Before I get all deep and thoughtful, I want to give a shout out to Angela at Oh She Glows --- I just finished downing a bowl of her Sweet Potato Oatmeal <Breakfast> Casserole it was sooooo good!! There are days when I just love having breakfast for dinner. I followed her recipe exactly, so I'm not going to reiterate it here. All I am going to say is if you love sweet potato casserole, duh ~ who doesn't?? and you love oatmeal, this casserole is for you.
....and now on to deeper more pressing issues:
Do you have any idea what it’s like to feel blissfully whole and comfortable in your skin? Do you know what it’s like to be centered and grounded yet filled with an abundant supply of zippy energy?
These are two questions that are asked by author Kris Carr on her website http://www.crazysexydiet.com/.
My answer: No!! I don't know what it would be like to feel blissfully whole & comfortable in my skin and No! I don't know what it's like to be centered and grounded nor have I ever felt full of "zippy energy (except when I was maybe like 5 years old)!!"
Do I want these things: Hell Yes!!
This weekend my sweet mom drove me around to 3 different Chapters bookstores so I could buy Kris Carr's book, Crazy Sexy Diet. I am just finishing Chapter 2 and already I am feeling really excited about the possibilities should I be able to follow the principles set out in this book.
My plan right now is to finish reading the book this week and then embark on the 21 day cleanse. I've never tried stuck to this type of plan, but I'm feeling ready and motivated and this time I am going to do it fully, completely and with an open heart and mind.
Body image has always been a sensitive issue for me. I have to work really hard and be very careful about what I eat in order to maintain a figure that I am happy with. I just have to look at a Boston Cream Donut and I swear that an inch is added to my bum.
I had a lot of success with Weight Watchers a few years back, but in order to shed the pounds, I primarily ate grilled cheese sandwiches using Weight Watchers bread, butter flavoured Pam instead of butter and light cheese slices. Healthy?? I think not.
A few years have now passed since shedding the pounds and here I am a few pounds heavier finding all my pants to be just a little bit snugger. My dilemma now is that I am much more aware about what I am putting in my mouth and the long-term impact of the food choices that I make, so a Weight Watchers grilled cheese just isn't going to cut it.
So, I am going to try to stick to eating healthy, whole, organic when possible foods to see if I can get myself and my body back on track. I really want to know, does this change in eating really give you the healthy glow I've been reading about from all my favourite bloggers? ~ because if it does I wanna get me some of that!!
I'm looking forward to taking this journey with you!!

Yes -- do it! When I went on my first cleanse last summer (which was very similar to CSD) I felt so full of energy and life -- and I did it while I was working and living on a farm! I definitely had a day when I had a detox headache, and some *interesting* stuff happened in the bathroom, but besides that, I felt better than I had in a few years. Now on the cleanse again, I feel very full of energy, like nothing's holding me down. My contant dull ache over my liver area is completely gone, which was the main reason why I went on this detox to begin with.
ReplyDeleteit's great too, what I found from doing the first cleanse was that I kept a lot of the habits and ways of eating with me throughout the autumn and winter...like food combining and balancing out treats with healthy food.
I'm excited for you! I can't wait to hear about your journey with a cleanse :)
