Today, I did something I never thought I would do:
I made 3 meals and stuck to it without snacking.
No coffee and no chocolate either!
I also bought dandelion greens.
Not really my choice, it was officially Day 1 of the Colorado Cleanse.
More about those dandy little weeds:
I always thought of dandelions as just weeds, and welcomed their yellow tops peeking through the sidewalks as a sign of Spring when I was a child. Of course the fun part was singing this song and then popping off the flowery yellow tops…
Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off!
Turns out the greens I bought at Whole Foods today are more like a distant relative to my childhood play things. Here’s more about dandelion greens if you are curious.
They will eventually go in a green smoothie this week or maybe a salad.
Haven’t decided yet.
I have decided this:
Just one day in to this cleanse and I realize I have erratic eating patterns.
It may be a blood sugar issue, it may be just a 3 pm crash, but I know this ~ that is precisely when I crave sweets, specifically a square of dark chocolate, or even better a hot mocha.
Jamie did a cleanse and her head popped off!
So, it was today, at 3pm, I indeed thought my head was going to pop off.
What’s the cure?
I don’t know …all I can do is drink water in between meals.
So, I spent half the afternoon in the bathroom.
Which brings me back to dandelions …did you know the plant name is commonly referred to as pissenlit in French or pissabed in English?
So it’s kind of ironic that I have been in the bathroom half the day, and I just now realize I have yet to take a shower.
Yeah, that’s, um …pretty gross.
Signing off, as I need to make my way to a cleansing!
