My First Blog

I'm not a writer-
I'm not a blogger-
I'm not even a BIG IDEAS kind of gal-
But I am someone that needs an outlet - like so many others - and instead of feeling frustrated with the loneliness of a journal to express myself I have decided to turn my efforts toward this.  Will anyone read it? I don't know - Will anything I say be worth reading?  I don't know - Does any of that matter? No.  I'm doing this for me!  If it leads to helping someone along the way - Icing on the Cake! mmmmm Cake....

SO Here's My Current Project:   I recently started a juice detox to get rid of the harmful pollutants that have been living in my body for ... FOREVER!  I'm only on day 3 and I can honestly say I feel better!  I started off VERY hungry and tired and even had a headache most of day 1 but I'm on day 3 and all those things have disappeared.  It's kind of amazing.  We become so consumed with our daily fixes to get us by (coffee and caffeine being my main poison) that we stop giving our body the things it needs to survive perfectly on its own.  We don't need stimulants - uppers - downers - fixers - we need the right kind of nutrients and we can have the energy we need.

Ok so I'm on a health kick right now, but it's only because I see and feel the reward of being good to myself.  I've actually been on a health kick for a while now - working out consistently, being mindful of the types of food I eat, being mindful how often I eat - I've pretty much kicked out fast foods since the beginning of the year.  I'm not a perfect body type but I am a healthy heart type!  However, I have felt complacent in my efforts and have watched myself sinking back to a more lax lifestyle - thus the starting of a stringent detox.  I'm not trying to lose weight (but again - ICING) but I am trying to regain a more passionate drive to better myself.  I've set the goal for a 5 day detox but if things continue to improve I will make it a 7 or 10 day detox. 

If you are reading this - I miss salt!  So if you eat ANYTHING with salt in it or on it please do it and think of me... do it FOR me.  Thank you!
