Trying Something New -
So I have been introduced to this book called Quantum Wellness.
The book seems very interesting and I haven't read it completely yet but I have decided to try one of it's suggestions. A 21 Day Cleanse -
So .....for the next 21 days I am going to avoid the following:
Sugar
Caffeine
Gluten (Wheat)
Alcohol
Animal Products (That means meat, dairy, eggs, etc.)
I just turned 38 and I can think of no better time to take my self care up a notch.
Today is my first day and so far so good. I just needed to make a trip to Trader Joe's and I was all set. I am amazed by the abundance of food in our world. Once you take the time to look around it really IS amazing all that is available to us.
I'll keep you posted as to how I am doing.
I am going to take it one meal at a time. My goal is to bring my conscious awareness to what I put into my body and see how I feel. I have always eaten pretty mindlessly so this will be a fun experiment.
What I have eaten so far today:
Breakfast:
steel cut oatmeal with frozen mixed berries
Lunch:
brown rice cakes with cashew macadamia butter
a kiwi
green beans and carrots
Snack:
Cucumber slices and hummus dip
Dinner will be:
tofu tacos (my kids are going to have a fit!)
Weee!

Wow, that sounds very intense. And as much as I like to try new things - I'd be right with the girls on the tofo tacos! Good luck!!
