Being down 4lbs is enough motivation for me to keep trucking! I'm doing more than releasing pounds though. I'm gaining respect for fruits+veges. They bring such aliveness & wellness with them. I'd forgotten how important they are. It's easy to forget that in our fast food filled world. I'm also mindfully eating...as in being present during meals. Normally, I scarf! I'm Tasmanian Devil style on my food. One minute it's there and then poof, it's gone! I don't think I was really tasting my food and I definitely wasn't chewing it as much as I should (my poor digestive system!). Today is my first deep cleanse day. I was nervous going into it, but knew I would be able to do it because I'd made my mind up before I started this journey. I took the natural accelerator with the cleanse for life berry drink and soon after my stomach felt funny and then my face, chest and arms got incredibly hot. I ran to the nearest mirror and I was red. I looked freshly sunburnt! I immediately put an ice pack on the parts that were burning and looked online. Many people wrote about a reaction when they took the natural accelerator on an empty stomach (so on their cleanse days because normally you take it with a snack). I was completely fine within 30 minutes. I'm so thankful I chose to do my cleanse days on non work days! I don't think I'll take the natural accelerator on cleanse days going forward. It just doesn't seem worth it. I did end up eating a whole apple to get my blood sugar level back up. They call for 1/4 apple, but it just didn't do the job. I wasn't surprised by this as I'm someone who needs to eat often to be able to function. Other than the apple I've followed it exact. I don't feel hungry, I don't feel unstable and I performed my entire yoga sequence that I created for my upcoming class! Though I'm taking this one day at a time, I'm also holding the intention of how I want to feel and look when I reach my goal weight. It's important, to me, that when I begin teaching my yoga classes that I'm embodying a certain lifestyle. I want to feel fully alive, present and immersed in my life Nothing changes if nothing changes!
