Detoxifying

I’ve never been a believer of withholding food from our bodies, in the name of “getting clean”

We NEED food. food is our fuel, it makes us move, be, think, do.

So Instead I’m detoxifying my system.

Slowly I’m cutting off these things from my fuel intake

Red Meat ( except once a week)

Refined Sugar ( this one will be hard as I am a huge carb craver due to my chemical makeup. I’m not cutting myself off from ALL refined sugar, but I am refraining from adding  spoonfuls of sugar to my tea, cereal etc.)

White Pasta

White Potatoes.

I’m drinking Green tea, Herbal teas, Water, lemon

Fruits and veggies

and Raw Garlic.

as my physical health permits, from the back, neck and shoulder pain that is constant without tylenol and ibuprophen, I am stretching and doing Yoga.

It’s been a long time….I fell off the healthy wagon when I got pregnant with my son and could no longer do yoga or pilates without getting dizzy.

I gained 50 pounds with his pregnancy, and have not lost much of it.

I don’t care about the weightloss, I care about mobility and being healthy.

I’m making my lists of things i want to do, and it would be more fun to be able to do them if i can walk.

Funny how cleaning out the toxicity in my emotional life, helps me want to clear out the toxcicty in my physical life as well.

By far. Coke Zero, and Bacon will be the hardest to cut back on. ( I said cut back.. I’d never give up coke Zero and Bacon!)
