Feeling a little light-headed but hanging in there!!

Hi y'all today was a tough one, I tossed and turned all night, my head pounded, I just couldn't seem to get to sleep, I think I eventually got about 2 hours, thank goodness I had nothing pressing today! I guess my body is reacting quite pissed off at me for no longer pouring junk down my throat and it is letting me know it big time! It did warn me in the book once you start eating clean and all the preservatives and sugar and all the highly processed foods your body's used to it's going to rebel. Boy, is mine rebelling with a vengeance.

So, I drank more water to get all the toxins moving quicker and I went to one of my favourite hot yoga glasses "Moksha" it's just like Bikram, where the room is heated to 105 degrees (AHHH it's just like being in Mexico, minus the Margaritas!) This form of yoga detoxifies, strengthens, tones, improves flexibility and relaxes you body and mind, plus a whole bunch of other things. I felt a lot better after the class, I expelled a few buckets of sweat (toxins) in the 90 minute class and was well on the road to feeling a lot better. I'm just getting back into the whole yoga thing, so my flexibility isn't that great, there were some positions I had no hope in hell of getting into, but it's amazing if you keep it up how much stronger and flexible you become. Instead of just collapsing in a sweaty heap onto your mat, you end up twisting and floating like a well trained ninja, I was the collapsed sweaty one, but I strive to become the graceful ninja.

I am quite surprised at how much I enjoy cooking! I always thought I sucked at it big time, but what I am finding is that you have to be inventive with all the spices and no fat rubs, I usually just use lemon juice and mixed spices with no sodium. Everything I make is actually edible, I know I'm no Gordon Ramsey, I don't swear that much!!! But I think I'm doing pretty darn well for a novice who was terrified to boil water!

Okay, here's what I shoved down the hatch today:-

Breakfast: 1/2 cup slow cooked oatmeal, 1tbsp bee-pollen, 1tbsp flax seed, 1 scoop protein powder, large glass water and cup of coffee.

Lunch: 1 palm sized serv of canned Tuna in water, 2 cupped hand fulls of lettuce, tomato and large glass of water.

Snack: palm sized grilled chicken breast, 1/2 apple and chopped veggies & large glass of water and cup of coffee.

Dinner: Talipea (white sweet fish, very yummy!) 1/2 baked sweet potato, fresh spinach & large glass of water & cup of tea.

I am preparing to do my daily 30 minute meditation, which I have come to absolutely adore, I follow a guided meditation CD as I still find my mind wonders....Squirrel!!!! So if you're just starting to get into this I would definitely recommend a guided form, it keeps your wondering brain from wondering too much!

I am ending today feeling a lot better, the fogginess is subsiding, my head is no longer pounding, my energy is returning and I'm pretty sure I'm going to sleep like a baby tonight.

Take care all, bye-bye for now.
