The last I wrote I said I was planning to come and detox my body from the extra allowance of alcohol and sugar on vacation. I can't say I am doing a solid detox but am definitely back to my normal healthy eating habits. I am slowly working my way into a more strict actual cleanse that I will couple with some herbs.

Spring is really the perfect time of year to cleanse, so we have nature on our side. It can be a fun and enlightening experience. This week I have been focusing on adding more greens into my diet. If we can start with just one healthy thing to add, our bodies will be much better off for it! What will you add this week to cleanse your body?

Hi Everyone,

I am in St. Croix on vacation with my family enjoying the beautiful Caribbean Sea. I have to admit that I have been having trouble staying away from the foods/more importantly drinks I normally avoid at home. This has got me thinking that I am going to embark upon a spring cleanse when I return home. If you have any interest in joining me on March 14th, please do. There is power in numbers!

It's always good to for me to stray away from my normal eating intake so that I can be reminded of how crappy I feel when eat/drink stuff that my body doesn't do well with. This vacation has been a lesson in balancing healthy eating/drinking with "old" cravings and desires. It takes a lot more than just knowledge that something is not good for us to stay away from whatever it is. It takes practice, discipline and a deep letting go emotionally. I suppose that is where I am now. Letting go of old habits and comforts. Helping clients let go of their old stuff too. I love this work because it forces me to look inside and clear up my own issues connected to food and self-care. Okay, that's all for now. My suggestion to anyone that is struggling to eat better: choose green whenever possible and drink clean water, lots of it! Goodnight! Lysa
