Juice

Sorry for not being a good blogger!! I had an amazing weekend doing a course that I will tlak about more tomorrow!!
Well today is the third day of a thirty day juice cleanse! Yes you heard correctly 30 friggin days!
Why you might ask, am I nuts? Well that's already determined -yes but thats not why.
I'm doing it for a few reasons.
Last year around this time I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. I was bed ridden for three months and on major doses of antibiotics. This had been my fourth time with Lyme and this time it really kicked my arse. It's important with Lyme Disease to maintain my well being because if I wear myself down it will creep back up, so it's like an internal shut off valve! HA! I just thought of that but that's my experience of how it happens. When I go too hard for too long, my body turns off and shuts down and I am back to being bed ridden. I also had broken up with a guy who I was seeing for about 6 months but had also known him since 10 grade of high school and this was the third time around we tried to date. I mention this because it adds to the stress of everything, you know like if I had a check list of stress things in life. So with all of that I have gained like 15 lbs. I also sold my horse and stopped riding. And then started drinking an awful lot before my 40th birthday -hmm think I was a little confronted by turning 40?? I found that I wasn't happy with my body or spiritual mind either. So I got back into riding which for me is such therapy and I can see when I have horses in my life, I'm all good and when I don't watch out and started doing these juice cleanses.
The last juice cleanse I quit smoking!! And besides last Friday night I haven't had any for over two months. I also got rid of things in my life that weren't working. These things become much louder when your cleansing and much less easily ignored. It's amazing the crap I cover up with food, alcohol and smokes. I was so much more willing to sell out on myself and what I wanted.
Being on the juice also revealed some things to me that I wasn't willing to look at before. Drinking was one of those things.
I mean really, I'm a good blue blood and I drink as a we are well bred to do!
I didn't want to remove drinking all together from my life but in order for that to happen I needed to look at it not working the way it was. And I did.
So with the last juice cleanse, I quit smoking and cut back on the drinking.
With this one, I'm looking for a change in lifestyle frankly. My community around me is very active and healthy and I want more of that for myself. I am rejoining ACAC - local gym, tomorrow and starting a Yoga regime each week including some classes at my house.
Of course ride at least three times a week.
And i'm looking for property to move my family to. We want more space for riding horses, dirt bikes etc... And perhaps a place to have a community, organic farming, food co - op, not entirely sure but I am willing to have it all!!
So that's whats happening today with day 3!!
I will keep you posted.
Especially after tomorrow and my session with the Morehouse teachers. I can't wait to share my experience and will incorporate my experience from the past weekend. It all goes together! And is amazing!! I know you may have no idea what I'm talking about but I will fill you in, I promise!!
