My Master Cleanse CHALLENGE - Day 3

When I woke up this morning I finally braved the sea salt and warm water drink that you are meant to drink every morning on the Master Cleanse, all 2 pints of it.  It's meant to help flush down, you know what. Three words: It was AWFUL.  On top of this I had an additional senna leaf tea this morning - to boost the flush.  I've run out of lemons so couldn't have my concoction for breakfast, I guess that's why I opted to for the "flush" technique.

Cooked some bean and mini meat balls stew, barley and made a fresh salad for lunch. At 4pm had my lunch and planning to have my lemonade for dinner.

I feel much better having at least one meal a day - I have more energy.  Although I'm eating one meal a day, I still have to restrict the type of foods that I'm eating.  I can't eat bread, potatoes, sugar, caffeine etc.  Im following Anna Richardson's, Body Blitz Diet recipes and food suggestions.  Her book is more about healthy balanced eating, not starvation.

Everywhere I read about the Master Cleanse, I read that the 1st two days are the hardest.  Even though I  buckled on the 2nd day I believe this is a step forward in healthier eating and detoxing my inside and preparing me to take on the full Master Cleanse challenge in the near future.

I will continue with My Master Cleanse CHALLENGE with my TWIST until I feel I am mentally able to do the full challenge.  My advise, if you want to do the cleanse and stick to it, stay away from food.  Don't touch food for at 4 days and don't dare think of cooking food like I did.

Where to, from here? -> The Wall

We're right at the beginning of the new year. You should be looking forward to it but you're not. You should be making some major changes that are so lacking in your character, but you're not. You should be taking the all important steps to bring stability and wipe away those debts but you don't. I hear you, it is not because you don't want to change things but you go on to explain that it's because you still don't have the tools to make the wrong in your life right. Last year you tried against all odd, eventhough you didn't have the so called tools or means to succeed, but you tried. You pulled yourself together and decided to change your LIFE! You had so much energy, so much drive. You had a few victories and these steered you on. Until, you came acoss some obtacles, you tried to look for the solution - to make this change happen- but none was within your reach. You knocked on doors until your knuckles turned white and bruised with fustration - mor...

Habits

There are good habits and there are bad habits.  Most of the time it's the bad habits that tend to infiltrate into our daily routines and they seem to stock to you stonger than superglue.  To take themout of your life takes more energy and determination than you can imagine. I read an article about habits in the Monthly FIA magazine which spoke about a young chap called Stefan who had struggled with a drinking problem for years.  His other bad habit was jumping from one girl to the next, as soon as he got what he wanted, he would move onto his next conquest. When he decided to change his habits, he realised that he had to change his environment first.  So he took a drastic decision of moving from sunny St Lucia to the icy cold England.  Leaving behind all his friends helped because they would have easily influenced him to go back to the destructive cycle of drinking and womanizing. You might be thinking well my bad habit does not hurt anyone.  I just arr...

Hello... Anybody There?

It's been a while, I know. Been meaning to write or at least upload my vlogs on here. Yet it has been me chasing time. Me against procrastination. Getting over the apparent wall, called the writers block. And the bottom line is: belief, self assurance and trusting your inner self. And above all trusting in God. For a while now, I have had the distinct urge to write, to document, to share my 2 cents with the world. Or a few who will somehow wonder onto this platform. So I decide right here, right now. To cut down dramatically my Netfliximg and chill time. And focus on my apparent calling. I have been put to the point of discomfort, when from time to time, I would hear deep from the inner realms of my being " write, go on, just write, you gotta write - now!"  Floating in and out of consciousness ideas and stories cry out to free themselves and be heard. Even if, just to seen by the write herself. Today I choose to brush aside the temporary discomfort of getting my w...
