I decided that since I have embarked on this journey to lose 100 pds by my birthday 2015 I need to do some cleansing as well. I joined a group of people doing the Green Smoothie Girls 26 day cleanse. Yes, I really said 26 days. As of today I am on day 6 and going strong. It is really amazing what one can do when you put your mind to it. Where our attention goes, energy flows.....that is a saying that I have known for years and the older I get I realize that there is a lot of wisdom in that saying. A lot of truth as well. That being said, I am thriving on this cleanse because I am really focusing on my goal.
It's funny now that things are moving along I am thinking maybe I could extend my goal to 120 pds? Then I sit back and breathe and realize that I need to meet my first goal and then I get the opportunity to set another if I would like to. So to date I have lightened up 26.5 pds since beginning this adventure in March. I'm feeling pretty darn good about my progress. Remember that saying from your childhood that goes something like this....slow and steady wins the race? That is what is bringing me much comfort as I work toward my goal. I know that in order for it to be done the proper way I can't rush things. I can dream about it going quicker though....can't I?
It's funny, my oldest daughter is getting married in August and I hope to be a bit lighter by then, I am seriously focused on my 50th. Why do you suppose that is? Perhaps because I know that I can't possibly reach my goal by August. Wouldn't it be fab if I am halfway there????? Yes! The best part of all of this is that I am getting healthier by the day. As my body is cleansing I feel brighter and happier by the day. The cool thing about this cleanse is that it cleans several systems in our body. Form our Colon, liver and kidneys to our lymphatic and integumentary systems. I love the idea and analogy that I am cleaning my body house much like I clean my house. In fact, today I am tackling a closet. It all just feels so good when it's cleaned and the energy just seems to flow. I love that!
Here's to cleaning!

I think it's time!
It had been quite a LONG time since I have written on this blog! I think about it quite a lot and then put it aside and ignore it. Much like I have my body for quite some time now. I thought when I started writing this blog that it would in some small way hold me accountable to myself if I had other reading along. Then I must succeed, right? Well, in theory that sounds great. In reality that is not the way to think.
I have had well over a year go by since I wrote anything at all. I know that writing soothes the soul and is very good for the mind. In some way it allows me to get all of that monkey mind chatter out so that positive creative things can move into its spaces. I have decided that it is time for me to set a new goal! Did you know that if you set a goal and stay focused on it that you are unstoppable? It's true and for one year I am going to make a point of proving that to be true!
I have decided that for my 50th birthday I want to go on a cruise and not just any cruise, it will be a knitting cruise with none other than my new Bestie, Ann Budd! The cruise is to Australia and New Zealand! Can you imagine anything better than this? I certainly can't. So I have set my sights on the prize. Along with the financial goal to meet the expenses for the cruise I will be working on my body. My goal is 100 pds in one year and I started today! I am going to go back to eating raw since that is what works best for me. I will eliminate sugar and gluten. I have a few other ideas up my sleeve too. As for the fiber, I will have to have great restraint so that I can enjoy New Zealand and Australia! So no more purchasing yarn for me!!! I will need every penny for my trip!
I know that when I set my mind to something that I am unstoppable! That is true for all of us. When we have a specific goal in mind then we can attain it. I know that it is not as easy as saying a few words or visualizing for a 5 minutes a day. (although those things do help) It will take perseverance and down right hard work!
I will do my best to keep you posted on this journey to the cruise. Know with me, that everything is unfolding in Divine Right Timing!
Thanks for listening,
Cindy
