When you fully comprehend that there is more to life than just here and now, and you realize that life is just preparation for eternity, you will begin to live differently. You will start living in light of eternity, and that will color how you handle every relationship, tasks, and circumstance. Suddenly many activities, goals and even problems that seemed so important will appear trivial, petty, and unworthy of your attention. The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appears.

Detox time

First off I want to say a huge thanks to my Brother for getting my post divider in. Haha. I tried for a long time and couldn't do it but He is the bomb at anything computers and well there is it! Love you bro!


Ok, So yes I am starting the Master Cleanse tomorrow, I have done many cleanses and loved them all and some of the ones I have done are very similar to this one only difference is the use of cayenne pepper. Anyhow, I am big into nutrition and health (and maybe you are thinking, then why are you doing a cleanse aren't they bad?...) I will say you have to be careful and listen to your body. Some people can handle this type of stuff and some can not, but i enjoy it! lol I typically  eat super healthy so this really isn't a big stretch for me to do.... Anyway, this is my plan, I am going on this for 10-12 days max and will then slowly and careful return back to my healthy eating habits, the only caution I have is that I am super active from running daily to workout daily also... which i wasn't quite as intense as I am now the last time I did a major cleanse. So I will be paying very close attention to that and the way my body handles it all. Through my 10-12 days of this I will write about whats going on..... from how I am feeling, the cravings (if any), down to what i notice to be different about this cleanse from the others. Oh yes, the others I have done are:
      Mlis Detox,
      Pure fruit and veggie detox, 
      and some other random one I got a a health store
 I will talk about the changes I notice from day to day and the changes in my body. 


I am excited, I really enjoy stuff like this because I believe it is good to be able to get to the point where you can read your body and know when it is hungry and when you just want something because it is there. I don't believe in being creatures of habit and eating can become that for some people and i have been there. Trust me when I say this, it is great to be able to really enjoy food for the true natural flavors the way it was intended to be, and be able to decipher whether you are really hungry or just need some water. 


Also a big part of this and what actually got me really interested in cleansing was last year I found out that I had a bad (rotten) gallbladder (most likely from birth) and had to have it removed. This was crazy and the Doctors were actually surprised because usually a 21 yr old dance/runner weighing 115 lbs, who has never been overweight or had any other health things doesn't need a gallbladder removal. Actually my surgeon told me this was his first gallbladder removal and a skinny young girl. So after having that surgery I became curious about health even more so and started research. Without a gallbladder the liver take a lot of stress and has to work over time and therefore takes in a lot of the toxins. From many doctors i have read that they suggest doing a cleanse every 4-6 months to keep my liver clean. But whether you have your gallbladder or not, i still think it can be a good idea if done correctly. ( Just a little background info :D ) 


So here is goes! :D 


Tip: When your hungry drink 8oz glass of water then have your meal, it will help cut down the amount you eat. Remember it take your mind 20 min. to sense that you are eating.
