she likes to bring back all the good times from the past.

This is one of my favorites songs. It just randomly played on my itunes.....

Cleansing

So I finally decided to do the Master Cleanse.
I've been debating about it for a long time. I'm not opposed to self cleansing and healthier eating.
But for a while the thought of just drinking liquids is so freaking scary!
But someone advised me to really research it before I do it. And so I did someone online research and go the book at whole foods.
Its some good stuff.
It's both healthy and spiritual. I figure that it will be a challenge but my mind and body needs some clarity. Especially since I've been in such a terrible mood for the last week.
So here's my day 1
Last night I started the first step: Laxative.....
You have to take it over night so when you wake up......yeah I'll leave it to that

The next thing is the sea salt water. You have to drink this before you begin with the maple syrup lemon juice.

So since LA has really bad water, I just boiled it and I'm letting it cool off and I just added my 2 teaspoons of salt.

I'm feeling pretty good about doing this.

This journey

This week was filled with so many ups and downs. I opened up a whole can of worms that I wasn't prepared to.

My NYC trip was amazing and well needed. But it's hard to ignore the negative energy that was bounced my way.

I can't help but to be hurt by the fact that my relationship with my family will never be the same.

I have mixed feelings about it all. But like a teacher of mine always said "this too shall pass" and this I know.

On another note....

In the Heights was AMAZING! my GoD!! It was so amazing and it really made me miss NYC sososo much. Of course it made me reflect on my life and what I'm doing with it.

It anything it def got me inspired and reminded me to appreciate this journey.

I'm loving it!
