Today's Pleasures

Sunshine!

Wonderful encouragement, support and inspiration at my OA meeting

Awesome oranges lately--they fill the house with a wonderful scent, too!

Stayed raw despite feeling shaky

Noticing I am already getting a tan

Detox

White coating on my tongue

Swollen, dark under-eye circles in the morning

Some gas, a lot in the afternoon and it was smelly

Minor redness and bumpiness on forehead, nose and chin

A few cystic pimples around and on my nose, but clearing up

Tired for a short while in the afternoon

Acid-smelling bowel movement, but had much more ease of elimination today

Stress level

Moderate

Daily Thoughts

I struggled a bit today mentally and emotionally. I can't really pinpoint why. I thought about sneaking off and having a binge instead of going to my meeting, or after going to my meeting. Luckily my meeting was just awesome and I felt so much better. I got myself home to finish my dinner and of course, felt even better. I think I had some cleansing going on today, and perhaps could use some more calories to help my body do that.

Jessie James, I drink fresh OJ. Mama O, I get my oranges from a little mom and pop Mexican store called El Vaquero (the cowboy). They sell me a 40 lb. case for $25, and right now they are Valencias and they are fantastic. I also get my mangos by the case there, as well. They own a little restaurant next door called El Jacalito (the hut), which I stay out of. LOL!
