Day Two 21 Day Cleanse
I had a slight foggy head when I woke up this morning it soon shifted once I got out of bed. I squeezed 3 grapefruits and an orange, it is gorgeous! I am surprised at how much it fills me up. I put together my vegetables for lunch and off I went to do a little bit of work before going to visit my Daughter and Grandson. We all went off for a walk to the woods. It was amazing in the woods today, the sun was shining allowing the light to filter through the trees. I took my mineralising salad and ate it sitting on a wooden bridge chatting with my Daughter whilst my Grandson had a nap. We finished off the trip with a fruit juice pitcher in the pub. You cannot buy precious days like today.
On the way home I went shopping for the rest of the ingredients on my shopping list.
I really wasn’t hungry when I got back. I made one kale wrap but couldn’t eat it, instead I made a mate tea with fresh lemon and ginger.
Before bed I did the 4 minute fat burner. I have really enjoyed the experience today of eating so light yet feeling so satisfied. I can sense a huge change in my attitude to food, this is welcomed. I realise how often I eat because I feel I should, I eat just in case I get hungry later if no food options available or I worry I may get tired. My favourite trick is stashing nuts in my car or bag just so I have something to hand.
Today ive learnt how powerful our thoughts really are! I know thoughts are very powerful! Especially our inner voice, who can build or destroy us in a nano second. Today it became so clear to me how influential our thoughts are with regard to what we eat and when.
I got some before shots of me today that I will add shortly.
Looking forward to what day 3 of my cleanse will reveal!

Me in the woods

Day 3 21 day cleanse

Day three
I woke up feeling quite energetic, decided to do a 20 minute workout. My body is craving to move around more, I can feel the urge to really exert myself, very odd for me! I am not lazy and I love exercise but I do usually have to motivate myself for my Zumba or Martial Arts class. This is a buzz in my body to move and I’m loving it!!
I had my breakfast smoothie of orange and banana and I decided to swap my dinner of Apple Pie to lunch time. I made my apple pie effortlessly, packed in a bag and went off to the woods with my partner. We walked for over 2 hours it was beautiful. I felt really energized. It was warm and sunny when we left the woods so we decided to go to the beach. It was so nice to have a day off work together as my partner works shifts. The tide was in at the beach, we sat on the steps listening to the waves then went and had a lay down on the sand and fell asleep. Another perfect day! I am making the most of it as I get gradually busier over the next few weeks as my courses I teach in the schools begin. I wasn’t hungry this evening so I had a glass of coconut milk with some cinnamon.
I have noticed that I keep feeling emotional and a bit sad. Stuff coming up to be cleared I guess! It always amazes me how much our food affects our mental state and emotions. I finished off the day with a salt bath with some, clary sage, patchouli and lime to help release these emotions stirring up.
I look forward to what tomorrow may bring.

Day one The Garden Diet 21 Day Cleanse

I am looking forward to feeling great inside and out! I have been vegetarian for most of my adult life. I have been gradually turned off by dairy produce over the last couple of years. On the 1st of April this year I became dairy free/Vegan and cut out caffeine. I have been increasing the amount of raw foods I eat since becoming dairy free. I have lost 18 pounds in weight although this was not my reason for a change in diet it is a very welcomed side effect. After the initial detox symptoms I have increased energy and feel cleaner. I found it difficult to stay raw during our family camping trip, some days eating chips out of laziness. I have noticed how addictive cooked foods really are. I would like to learn more ways to combine a raw lifestyle with family, meals out etc
I really want to step it up so I can feel amazing.
I done it! I took a brave leap of faith and signed up for the Garden Diet Raw Program.
Today is my first day. I started off this morning with freshly squeezed orange and grapefruit juice

It was delicious.
Lunch I had mixed leaves, half an avocado, olive oil, celtic sea salt and pumkin seeds. I had to improvise as I did not manage to get all items on the already prepared shopping list.
I have practised two hours Tai Chi this morning and I am teaching for two hours tonight.
I am going to do Jules 13 minute workout after I have finished typing this and then prepare dinner of Guacamole Without Jicama as I could not get any. Going to substitute with apple.
