So to be honest... I lasted just 1 day doing TAM. I don't even count it as officially starting. After that little scare I had that day, I had a hard time jumping right back in the next day. And then it was the next day. And so on. Add to that, that I've had these horrible non-stop sinus headaches after my surgery that just won't go away with the constant weather fluctuation here in NJ! During the last couple weeks, as I've been dealing with the usual stuff - colds, a sick little boy, and just life in general, I've had a lot of time to think. I'm done my Holistic Nutrition program in just a couple weeks, so I've been really throwing myself into my schoolwork and spending my time thinking about THE health plan, dreaming of business ideas.
Then it hit me.... I should know better. I've been going about this all wrong. After the summer I had and the surgery and getting sick so much the weeks post-surgery, my body just isn't the same. I can't just start doing TAM like I never stopped!!! So at this point I've decided I need to get my body healthy first. I need to Detox. And let me clarify... Detox means different things to different people. Detox for me means to eat clean - mostly homemade juices, veggies, fruits, unrefined sugars, nuts, grains, etc. I need to get rid of the fatigue, aches, pains, headaches and get myself feeling goof so I don't feel like I'm on my deathbed whenever I want to kick my own ass!
So that's where I've been. Battling the newest strain of colds to come through the house and experimenting with various recipes, seeing how my body feels and coming up with a plan to get the healthiest I've ever felt. I'm not going to make strict rules (I don't do well with boxing myself in), I'm not going to beat myself up over every little thing and right now, I'm going to be my own client. I've been coming up with some new, healthy recipes that I'm planning on sharing. I'm juicing when I can. And I'm trying to stop the cycle of addictive foods that I tend to indulge in sometimes. It is a vicious cycle!
And if you're curious what the juice is above? That's one of my fav's! Kale, Lemon, Pear, Celery & ginger. Mmmmmm. SO good!!! Trust me, try it and you'll love it!!! So I truly apologize for the MIA.... I'm really hoping I'll have some great tips to post & recipes you'll all love! Once I'm a Certified Holistic Health Coach I'll have a lot more blog time =)
