Day 12: A Dozen Days of Detox

Things have certainly stabilized in my body for this cleanse. I'm finding it quite difficult to wake up early on these cold winter mornings to do the SWF. I'm going to start doing them in the office now that my body is more stable. I bought some bentonite clay yesterday, but it seems that I also need the psyllium. I'm going to see if they have it at the health food store today. I'm also dangerously low on organic lemons AND the roads are slick and snowy. I may have to supplement with some non-organic lemons until the roads to Reno clear. (I bought the last 3 organic lemons in Fallon yesterday.)

My mood is much improved and I'm feeling much more able to weather emotions that are coming up. I'm thinking that my intense self-judgment had much to do with being in the first days of detoxing when I went to Cali. (Fear of rejection is one of the most challenging emotions for me to weather.) I love the clear mind I have without caffeine right now. It would be nice to avoid caffeine after this cleanse. That is always difficult because I do love coffee and when the aroma is wafting through the office it is very tempting.

It's time to start working on meal plans with Ginny as well. It is interesting to rethink some of my meals to expand and include the likes of another person. I think we will have some wonderful recipes between the two of us. Of course, Miso Glazed Salmon and Ginger Steamed Tilapia are my top favorites during the work week. I'd like to make Quinoa Lentil Curry a regular as well. I'm considering trying out one raw day to see how it feels to do it. Matt might appreciate that. Other than that I'm going to work on getting back to the healthy eating pattern I already know I enjoy while making sure to get enough healthy fats and nutrient dense foods to help support me in healing and being well.
