Days 9 and 10 have been quite uneventful. Just working out and trying to eat right. I managed 50 minutes on the treadmill last night and you know… I’m starting to feel better. I have more energy and more focus. My skin is also looking a little better. Coupled with my last weigh in, I’m so glad I got my mind around doing this… it really is making an improvement in my quality of life.

On the news this evening, My husband and I watched an interview with Kathy Freston. She has a book called Quantum Wellness Cleanse. It’s a 21 day essential guide to healing your body, mind and spirit. What she had to say was very convincing… so convincing in fact that Mike (my husband) and I are buying the book and are going to try the cleanse. It involves giving up 5 things in your diet for up to 21 days. Dairy, Animal Products, Sugar, Alcohol and Wheat Gluten. The idea is to ‘reboot’ your system and give it a fresh start.  Since we don’t drink alcohol and we don’t eat red meat, we’re half way there already.  The hardest part will be the caffeine and the wheat gluten.

Here’s some more about Kathy Freston’s Quantum Wellness Cleanse

Kathy Freston’s appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show prompted Oprah to commit to the 21-day cleanse featured in Quantum Wellness, creating an instant bestseller and a national trend…here’s a quote from Oprah’s blog while she was doing the 21 day cleanse…

Week One: Sunday
There was a passage in Kathy Freston’s book that so related to me, I thought for a moment she was talking about me.

In the passage, Kathy talks about an overweight friend who would gain and lose. She didn’t conquer the weight issue until she became a “conscious” eater.

Conscious eater. That struck a nerve. I had recently come to the conclusion that after spending weeks reading and rereading A New Earth and being on line with Eckhart Tolle that bringing a higher level of awareness to my eating was the solution I’d been avoiding. My idea of a conscious eater, however, was not quite the same as Kathy’s.
