Well, as I predicted, this time around there would be not only a cleanse physically, but an emotional cleanse as well. Bingo. I shed many a tear yesterday but by the end of the day I felt a sense of relief and got to talk it out with one of my best friends whose known me since 2nd grade.  Needless to say by the end of the day I was exhausted.  As much as I wanted to climb into bed and fall asleep by ten, my computer sucked me in and I filled the last two hours of my evening catching up on some tasks I've been meaning to.
This morning, I feel great.  This cleanse is definitely easier than the first, and the second day doesn't seem to be presenting as big of a challenge as it did the first time around. I am also 'doing' less in terms of physical exertion. Tomorrow will be a more difficult test as I teach two high energy classes, but for now, I am content catching up on a lot of work that hasn't been urgent, but more forward thinking. Which I love. And I feel like I am cleaning out my system effectively. Have I cheated? Yes. I'll be the first to tell you that I had a bite of a raw bar yesterday morning, an English Breakfast tea with a little almond milk and a tablespoon of almond butter last night.  And this morning, I had the last remaining bite of that raw bar and some Early Grey tea. But I haven't had coffee and unlike yesterday, don't feel as if I need it today.  My goal is to rid my dependence to coffee in the morning, and hopefully, with some continued morning juicing habits, I'll be able to succeed. Thoughts, questions, ideas? Please comment! Would love to hear from you.
