I can't believe I'm writing a blog. I'm a private person, own a small business, and have middle school children who would be embarrassed at mom writing a blog. Oh, well. I've been unable to channel the handwritten journals of yore into my life today. Trust that I have volumes already from my tumultuous 20s and 30s. Once I hit 40, my life hit warp speed, and the siren's call of the internet and reality TV took over the spare time I had between raising my children, being a wife and a stepmother and owning a yoga studio. So here I am.
I've wanted to do a cleanse for a while, but it was not until my good friend Shruthi offered one that I was totally in. I have eating secrets, dysfunctions that not many know, and though Shruthi doesn't know them all yet, she's gotten a taste. When I told her my daily intake included 6 cups of coffee per day, she thought I was kidding (and that was a low estimate some days.) I have admired the many Facebook and blog posts and word-of-mouth in my yoga community that people are doing a cleanse, have given up caffeine, are vegetarians, but I always backed off doing it myself.
How does Nutella fit into a cleanse? Red wine? Cheetos?
Seriously, I do have some God-awful habits, but being a self-proclaimed control freak, they're mine, ALL mine and it scares the bejesus out of me to have them taken into the light of day, examined and GASP! maybe changed.
So the pre-cleanse starts Saturday and that's when I start eliminating the beloved stuff from my diet. Monday through Thursday I'll be doing the cleanse itself, then Friday and Saturday I recover (ahem), I mean, integrate slowly back.
My friend's company is cardamomkitchen.net if you'd like to see more detail.
Here we go.
