Tomorrow...

Tomorrow Kyle and I will be embarking on what I feel will be one of the hardest things I will have to do in my life. Ok maybe it isn't that bad - but it sure might be. We are going to be doing a 7 day cleanse. Doesn't sound too bad - right - cleanses are a good thing? Well the unfortunate thing is that during these 7 days...you can only have 2 things. 1. mango flavored detox powder 2. one green veggie (you can have as much as you want of this veggie in a day, but only that veggie). For those who know me and my eating habits - this may not go over well. I am a "grazer" meaning I pretty much eat every 2-3 hours, not a lot, but enough to satisfy me. So I can have as many of the mango smoothies and one veggie that I want in a day...but I'm not convinced it will be very satisfying. 

So why do it? For me, the mango smoothie detox is specially formulated to help regulate hormones and get rid of excess estrogen in the body. Being I was told I have endometriosis, an estrogen dominant condition, I thought it might be a good place to start. I've been trying numerous things to get my hormones balanced, some things have helped, others haven't but I'm hoping this will be on the positive end of things. Hormones are such a big part of the body and can be affected by so many different things. I'm not entirely sure why mine have gone hay wire, but I'm determined to help them get back to a more healthy state.

While I'm not looking forward to this at all, I'm hoping for both physical and mental benefits. I'll have to do some deep digging when those cravings start and will definitely be relying on the Lord for His strength. 

To be honest, I'm not sure if I'll make it the full 7 days. I don't have much faith in myself and my motivation/determination. It might end up to be a crappy 7 days where I don't feel good, am constantly hungry and see no positive outcomes. But I prefer to look on the up side .... maybe it'll help me let go of unimportant aspects and embrace myself as an individual, as a healthy woman and as God's daughter. I'm going to try to do my best to keep a positive attitude and keep my focus not only on the here and now, but on a healthy, happy future.
