So the first three days are over, how is everyone feeling?
I was totally staring at a lemon custard tart from the wedge today. I even found myself justifying how I needed to eat it! At that moment I closed my eyes, took a breath, and noticed my heart was racing! Over time it calmed down and I moved on. Just another example of how the mind tries to deceive us and how facing these edges helps us identify those thinking patterns. Just remember that these sensations WILL change and keep working and not reacting :-)
So I was informed by a few of you that the caffeine withdrawals are kicking in. My personal experience is to make sure you try and take a yoga class around those moments and see if that will change anything. I can guarantee that it will help. Also STAY HYDRATED. Not only will this help with headaches, but also with sensations of hunger and stress on the body. Eventually these sensations will quiet down and you will be able to identify real hunger and stress versus discomfort that our mind instills on us.
Keep working!
Keep smiling :-)

Thanks Dave. Definitely still feeling some of the Decaf fog... haha! Yoga Tuesday night really helped though.
ReplyDeleteAny more recipes to share? I'm about to make my maiden voyage down to Wedge tonight.
Idea: Maybe make 1 page just for Recipes, where we can all post links to our favorite discoveries.
ReplyDelete2 of my fav's to add to the list:
ReplyDelete1) http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2012/10/slow-cooker-vegetarian-kale-cannellini-soup.html When I made this I used the Cheese. Without it should be Cleanse-Compliant. Any ideas for vegan Parmesan alternatives? I think it was mainly for the flavor in this recipe.
