The cleanse is underway.....

     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!
