This morning I woke up feeling so good that I didn’t want this cleanse to come to an end. I was sad to know that I only have 3 more days and thought maybe I could extend it a bit to continue feeling this energy, clarity and productivity. I enjoyed my salt water flush this morning as I didn’t do it for the 2 mornings I was in NYC. It felt great to do my favorite detox & destress Kudalini Yoga DVD with Maya Fiennes from Acacia again too.
Then as I was doing some work I started to crave eating something. Not only craving but I was hungry for food. I’m not sure if it’s because I ate a little fish Friday night at Soto in NYC or if I just miss eating. I ignored the craving and drank some more ‘lemonade’ and carried on with my work. I then felt the pull of the two distinct feelings of loving and hating not eating, like a bad relationship. Food is a relationship and we are on a break while we work things out right now.
It’s interesting that I posted the health benefits of coconut yesterday since I went to an Nicecream Sunday Event at Jake’s today which was the first tasting of a coconut-based, non-dairy, all organic, new kind of frozen dessert
that is absolutely delicious.
I had a sampling of a few different flavors, met a bunch of great like-minded people in the wellness community and made my body desire more. I’m now realizing why "The Master Cleanser" says not to eat anything at all during the 10 days…it makes you want to eat! I did go home and down some ‘lemonade’ to curb my craving that is still lingering.
It’s loud and clear how much food is apart of our lives. I know it keeps us alive but it seems like it is everywhere all of the time when not eating. As my friend and I left Jake’s we were approached by two nice women talking about the new restaurant that just opened up next door and they gave us menus to look at and really talked it up. I walked away knowing that I’d be safe at home where there is nothing but lemons to eat.
