Week 3, Day 15 of my 21-Day Cleanse with Moira Nordholt-the Feel Good Guru.
This past weekend was a little difficult while traveling.
On Friday I had a great vegan lunch at an out of the way, local restaurant called Johnny Mango’s. I had a side of rice, a fresh corn and basil salad and lentils with ginger and lemon. It was very delicious and filling.
Unfortunately this was the last complete meal I had until I returned home Sunday afternoon.
The hotel only served set entree’s and everything included meat or cheese. I lived on bananas, oranges. a few nuts, and organic raisins. And, lots of water.
Lunch at the workshop was grilled veggies, but I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t eat a lot. By the middle of the day I had the beginnings of a migraine headache that was in full bloom by the time I returned to the hotel later that evening. At that point even the thought of food turned my stomach.
I missed having coffee and I missed having a glass of wine while we were out Friday night.
But, even while I missed them, I felt good. I am honoring my commitment to myself and that is very empowering.
I am changing my relationship with food and recognizing some things are just habit. I’ve lost nine pounds, although that wasn’t why I started this, and I feel better. I feel lighter and healthier.
There are still lots of recipes I haven’t had time to try that I am looking forward to after the cleanse.
My goal is to not be as strict after the 21-days, but to continue to avoid sugar and limit caffeine and flour products.
For right now I am taking it one day, one meal at a time, enjoying new foods and feeling good.
how incredibly strong of you to hang in there while traveling, while others were drinking wine and coffee and eating meat and cheese, while you suffered a migraine! if you can do this, you can do anything! i honor your powerful choices, sandy! xom
Thanks! I know you have been through this, too. Hugs!
Be kind to yourself Sandy. Not only are you going through huge physical cleasnsing…you are as well going through a huge spiritual, creative, and mental cleansing as well in your life right now. It’s more then ok to cut yourself some slack from time to time and do what you feel is best.
