21 Day Cleanse, Day 4

Continuing with my Crazy Sexy Diet 21 Day Cleanse, things are going well.  I did have a small bite of my husband's crab cake when he visited me at the farmer's market last night, but other wise I have kept to the plan.  I am working out daily and already down 4 lbs this week.  I think just the lack of beer drinking is making a huge difference.  So far I don't miss beer or wine, my biggest vices, but I know temptation will be there at some point in these 21 days.

One of the hardest things for me to include is meditation.  I've managed to get that in once in the past three days.  I'm making it a goal to get that in today.  I do like to think of yoga as semi-meditation, when I can really clear my head and focus on my breathing through poses.  But to just be still with myself is going to take a little more practice.

Otherwise, I have made a habit of dry brushing, my diet is highly raw, green and alkalized, I'm drinking loads of water and some green and herbal tea.  It's a little time consuming with planning and making sure I am covering all my bases, but as the days roll on I'm more comfortable and it gradually becomes more habitual.   

I know the upcoming weekend is going to be a challenge.  We are going to visit some of the husband's family and I know there will be lots of good food.  I have a feeling out of respect (and desire) I won't stick completely to vegan diet but I will still be mindful of what and how much I consume.

I really like the "prayer" for today:
Please help me to locate my inner rebel.  May I become a trailblazing leader, not a follower.  When I stand in my fully actualized glory, I encourage others to do the same.
