One girl's treasure is another's trash, or vice versa, or whatever. I received a gift in the mail from my dear friend the other day, and I was ecstatic. Not everyone would appreciate it but I sure do. She sent me a 30 day cleanse kit. You take the three different bottles and 30 drops of each in a glass of water which you drink throughout the day. This cleanse ultimately puts your body in a cleaning mode and eliminates toxins and other waste from your organs so that everything is a bit more functional and clean, if you will. I feel so fortunate and lucky that I have a friend that works at whole foods and can link me in to such a treat. These are the things that are important to me, so I treasure it. I haven't felt incredibly different just yet. I have been on the cleanse treatment for about 7 days and the small things that I have noticed are my skin having more blemishes and also this weekend feeling extra tire, a lot more tired, than usual. They do say that you will feel worse before you feel better. So I am sure these are symptoms that the cleanse is doing its job.
After my 30 day cleanse is done, I plan to execute my next gallbladder cleanse. I dread it, honestly. But I know it is a good thing and a necessary thing, and in all reality it isn't that bad, but I have to let go of my routine of productivity and freedom for that night and following morning and that is very hard for me to do. What? Go a night with going to bed early and not utilizing every second with my to do list? Maddening!! But taking care of myself has to be first or none of the rest will ever work, so sacrifice I must. The other uneasy thing is that I have to start my training schedule for my next half marathon in about a week and a half. It will be sketchy to drop that for two days for the cleanse and then try to jump back, but it won't be as damaging since it will be at the very beginning of training, where it is pretty light stuff anyway. I feel guilty that I have done so little running over the past few months but I have a couple things in my favor - the first is that I am lucky enough to be able to pick it up really easily even after all of that time off. I don't know why that is, but that is one of the things I have going for me. The other day I ran a mile just because I had that little bit of time to spare so I jumped on the treadmill and did it, and didn't even think about it. I am not fast, that is for sure. But people tell me all the time they can't even do a mile without stopping and it really doesn't register with me, because I am so conditioned to do long distances.
Well, time is up, until next time.
