I got some air and chai and chilled...

I believe my wonder lust is getting the best of me. Being here (in this city, in this job, in this state of mine, etc, etc) is making me so restless and I'm constantly thinking that every move I make, needs to be towards my ultimate goal. Perhaps to the point I think I'm actively sabotaging my own health. I somehow got the idea that I should take excessive vitamins and minerals when I came off the detox in order to get ahead of the game (building immune system up, getting a cold or what not)...that turned out to be a very bad idea.

My, now toxic, blood levels will be normal in a few weeks.

Eggs, cheese, meats, oil hate me now and I can't seem to get use to them, STILL! I'm thinking this might be a good thing considering what the stuff does to your body.

So March 1st, I'm looking forward to permanently eating the plant-based diet.(permanently eating like I did with the 29 day detox I did in January) I'm aiming at 5 days (during the week on) and 2 days (the weekends off). I won't be as strict as before this time around. Hopefully I'll have some more people who want to take on the challenge with me. Lots of people seem to be interested in my "feasts o' strength" hahahaha.

I'm a walking infomerical for this thing!!! Engine2 is FOR YOU!!!!
It still weirds me out that I feel the NEED to eat this way, just so that I can get that natural high again...I do miss it.



More details to follow later...

Discovering and Recovering

I'm trying very hard to get back on the normal food wagon...I'm failing miserably.
So I'm thinking that this diet/detox was great overall, but I failed to have a proper exit strategy.
I underestimated what NOT having certain foods in my body meant after 28 days. Instead of slowly introducing food, I went head first like an idiot and ate things my body immediately rejected. So I am adjusting right now. I will probably eat meat and diary a few times a month. I liked having that energy. Back to keeping it simple.

We had a potluck at work today. I had a plate with 3 tablespoons of things on it that I couldn't finish. It was sad, there were so much good munchies.

Maybe removing oils, dairy, meat, processed foods completely is the lifestyle change I need...

Still figuring it out.
