Hello Everyone-
Here I am again. I can't believe it's been about 4 months since my last cleanse. This is going to be a bit difficult to write because of the backtracking I've done. Oh well, move forward, can't change the past.
After my first cleanse, the skin eruptions on my hands cleared up and it hasn't been as much of a problem since as it was before. I still get them when I over-indulge on sugar and processed foods. But I expected that. The thing is though, it doesn't get bad too fast and I go back to all healthy stuff and it goes away again quickly.
It took a little while to get my energy going but it did happen. I stuck pretty well with the post cleansing habits, eating, stretching, deep breathing.
But then Christmas came. I thought I'd just indulge Christmas day and then go back to my good habits.
Well, I kept eating crappy stuff along with some healthy things. For example, Bruce (my roommate) and I would order a pizza and I would also make salad and have a good size salad with my pizza. But not always.
I've also been indulging in things containing sugar and I went back to smoking. UUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!! I stopped again a few days ago. Kicking the smoking habit along with eating unhealthy things has been a real struggle.
For a while I kept with the stretching and deep breathing in spite of my slipping but have since been slacking on that as well.
I have to also admit that sometimes while indulging I have thought, "It's no big deal, I'm going to do another cleanse and all will be forgiven." Well, I am now beginning to feel my energy go south again. So I am certainly paying the piper now.
What do I expect from L2? Well, I'm trying not to have any expectations but how about if I'm hopeful instead.
I hope to have less cravings for unhealthy things and more for healthy things. I hope to make more healthy choices in diet and other habits. I hope to be even more in tune with my body. (I feel that I am already but there's always room for growth.) I hope to let go of some more anger. I hope to live more in the present. I hope to feel happier with and accepting of myself.
OK. I have an expectation or two. One is that I will probably have some healing crises, and two I'm sure I will lose some weight.
Love and Peace,
Laura
