A Day in the Life

I’ve heard Natalia say her words sometimes get taken out of context. I have read Ehret’s work so many times I seriously know his books by heart. I quote him a lot and I fear that his words, coming from my mouth, are taken out of context as well. In fact, me taking his words out of context was probably my biggest problem with not being able to stick to this lifestyle until completely cleansed, all these years. I mean Ehret and Natalia both speak from perfectly clean-celled bodies and minds. And even though they warn over and over again about transitioning slowly, sometimes we are so anxious to get there we only hear what we want to hear. And we are hard on ourselves if we aren’t perfect.

For instance, Ehret said he could notice a trace of pale in his face the day after eating a slice of bread. So I might take that to mean that will happen to me. But, in fact, I am still so far away from clean that eating a grain-based meal might even make me look and feel better the next day because I have been cleansing too fast and needed to slow it down just a bit to let my bowels catch up.

Yesterday I drank 32 oz of green juice at lunch. Had my best colonic ever after work followed by another 32 oz green juice. Then I did my first infrared sauna. Oh wow! I’m hooked. But the rest of the night I was not so vigilant. My daughter took me out to the Spaghetti Factory. I avoided their wonderful sourdough bread, but after my salad I ate whole-wheat pasta with browned butter, mezzithra cheese, marinara and a huge side of steamed broccoli. Also a glass of pino.

So, I guess my point is: even though I technically blew it by miss-combing last night, because of the great work I’ve been doing all week, I feel great! And I am still inspired to continue to improve! (and hopefully be dumping that stuff out soon, lol)

I’m babysitting tonight right after work so I have my avocado salad makings, broccoli, and sweet potatoes to take with me and plenty to share with the little wild child! For today it will be juice and maybe some raw veggies in the afternoon.
