Weather still playing blah games but I went outside and did my walk and ran a few errands. Fighting with an earache so going to rest a bit and veg in front of the television. Had a nice talk with my friend Larissa today and I am thankful for people that keep it professional but still manage to be friends when your not doing business!

Challenge Day 20

BACK ON POINTE MORNING ROUTINE

SQUAT AND PLANK CHALLENGE

STEPS SO FAR = 6000

Today has been a hard one. I was over tired this morning and actually slept till almost 10:30 am.

To some that might not be that amazing but to me ...I get up at 6 am usually. I feel sluggish, annoyed and on edge. This is normal when starting a cleanse but the wait for the worst of these symptoms to subside is at times torture. I did a little more activity today but I will be clear those extra steps on my downtime days for the next week will be largely due to pacing and anxiety. LOL. I am going to do my best to stay clear of processed things from here on out because if it makes you feel like this it can just not be good for you. 

Me today

Even though I do not eat these I wanted them today. 

That is how bad these withdrawels are.

Challenge Day 19

BACK ON POINTE MORNING ROUTINE

SQUAT AND PLANK CHALLENGE

STEPS SO FAR = 4000

Successful start to the new year. Sticking to my plan to fast and cleanse the first 30 days of this month.

I will say 30 for now and then see if I choose to do longer. All sugars, flours, man made or man enhanced foods are out of the picture and I am drinking tea, water or fruit infused water. I am a very strong willed person but I will not try and make it sound like this is not hard in the beginning stages. 

I consider myself now a veteran of fasting but the first 3 days are pretty much killer ( ugh).  Dreaming about foods I never even had in my diet to begin with or just thinking about food none stop even though that is not a regular part of my nature. I am taking the first few days easy with physical activity so my body can a adjust to all of the changes going on again. Movies, conversations and sleep are keeping me away from plundering the fridge.  Keep on Keeping on!

How I feel at the start of a fast

NEW SUBJECT

Coconut oil for hair

Hair Conditioner : Just place desired amount in hair and massage scalp 

Stimulates Hair Growth

 Deep Conditioner Mask: Use a generous amount of oil to get hair really saturated, put hair up and cover with plastic shower cap for 1-2 hours, Rinse

 Anti Frizz & Shine

 Mends Split Ends: Apply a little oil to the tips of your hair a few times per week.

Last post for the year. Successful start to the new parts of my journey that I have planned.

Tomorrow starts a fasting process. The first 2 days I will be taking it quite easy movement wise because I will to start only be taking in water. Fresh and clean the body deserves this new beginning.

“What the New Year brings to you will depend a great 

deal on what you bring to the New Year.”

Slide into the new year with grace and class.
