Detox Before the Onslaught!

I recently read an article about how sugar is absolutely toxic for the body. I totally agree, but how in the world do you get around eating the yummy stuff when it is in practically everything that we love. What's more, the holidays are coming up and well duh! EVERYTHING includes sugar and carbs and everything else you body can't efficiently use unless you take a hike up the Appalachians post-meal. So, the timing of my church's Daniel's fast coincided with my personal plan to detox in preparation for the holiday season menu malady! A fast without prayer is a diet, so I made sure I kept my intentions spiritual for the first 3 days which were the schedule corporate fasting days. Today is the last day for that, and I have a level of clarity and focus that is blowing my mind. 

 

Starting tomorrow, I will continue my "no meats, no sweets" eating with the desired outcome of detoxifying my body before Thanksgiving. I haven't had caffeine in a week and today I feel more awake than ever. Is my body trying to tell me that meat is actually weighing me down? Is my body trying to tell me that too much sugar has been making it sluggish and not in top performance? I think I should listen to my body, but I like meat! I like an occasional donut! I guess I will just have to monitor my intake of certain "slug producing" foods over the course of a month. I miss my lattes, though. I love milky cereal. I'm interjecting what my brain is telling me, but my body is telling me that I feel 100% more focused and energetic than when I have that sodium and fat--ridden pizza. 

On Thanksgiving and all my other holiday soirees, I'll be sure to keep in mind how great I feel right now and in between fetes, I'll be sure to cut the foolishness. I like this feeling! But that cake is so yummy! Balance with the scales tipping toward limiting meats and sweets is key.
