The final feast :)

So I have been really excited to get going on this cleanse !! Especially with the sore tummy I have from totally pigging out all weekend ! Easter at my home is a bountiful time where we eat drink and be merry ..... all of which have left me with serious indigestion :( And yet somehow I will manage to stuff in my Mothers home cooked turkey dinner (Turkey, tofurkey, roasted potatoes, mashed and sugared sweet potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower with the best cheese sauce on earth, baby carrots, stuffing, cranberry sauce, all covered in a rich gravy ) .... and a wonderful Thimble cake cupcake for dessert to boot. Not to mention white wine spritzers in the afternoon, red wine with dinner (and after ) a coffee and baileys with dessert and champagne to toast another beautiful Easter together.
My stomach is sad just writing that down .... and I am yet to eat it.
I think after a time of over indulgence one is more prepared to do such a cleanse. You are so sick of food, and wine that you are thirsty for water and lemon, green tea, and of course green smoothies. Heal the tummy ..... goodbye to the bloat of the holidays ..... see ya later cheese !!!

I want to do this cleanse so I feel clean, empowered, healthy, nourished, strong, and conscious. I want to do this because I know my body is sad ... and the green will heal me. I need to make amends for the gluttony I have indulged in over not just the weekend .... but the past several years .... and pray my body forgives me for the torture of eating and drinking far too much .... for not exercising and doing yoga regularly, ..... and for the ultimate sin of giving birth to my three beautiful soles. Your living self, on every level suffers while creating life. It is no easy task on the body, mind or spirit. My body was not happy after having my sweet boy ..... thank God for vasectomies !!

I will focus not just on the food side of the cleanse .... but focus on getting my body rehydrated, strong, clean, and on other techniques (which I will go over in detail) for detoxing. Things such as dry brushing , tongue scraping, etc. And I can't lie to you ... I have a beautiful pair of too small jeans hanging on the back of my bathroom door... patiently awaiting my ass.

I hope that you take the time to comment if you have thoughts or questions ... I hope you will do this with me too .... even for a day :)

Off to help Mom get the bird done for the final feast !!

Cheers,
B.
