My boss and partner in MC reminded me yesterday that we were actually on Day 10, not Day 9! I think I kept getting confused on whether we were on day 9 or 10 (giggle)! I must be enjoying this ever so much that I’ve lost track of the days. Regardless, I am now officially on Day 11! Drinking mad amounts of tea to stay warm as the office still feels like an ice box.

Last night, I took an Ashtanga yoga class and after class the instructor approached me. Commented on how focused I have become, how my practice is deeper, my poses stronger, and my intent visible. It was so amazing to hear that! Between the cleanse and the yoga, I feel like I’m just a little calmer these days and can handle just about anything. Though still increasingly nervous about going back to food. . .

As a reward for our successful cleanse, my boss and I are going to a delicious vegan restaurant on Tuesday night. I can’t think of a better reward.

So far so good. As long as I keep busy, the day flies by and I feel incredibly productive. This really has forced me to listen to my body. Are you really hungry or is it that it’s your regular time to eat? I’m aware of how smells affect me, what foods I’m craving, and the amount of energy I actually have. Everything truly is mind over matter. Well except for me being FREEZING cold. I can’t seem to warm up :(

So it’s winding down and my attitude is definitely in a better place. I’m so lucky to have the support of this community as well as one of my coworkers. Miraculously, I even made it through a muay thai kickboxing class! I’ve worked out every day since I started. So proud of myself.

I find that if I work out, my energy goes soaring and I feel a tremendous amount better. Obviously, listen to your body.

I have to say, my concern now lies with how much do I trust that I will make the appropriate food choices. I went vegan at the beginning of the year, but found myself cheating now and then on milk chocolate. That can no longer happen. The sugar addiction needs to stop. Luckily, I’m definitely not craving anything sweet.

Alright, finally winding down, better take this opportunity to rest up. Thank you for your support fellow cleansers.
