Day Two

Day two is coming to a close and as I sit back and reflect, I can't help but smile. The food I prepared was yummy and satisfying but what has stayed with me, all day, is my yoga practice. I practice every Tuesday and Thursday morning and I can honestly say in the last 10+ years, my practice has never felt the way it did today. I felt light, strong, energized. My fellow yogi's may have a sense of what I am trying to describe. And the best part, is that I still feel amazing...twelve hours later.

I will share that I did battle with my mind a lot more today than yesterday, but then again I had to go to the grocery store and pick up a few baking items for a gift I am making. So I eased the ego by first picking up some apricots, then some apples, then some delicious looking yellow cherry tomatoes...this seemed to help and I made sure I ate right when I got home. It's amazing how loud the ego voice can be and how coercive it can be. I am thankful for my mindfulness training and using the breath to come back to the present and to my body and to take time to remember how I felt today during and after practice. Self love is really what this detox is all about.

A dear friend of mine requested I post my menu each day...what a great idea!

I started the day with a fuji apple.
After yoga, I had some watermelon, a few strawberries, and an orange.
Lunch consisted of a large salad, with homemade salsa for dressing. (remember this is a raw thing, so nothing from a can or jar allowed)
I had an orange as a snack between teaching my two classes.
Dinner was a bunch of grapes, an apple and some pineapple.

Peace :)
