DAY #7 WEEK #2

I love having the house all to my self some days for long periods of time... I played Talking Heads, Stevie Wonder and The album leaf while hooping, practicing yoga and just observing the clouds change color as the sun sets... I slept great last night and had a dream about a farm, there were many trees, chickens, horses and a bison that started to trample me and my boyfriend shouted to me to crouch down so I did and it stopped, luckily the landlord of the land said that he should be over there and so we took him back to the neighbors... again many of this is total fiction but the characters and the fact I do live on an orchard all are familiar symbols in the dream.

This morning awoke and began hooping again, made my lunch so I'm set for a long day of work and left early for work to take an extra long bike cruise through town before standing all day.  Oh Happy Monday... doesn't really feel like a Monday when I don't have a weekend... ;-)

Cleanse on consuming

I notice sometimes that when I work a bunch and forget to make my lunch or don't have enough food for the day... I don't sway in my eating goals but I might purchase things that aren't that necessary as my food for the day.  It makes me reflect on what else is like food for us and our souls????

So today I am practicing mantra as my teacher, John Friend has said food isn't the only food mantra can be your food or comfort you might need in the moment."

Wow.... random thought what if one was to blog everything they spend in a week or a month ouch!!!

Day #6 WEEK #2

I think not having not having a day off for 2 weeks has caught up to me... I went to bed early and slept in as late as I could.  I still felt great after I started moving.  This could just be over work cause I am receiving compliments on my skin and I again feel more toned and I haven't really increased my activity.  I have been hoola hoopin a little more than usual just cause its so fun and am feeling soar in my mid-area so I feel like I have to keep it up to move the little abdominal muscles that I don't think I have felt before.

One thing I noticed is that I get a zit/pimple the day after I drink a beer....hmmmm???

Well no adverse reactions to the two beers from last night however, I was very sensitive to the alcohol buzz which ain't so bad but i do feel like I kinda cheated on my cleanse...

DAY #3 WEEK #2

Vivid dreams are back... they are not the most pleasant dreams almost like all my worries and hidden insecurities get revealed in my dreams.  Luckily I don't freak out too bad I used to have really bad ones when I was younger and had a long history of bug and animals dreams.  These dreams at least contain familiar characters and possibilities that I just never hope come to fruition.  My first thought when I wake up though is usually... I just want the dream to be over so I wake up more alive just cause I don't want to lie back down for the alternative.  My body feels amazing and I don't feel like I'm serving this blog if I don't add a little health awareness, so stop ready if you don't want the TMI: my bowels are finally solid again and that is still without any grains but I am getting fiber from the fruits & veggies It's just interesting that it took a week and a half of soft bowels for my body to bring it all back together.
