Day 9 of 21

I am not gonna log my food today as I just signed up for the online food/activity log nutriday and logged everything there. I wanted to see if I was getting enough of all my essential nutrients. I am getting way less calcium than I need, for starters. Also, as long as I do not [...]

Day 8 of 21

Had my first ever colon hydrotherapy treatment today in the beautiful oceanside town of Pacifica. Before and after the treatment I took a walk along the ocean. Pacifica is notorious for being cloudy and chilly. Today was a sunny, almost balmy October day. Today was my gift to myself for completing 1 week of detox. [...]

Went to a Bikram Yoga class first thing in [...]

Day 3 of 21

One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite authors and teachers of how to compassionately nurse yourself to health from dieting and binge eating, Geneen Roth, concerns how inspiration from a book, person, or teaching can impact our lives. This inspiration can allow “More space in us for life to unfold so that [...]
