Peace:
Last night I took time to appreciate me. I hit the steam room at the gym, came home and tucked my young God into bed, and pampered myself like the Queen I am. I started off by juicing some "exotic fruit." Okay, they weren't THAT exotic -Kiwis, mangoes, strawberries, blackberries but they sure did taste good together. Mind you, before I bought my juicer my fasting days were filled with boring carrot juice and if I felt like a dose of sugar I would go for a juiced apple ----a mediocre melody indeed. Now, I'm actually enjoying downing juiced drinks. After I drank my juice, I wrapped myself in an organic mud/vinegar spa detox scrub, lit my bathroom candles, turned on some jazz music, and soaked. It felt wonderful to finally take time to give myself what I deserve.
This morning I made a drink of kale, carrots, beets, AND Dill (dangit I didn't know how good dill can make a vegi drink taste). I MUST start adding it to my salads when I start chewing again.
I'm still having cravings...CRAZY cravings. They must be a part of the cleansing process. Yesterday, I thought I wanted fish sticks .....YUCK! I haven't had fish in 12 years and I damn sure haven't had fish sticks since grade school...and I'm 30 years young! Can these gross foods still be in my system? How do I get rid of them? Is it a slow fasting process?
Also why am I craving sugar at night?----in the form of fruit. Could it be a comfort issue? Anyway, I'm taking each day as it comes...and enjoying the cleansing process.

Cleaning out the bowels will help taper off the cravings.
Whenever I would get cravings, I'd drink a cup of hot lemon/cayenne pepper tea and that would nip the craving in the bud. Sometimes I'd squirt a dollop of honey or agave nectar on a spoon and slowly lick it off... helped every time.
I love your idea about pampering the self. We are the only ones who knows what our bodies and spirits need to thrive with vibrancy. To acknowledge this is to tell our bodies and spirits they are worthy and only good things can come from that.
