Wednesday- Day 19

A new day, a new month! September 1st. I really like the ring of that! 🍂

While I had a really good night sleep (only up once to use bathroom which is common and I typically always fall right back to sleep), I was glad I fell asleep shortly after getting into bed. One of the areas I noted was that this Purification has not helped in the sleep department.

Since we don’t get home until after 5:30 (the work days are long) we don’t sit down to supper until at least 6:30. Then we need to wait at least 2 hours to go to bed which 9 pm works for us, especially when the goal is to be up by 4:30. Although I would like to be up by 4:15. However since Sunday night I’ve had to take melatonin as I just get into bed and then become awake and lie there. Just warmed not hot fresh milk sprinkle with nutmeg does the trick. I caved last night I have milk at. 8 o’clock no problem falling asleep as I typically do before yes.

Well back to meals for the day! It was a whirlwind of a day too.

Smoothie: 2T SP Pro Complete, 2T Whey Pro Complete, 1 cup Califia coconut milk, 1 peach, 1/4 cup chopped fresh dates

Breakfast: sautéed in olive oil, Cipollini onion, shiitake mushrooms and tatsoi (I added the additional way pro complete this morning because I had no other proteins available. Bill had his soft boiled eggs).


Lunch: 1 cup butternut squash, red lentil soup made with coconut milk, sautéed onions made on Sunday. Salad of arugula, watercress, cherry tomato, cucumber with olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Note to self: certain greens do not sit well until lunch with dressing on it. Certain death of wilt.

Supper: thank heaven for smoothies. I had a massage scheduled at 3:30. When I was done I noted a text from my hairdresser. It was 4:45. My appointment with her for tomorrow afternoon was actually today. So I went straight away and arrived home at seven.

Dinner smoothie: 2T SP Pro Complete, 2T Whey Pro Complete, 1 cup raw milk, 1 peach, 1/4 tsp cardamom powder. 

Well not much more to write tonight. It’s time to just relax. A cup of chai rooibos tea with a splash of milk. And then bed. Night! 🛏

Thursday - Day 13

Sometimes I wonder if we are the only ones who feel the craziness of the morning. Life would be simpler if we woke say 90 minutes before work, groomed, then grabbed a bowl of cereal and out the door. However, if we did that, I wouldn’t be writing a blog that I hope could be helpful to someone else someday. This week has been such a run-on sentence. I have to ask myself “do I feel better than I did before I started this 13 days ago?” Yes and No. I think I have more energy in the morning if I get a good night sleep, yet, once I have my morning walk before work (between 2 and 2.5 miles), I still often feel drained. Perhaps it is the sultry August mornings that are exhausting. I still have sinus issues that usually are seasonal, but the seasonal issue came back in the spring of 2020 and is still here.  So I kept it simple this morning, the best that I could do, maintained all the supplements, and for the morning smoothie I just threw in SP Complete, beets, carrots, cilantro, ginger and...

Standard Process Purification: The Takeaway

Saturday, September 4, 2021 Me this morning. Three weeks have passed since beginning the Standard Process Purification cleanse. Questions such as “How do I feel?”, “What do I notice?”, “Was it worth it?”, “Would I do it again?” and "Moving forward" are all questions to be reflected upon.  I don’t know about you, but many generations just lived, ate seasonally, and didn’t pay much attention to the catchall words that we have today such as “organic” and “sustainable eating.” They already were!!!! Farmers worked hard, still do. Today our society has changed and many of us are stuck behind desks and are on the run so much that the food we eat and unhealthy habits we have formed have been problematic to our overall health, posture, spinal health, obesity, amongst others. There is more disease than ever before in this country, much which has been our own doing, but even more so, the culture and environmental factors around us contribute to dis-ease and our unnecessary stressful liv...

Monday - Day 3

OH YES!!!  Today certainly was a Monday .  I would of thought with as much food prep as I did Saturday and Sunday, the morning would have been a bit more smooth. Of course not -- but they never are on Mondays! It doesn't help that we have relatively small kitchen space.  When we bought our townhouse and my daughter visited for the first time, one of the first things she commented on was about the size of the kitchen.  Truthfully, someone who likes to cook -  I really do!  - needs larger work space.  But I've never had it. The workday routine is quite full.  My alarm went off at 4:30, out of bed by 4:40 and was on my mat for 20 minutes of stretching right after a trip to the bathroom.  By 5:30 I was down in the kitchen getting breakfast and lunch prepared, eat, and to be out of the house by 6:45 to walk before work.  Have I made you tired yet? Even lunch was rushed since I needed to go out and pick up the SP Pro Complete. Needless to say ...
