Day 11 Weigh In: 78.0 kg’s 

So I seem to have hit a bit of a weight loss stump – my weight has gone up in the past 3 days, but I certainly feel lighter, and look lighter. Ugh, does anyone else hate this cold weather? Keeping my bedroom window shut makes me sneeze! Apart from that, I haveexperienced a great improvement in my sinuses.

Mood: Bright as

Motivation: Through the roof

 Over the detox blues? Perhaps. I am so excited all the time I can barely keep it inside – but when I do keep it inside it’s just as lovely to feel all the positive emotions swirling around in there. It feels like my heart is getting bigger and bigger, I can love stronger and harder, and I am not afraid of the consequences that may bring either. There can be no downside to an open heart. My writing is coming much easier, especially where related to assignments. My mind is much more focused on the topic, as well as enthusiastic about it, enthusiasm creates that spark in my writing, making it flow better.

Benefits I am feeling?

• Less day dreaming: Face it, this can be nice before you go to bed, but an escapist like myself can spend way too much time in the head, therefore missing all the beauty of the moment or automatically rendering it insufficient for my happiness

• Laughter: I positively seem to enjoy everyone’s humor without any walls getting in the way – humor that is relevant to my level of understanding that is.
• Love: I have way too much love to give today

• Peace of mind: Every activity I engage in, I focus on fully, slowly, and with compassion, the days just keep getting better

 I’m not missing sugar or animal product at all, and my energy levels feel amazing! I may not have to add some eggs back into the diet after all which I am so happy for. If you try this diet and find that no animal product is wearing you out by this stage, add minimal back in to see how you go, not all bodies are made for simply green living. I am going tell my body how grateful I am for its capacity to keep me so alive on a cruelty free diet.

My house-mate bought a new yoga dvd. Since I have mastered the other one I am looking forward to doing the same with the new one. It’s much harder, I am going to be one balanced cookie by the end of it. The previous Yoga dvd that started off my journey was called "Yoga with Amy". Take a look at her website. Amy is gentle, and has a soothing voice, you can simply feel her inner-awareness radiating out, I highly recommend her. 

Now I am out to master "Michelle Merrifield's Yoga + Pilates"while this DVD involves more advanced balance training - which I am looking forward to, Michelle brings more of a "Pilates" instructor vibe to the DVD, talks loud, fast, and high pitched which easily distracts me from my meditative zone. Give her a go though if you are looking to get started!
