First of alI let me start by saying that I had this post written in its entirety and my phone deleted it before I could publish it. I am mentioning it only because it ties into the subject of patience and anger – which is one of the topics I this particular post.

Today is day 7 for me of Kris Carr’s crazy sexy diet. A 21 day cleanse the expels meat, dairy, eggs, processed foods, gluten, and sugar from my diet.
Okay now is the time when you can ask me what exactly what I am eating.
The answer: everything.
I am eating better then I have in my whole life – the result? I feel better then I have in my whole life.
I have been a vegan for about 3 years now, but that doesn’t mean I have always been a healthy vegan. French fries, Oreos, and crisco are all vegan after all. Without the meat in my diet any cause of stress could inflict on me the horrible domino effect of eating badly leading to: being horribly sick for at least a week.
So why not eat meat and dairy?
I  have been Allergic to dairy since 2003. The same year they started injecting dairy cows with a new hormone called:
When you inject animals with hormones it is of course going to effect their flesh and eggs so if my body  can’t handle the milk it most definitely can’t handle anything else coming from the animal.
This is a matter of my health and since Christmas I have had 3 flu like colds.
It was time to reset.
I found out about Crazy Sexy Diet from one of my class instructors at the gym and immediately picked it up. I am constantly on a quest to keep extra pounds off my short frame and weight watchers ( a program i lost 20 pounds on previously) difficult to do while sticking with my vegan diet.  ( fruits and vegetables can’t really be 0 points when they make up 75% of your diet) this seemed to be a way to get healthy and to maybe for the first time since I was 12 not feel guilty about every single piece of food I put in my mouth.

So here I am  7 days in. 3 pounds down from eating home cooked veggie filled meals 3 times a day with snacks in between. Still as I approach week 2 there are a few things I would like to do better on and here they are:

1. Even more vegetables! I have been having spinach smoothies every morning for breakfast, juicing as much as I can and fitting veggies into every meal but I need More! This week i will have a salad as my lunch or dinner everyday.

2. Not forgetting to take my vitamins! I am trying to create nightly habits but I suck at then. This week I will was my face, take my vitamins, then brush my teeth. All this healthiness has also encouraged me to take better care of my skin and teeth

3. The meditation. One of the parts of the cleanse is meditating. I admit I am downright failing at that. In the past 7 days I have meditated once for 5 minutes. I can do better even if I means waking up 5 minutes earlier. All though I might start doing this before bed to fend off some of the weirdo dreams I’ve been having.

4. Push myself. I spend so much money on my membership to Equinox so I will go and it being cold outside should not be stopping me as much as it has been. I will go 3 times a week at the least or double up on classes.

So this is me checking in with myself. My original plan was to post every day but between school and work it just hasn’t happened. So it will be once a week. Shoved into between what will hopefully be more outfit posts and store updates.
