My Liver Rescue Journal: Day 3

My Liver Rescue 3:6:9 Journal

Day 3!

My mood was “off” this morning. I attribute this to the quarantine and not the cleanse! When I tried to “sit with curiosity” about my annoyed mood, I realized that I needed to implement some self-care. That looks different for me every day. Today I knew that exercise is what I needed.

I had a conversation with a friend recently about exercise. We both enjoy it and have been exercising pretty regularly most of our adult lives. We both agreed that during this social distancing, exercise has become even more of a non-negotiable. It’s keeping us sane. We both agreed that we feel even better than we normally would after doing it. Interesting.

After some weights and cardio and a walk around the block with my dog, I was feeling much better. I enjoyed my Liver Rescue Smoothie during my workout. I love that the types of fruit can be switched up each day to keep things exciting. I highly recommend adding lime to your smoothies and juices. It gives them such a great flavor.

Thankfully, the weather is gorgeous in Texas right now and being outside in my backyard is my happy place. Well, after Disney World- but I won’t be going there any time soon. I enjoyed my 2 apples and 4 dates while sun gazing, which continued to improve my mood.

Last night for dinner I had made the Yellow Curry Noodles from the book, so I ate that and salad for lunch. It is SO delicious! I was surprised to have found the kelp noodles in a normal grocery store. Be warned- they stink upon opening! Be sure to rinse them and soak in water for 10 minutes before preparing the dish. Let me know if you like it!

My afternoon snack was homemade applesauce (again, from Liver Rescue). Another delicious recipe! I’m also sure to keep lemon water with me and I enjoy a cup of tea here and there throughout the day.

So far, the 3:6:9 is going pretty well. There was a moment yesterday when I felt a little low blood sugar (which is actually one of my reasons for doing this cleanse), but I felt better after eating more apples.

This afternoon I plan on reading some from the book to maintain my motivation to follow through with the cleanse. Having something to go to for motivation is key on any cleanse, and something I work with my clients on during my group cleanses. There will be times on any new eating plan, that you will want to revert back to your normal. It’s the way our brains are wired and not your fault. Reviewing your reasons for initially setting out on the journey is extremely beneficial to stick with any program.

After today, I will be moving onto the second phase. So far, so good!

What is Sugar doing in your body?

What is sugar doing in your body? I've dealt with sugar addiction for my whole life! Those food companies are so smart! They know how to keep us addicted. In fact, they have something called the "bliss point". They know exactly how much sugar and chemicals to put into processed food to keep us going back for more.😨 Kicking the sugar habit has been a lifelong process for me. I know how good it tastes and how hard it can be to stay away. 🍫🍪🍩🍨🍦 As a Health & Life Coach, I believe in almost everything in moderation. There are some exceptions of course (as there are to almost any rule). Some of us have allergies to certain foods. Others of us have aversions or sensitivities. These are some reasons for cutting certain foods or food groups completely out of your diet. But for the most part, I believe that we should be able to enjoy what tastes good on occasion. Does this mean we should indulge on a daily basis in processed foods, alcohol and foods that we know don...

Rewind The Clock ⏰ Tips to Reverse Aging!

Teaching people to “Rewind the Clock” and actually begin to reverse aging, is one of my favorite workshops to host. Most people I’ve talked to believe that we decline with age in every which way. Most people think that we are doomed to be a mess of unbalanced hormones, unsightly wrinkles, aching bodies, pudgy tummies, and riddled with brain fog. No wonder why no one wants to get old!! That sounds absolutely miserable and nothing that anyone would want to be a part of. No wonder why the preventative aging beauty market and plastic surgeons are making a fortune! So what is the alternative? What if we could age gracefully and reverse some of the signs of aging that we might already be experiencing? What if we could begin to improve with age; become more comfortable in our bodies; more comfortable with who we are? What if we could spend most of our time doing the things we love with people we love? What if we could live an enjoyable life to a ripe old age and simply pass away peacefu...

The Importance of a Morning Routine

Do you have a Morning Routine? If you’re like most people (myself included), your morning routine has gone out of the window during this pandemic! Let’s face it. All of our lives have changed over the past few strange months. Maybe you’re working from home and no longer have a long commute into the office. Perhaps you have children and have to wake up even earlier than you used to in order to fit homeschooling into your schedule. Maybe you have lost a job and your schedule is completely different and unpredictable. Chances are, your routine has even shifted from the beginning of quarantine to now. This new “things are opening” time when a lot of us cautiously leave our homes a little more often but things still don’t feel “normal”. I don’t know about you, but I can sometimes “forget” the times in which we are living when I am at home during the day. I busy myself with exercise, coaching, homeschooling, cooking and cleaning and it isn’t until I walk through t...
