Mmmm potlucks. And smoothies.

I'm excited to be participating in a raw/vegan potluck at the end of this month. It'll be my first one and I'm looking forward to making something delicious for a bunch of new people. Now it's just down to my little internal struggle over what to make.

This is also the 17th day of my cleanse and it's going really well. And, hopefully this isn't too much info for some of you, but I had a colonic yesterday as well right after Ashtanga, which is always a great combination. Between "wringing out" my organs and sweating during Ashtanga and getting out all the old stuff in my colon via a tube in the ass, I felt really drained but really good. I just prepared my usual raw fare for dinner afterward and loaded up on the probiotics. Yum.

So I've decided that I will continue with the FlorEssence cleanse up until the Raw Spirit Fest. Then I'll either do a more complete two-week cleanse from Renew Life, or skip it and go into juice feasting in November, since that will be a great time to start (I'll also have a legendary Norwalk by then, which I will also be using for my clients...I think they'll be pretty happy).

Onward to the Holy Record of Raw!

26 September, year of 2, 0, 0, and 7:

• Lots of watah
• 2 oz. FlorEssence w/ 2 oz. water
• Smoothie (I swear it's becoming my famous hallmark smoothie even with its variations - I've got a whole village of people addicted now) - green powder mix, maca, blueberries, raspberries, goji berries, almond butter, hemp oil, water
• More water
• Mixed baby greens with avocado, sesame seeds, raisins, and olive oil
• 16 oz. green juice - garlic, spinach, kale, collards, parsley, lemon juice, lots of celery
• Seaweed salad and a nori wrap with mango and raw tuna inside
• Smoothie - green powder mix, maca, blueberries, cranberries, hemp oil, water
• 8 oz. water
• 2 oz. FlorEssence w/ 2 oz. water

Oh, just a note. I've had a few people email me about spacing food out and so forth. I list everything in order, but I definitely space out everything quite a bit. I do not drink water with my meals but always rinse my mouth with water after I eat. I usually wait about 30 minutes after a meal to drink anything, which is good practice for anyone, as it aids in good digestion.

Off to sleep!

Love and rawk on,

Steph
