Cleanse & Emotions

Okay, so seriously I think I'm about to be over this liquid cleanse stuff. I have something going on with my throat that has me all in my feeling. I want something comforting and salty to eat. Today was just rough. Suddenly cleansing just doesn't seem that important.

Cleansing...again

So I decided to do this cleanse for the solstice. Not sure how long I'll do it and I'm not going to stress it. I just have to get over the hump of today I think. So far I've had my water, a mason jar of ginger tea, and I'll be drinking some coconut water in a minute. The reason that I haven't had much so far is, because my money was/is super tight and I couldn't get a case of coconut water in time for today so I'm doing what I can. I have oranges in the house so I'll juice them after the coconut water if my husband isn't back with the coconut water. I am even thinking of doing a couple of day with the MC lemonade (sans the smooth move and salt water). I need to get my body back on track, because I look and feel like shit.

As for Christmas, I am thinking or ordering dinner from Zizi's so that I don't fall all the way off the wagon...again. I'm thinking about it.

That's all for now. ;)

Whelp, here we go again.

So I couldn't get my unlimited yoga pass last month, because funds were low. I was going to get it this month, but I wanted to make sure everything was going to clear first. Big mistake. I should've just paid for it when I had the money. Now I won't have it again, because I have to pay for the kids to take gymnastics and capoeira. I must REALLY love my children.

My other goal is to start the Couch to 5k challenge. I have the app on my phone. The weather has been nice. There is one problem I can't seem to get my ass to move from the couch to the 5k. Just pitiful.

I hit this SAME brick wall every year this time. My body starts yearning from a cleanse, but I know I'm going to gorge myself at Thankgiving, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Years. It takes about 15 days to correctly complete a 10 day cleanse, so there just isn't a lot of time in between, especially at this point. Christmas Eve is only 12 days away and we get together to watch movies and eat on that day. I'm still not to the point where I don't enjoy and feel pressured to eat socially. The funny thing is that my family doesn't pressure me anymore. They've gotten used to my dietary differentness. It's me. Sometimes the food is SO good that I'm all YOLO with it. If I don't stop, I'll be shortening my life. I'm not getting any younger.

Can somebody please come drag me off my couch? Thanks.

Thanksgiving Fatgurl Sydrome

I don't agree with Thanksgiving as a holiday, but I refuse to miss ANY opportunity to meet with my family. I just make sure that I teach truth when I'm with them. Now, that being said we can go on to the topic at hand.

I ate ENTIRELY too much. I feel back into my old ways of gluttony. I was so full that I was completely mean and surly. I didn't want to move, talk, or anything else. As soon as I got home I had about 3 cups of ginger tea. I mean REALLY stronger ginger tea. I was so spicy that it made my throat burn, but it settled my stomach and helped move all that food through. I realized that I still have a BIG problem with control. This is the time of year that I always think about doing a cleanse, but it's also the time of year that I always fail.

What do you do this time of year to stay on track? I need help. Eating is social and I am a social butterfly. Right now I am a fat miserable social butterfly. My goal is to at the very least stay vegetarian through Christmas, Kwanzaa, and the New Year. I will go back to vegan after that and work on raw this spring and summer. Maybe that will give me time to figure out what to do during the fall and winter months.

That's all for now, because I feel like I'm all over the place. I hope you get the idea.
