Feeling the need to detox

After my box of coconut water arrived I decided to do it justice.  I need to detox a bit so I am juicing and having green smoothies for the weekend.  And as it's Friday I thought I would start today.

So today I am loving ......

1 carton of coco water when I got home from night duty
3 hours sleep
1 colonic
1 green smoothie made with

• spinach
• coco water
• 1/2 an avocado

So the reasons for this weekend detox are to hopefully be kind to myself after a few weeks of busy work and stupid hours.  Conseqently with all the silly hours I feel I have lost touch/neglected my routine/rituals.

• gentle yoga stretches for my back (slowly coming right after fall).
• skin brushing (always rushing to get dressed to get out the door).
• reading for pleasure.
• my juices have become boring and I have been making them in a rush.
• Shaving my legs (just cos I'm not in the same country as Geoff doesn't mean I can grow 2" leg hair!)
• Moisturising my body (it is so dry now due to menopause).
• Buying Christmas gifts for my Grandies and sons and D in L's.

Juicing like cooking or baking needs to be done with lots of love.  Whether its for the people/person you are juicing/cooking/baking for or just because you love doing it.  

The final product will be bitter/tasteless/a flop if you do it as a chore.  

Believe it or not but I love to cook!  I know how weird is that?  But nothing gives me greater pleasure than cooking for Geoff or my family.  I love to make bread and always preserve fruit and vegetables, chutney and sauces every year mostly from our garden.  With a little help from our friends.........
