Happy New Year

Today is the start of a new year. I'm hoping today is the start of a new body also :-) I went to see my neutritionist yesterday and had another colonics. We talked about how things were going. I haven't seen a whole lot of changes yet. Things look good then bad then good. You know how that goes. She said basically my body is in a state of toxicity right now because the toxins are going to my skin. My liver is obviously on overload right now and not functioning at it's best. She wants me to do a 7 day detox before the next colonics session. She looked over the 7 day detox system I've used in the past and felt it was a good one. I also like it because it's fairly gentle and I can still work while doing it. I need to eat mostly fruits and veggies. For protein if needed I can have eggs/chicken or fish - without cheese or added fat, etc. My smoothies are good in the morning - but she wants me to up the amount of flax seed meal I was adding from 1 tbsp to 2-3 instead (more fiber). I'm starting this on Wed so I need to prepare by making some veggie soups to have on hand, etc. It's not good to get to a really hungry stage and not have things on hand to grab.

My colonics session went well. More came out than I normally see. She thinks my colon may be tipped a bit so that when I'm laying down on the table the angle's not working with my body as well as if I'm sitting on the toilet. From what did come through the machine she noticed I had a lot of mucus and we could see a lot of hard metal coming through. I asked about that and she said it comes from environmental toxins mostly as well as dental work. (Yikes). I'm glad most dentists have swithed away from the metal fillings.

I found some really awesome lotions that I like recently. They're from a company called SheaTerra Organics. They have a website and are made from shea butters. I got Shea Gold and Cape Lavender. The Shea Gold says right on it for psoriosis and the lavender smells heavenly! The products don't have any preservatives/parabens and other toxins so I feel safe putting them on my body. Right now I'm so leary of what I eat and what I put on my skin because I am seeing what all the toxins have done to my body over time. It's time for me to put an end to adding more in there. If you sign up with your email address at SheaTerra Organics they add you on the email list - then you get coupon codes sent to you. I signed up and waiting about 2 weeks before getting one - but I got a coupon code for 30% off. It was well worth the wait. I'm always one for a sale :-)

Last night I went to a New Years Eve party at my sisters. After we ate some I came down with an immediate migraine headache. I haven't had one in awhile so I knew it was something I ate or drank that caused it. After going back through everything I ate I narrowed it down to the punch. It had fruit punch in it with artificial flavorings and colorings. I was so good on what I ate I didn't even think about the punch. I was trying to avoid the soda! Ugh - very discouraging. I'll stick to water & tea like I have been doing.

I wish all a happy new year and also a year of clearer skin and less aches and pains!
