Detox Crash

A short Detox Diary entry because I really, really, don't feel like doing it!

I've got a horrid headache that will not shift even with spearmint oil. I've also had to come away from the detox programme although I haven't broken it...in that I haven't eaten anything 'forbidden!'

I just had to have something warm and comforting so i made up a simple carrot, coriander and ginger soup...well I say soup but I felt so guilty about not sticking to the programme, I only cooked it for a couple of minutes.

I'm disappointed but it's not the end of the world and tomorrow I'll get back on track and hopefully have more energy to write an interesting entry about this low point of the detox.

It's D.DAY !

For reasons beyone my control (ie. LIFE - see last night's blog entry) I am WAY BEHIND on my Detox prep....


HOWEVER...a good night's sleep rights pretty much anything in my book - so I'm up-and-at-em and raring to catch up on my prep.


The larder and fridge are EMPTIED of temptation. (Not a huge job..I can not abide waste so was obliged to consume, over the past few days, all foodstuffs henceforth 'interdit')


Sauerkraut is fermenting. Sprouts are sprouting. Now I need to do the 'Mental Preparation'!!! Actually, I did give myself a run-up week and although it's not been 'Totally Zen', just the process of blogging this 'challenge' has forced me to focus on the job in hand.

This first week of Detox I am following Tanya Alekseeva's 7 Day Raw Programme. http://www.betterraw.com and she puts Great Emphasis on having an 'Affirmation: a declaration that something is true, a positive statement'.

To be perfectly honest my instinctive reaction is to 're-coil' - it all sounds a bit LA LA LAND for me....but as I read on through Tanya's advice (and strip out the core messages) I'm starting to think maybe I'M being TOO BRITISH about the whole thing!

Do I want to 'analyze my mental and emotional state' (rather not go there) and my ability to commit? What is my true motivation to Detox and how will I stay motivated? Do I want to be 'looking within myself' to answer deep introspective questions regarding my attitude to my body and how that affects my personal relationships? NOT REALLY - is the honest answer!

I basically want to look and feel vital and energized. Simple.

Tanya is insistant that we sum it all up in one: 'simple, present tense, affirmative statement' that we repeat to ourselves at every given opportunity. I have commited to this programme and, on this occasion, my 'attitude to commitment' is that I will not be publicly felled at the first fence. So, pen and paper at the ready, i'm off to contemplate my navel..Sorry...Affirmation.
