Healthy Moi

Okay. So now I decided to write about my journey to health and well-being as my family, friends and work colleagues now wonder what I have done to get to this. The most absurd comments by far? that  I have done a few cosmetic procedures, that I am doing some kind of a boot camp everyday, that I’m taking a secret potion – a very expensive one, that I’m not eating at all, or I’m bulimic. Although I must say I have thought of those at some point. But it is really ridiculous.

Quite frankly, even I am unsure which helped me on my way to better health. All I know is it was a holistic approach – in that I looked at it not just from a physical and physiological point of view but I went through a ‘healing’ process in my emotional and psychological state. This process has taken me about 6 months – I mean physically the results were apparent after 3 months but I find that I kept losing more weight every week. I must share though that my pre-paving in terms of thought/belief has been going on in the last 3 years and I believe that this was key. (To those of you who believe in the mind/body connection you will appreciate this. I am more than happy to share to you books/CDs/DVDs I have read and followed through if you want – just email me.)

But for the sake of keeping things simple I will share with you what I did in the first 3 months and that is I went through a DETOX program, which I devised according to my needs with help from a Naturopath who prescribed me treatment for my allergies.

• Colonics – I had 6 treatments done – so once every forthnight
• Gave up SUGAR – no lollies/candies, cakes and biscuits (although occasionally I will have a piece but limit it to 2 a week)
• Gave up BREAD – all kinds (but same as sugar I have a piece or 2 in a week)
• Gave up COFFEE – I now drink organic coffee

And that is all the main things that I introduced into my regime.

I NEVER exercise – and PG can attests to this. The only exercise I do is walk the dogs twice a week (during weekends) for an hour and 15 minutes each day.

P.S. There are other things that I do on a daily basis which has been part of my regime for a while now and I just kept doing that together with the above detox. I think those helped to but will share that in a different blog entry.

For now – love & peace to all!
