What to Expect from the Crazy Sexy Cleanse...

Hello Wellness Warriors. Here's what we can expect during our adventure.
THE INTENTION & THE PHILOSOPHY
Our collective adventure - the 21 day cleanse - will tune our body, mind, and spirit. At the end of it, we'll feel magnificent and look beautiful inside and out. The Crazy Sexy Diet is an optimum way of life, so if this works for you, then this can be longer than a 21 day adventure. Or... It can be what you return to on occasion when you feel yourself veering off of your intended path. Use it however it works for you. That's the beauty of it.
The cleanse is intended to give us freedom from obstruction and BS, not create more of it. So it's okay if we're not perfect. That's not the intention. Our goal is to be further along than where we started, whether that's by a step or by a mile. The overall goal is to have a peaceful feeling in our hearts and in our bodies.So let's do this without fear. There is no such thing as failure. Just the opportunity to laugh at ourselves, recommit, and get back on with it if we fall off. Cause a better us is waiting for us at the end of this journey.
THE INFO SHARING
During the 3 weeks, there will be daily inspiration, advice, and reminders (mostly from the book). There will be recipes from the book and from other sources. I'm also happy to share some recipes from my personal toolbox, recipes I've used for my vegan/vegetarian catering clients.
The book doesn't offer us an exact what to eat menu, which is what I love. Instead it offers us a framework and then allows us to use our own preferences and experiences to create what works for us as individuals. So as we discover new recipes, techniques, etc on our own journeys, let's be sure to share them with each other.
THE FRAMEWORK
The goal is affect mind, body, and spirit. To do this, each day will include a focus, affirmation, prayer, diet or lifestlye tip and God Pod motivation to get our collective butts in gear. The prayers are in now way religious (unless you want them to be), but rather they are mini convo's we have with ourselves that remind us to honor the angels inside. These positive confirmations will help rewire our subconscious and propel us towards success and what we want.
THE SYMPTOMS (aka, we'll be going through it! lol)
Remember that this is a physical cleanse. So we can expect our bodies to be going through it as we work to flush out the toxins. We may experience emotional happenings, migraines, sweats, low energy, skin breakouts, etc. Our bodies will be experiencing these things as it works to heal itself from the poisons we're pushing out. These symptoms are positive signs that what we're doing is working. So don't let them derail you. There will be road bumps some days and triumphs on others. Either way, we'll get through it together. In numbers, there is strength!
NEXT POST: Pre-show warm up and what a week looks like.

LOL. Me too girl. Trust... You are not alone. Gluten and sugars are definitely going to be a challenge for me. Not only are they the things that I love, but I realized that they are my staples. I eat them ALL the time. sigh.
But we can do this. To help get myself through it... I remind myself that it's only 21 days. Out of all of my life, the decades of months and weeks, and days I have left to live.... It's only a measly 21 days of those. If I don't like this, then I can go back to whatever (though I doubt it.). The reality probably is that I may not adopt the whole shabang, but I'll leave with a few more good habits and would have reset my body for a healthier me. And when I feel ready to take it to the next level some other time, I'll give it another go, where I'll leave yet again with just a few more good things.
Baby steps, right? It's not about perfection, but about baby steps.

That's a great way to think about it and to keep it in perspective! It's only 21 days... I'm going to post that on my bathroom mirror and my fridge.0
