i'm on a HUGE health kick. like TOTAL. today is the first day of my detox/fast... basically i'm eating loads of veg and fruits in specific combinations for a week before i actually fast. to prepare my body properly... what's cool is that i have to sprinkle stuff like Spirulina (blue-green algae) on all my food, and my tongue looks like it came out of 3rd grade after eating a blue ring pop.
i'm also on a very strict work-out regimine... today is DAY 2... i'm following this 30-day physcial activity detox/physical meditation/cleanse programme out of some new-age book that was only £2. it's cool. I feel so alert today already, and it's only just started... i don't feel hungry, and i have lots of energy... so hopefully i can stay determined, motavated and disciplined to keep up this whole hippy-body-mind-cleansing process cuz i really want to experience the whole thing.
i slept so much last night, which was great because i didn't have to wake up for anything, and really felt like i kicked a cold that was starting to happen. so now i'm totally fit.
although i had a lot of strange dreams, more so than usual (last week, lots of weird dreams)... but last night i was talking about my fear of spidars, and how i want to hold a HUGE teranchula, and then this HUGE worm that was covered in like hard-green yogurt fell out of this HUGE salad bowl in the sky, and it was like the size of King-Kong, and no one cared... also i had a dream that mel (on my flat) ate all my oranges, and so i cooked this weird thing where i was boiling his eggs in water with pieces of bread and it was disgusting and TOTALLY not vegan... but i never ended up eating it... altho a couple days ago i also had this dream where i was eating meat... like some sort of gross hamburger... and i didn't start spitting it out till like the 4th bite, and it was so repulsive... i didn't even want to do it in my dream... i think it's also like the fact that all 12 people i share a kitchen with eat meat, and it's constantly around... then the barbeque.... and it's like my surroundings influence me so much... and probably my fear of not being able to hold onto MY OWN sense of self... morals... body... and i know that some crappy person is gonna say that it's a sign that maybe i'm mal-nurished or something, and need to eat meat- or am craving it... which i doubt. just the thought gives me shivers of repulsion. but i could argue is another reason why i really want to keep this detox/fast going... (it's VEGAN!) and i'm learning loads about body maintance, proper nutrition, and most effective food-combos for improved long-term health.
anyway, i guess part of the weird dreams is all the toxins being released out of my system... i've stopped drinking coffee and caffine (even TEA!!! only herbal... it's TOUGH!) and so i think it's effecting my sleep... hopefully it will all sort itself out in the next week or so, and i can get the rhythm in my new routine.
ok, the sun is kind of out... so i'm gonna read some more of The Time Traveller's Wife out by the lake... the book is alright, but after Dharma Punx seems worthless. better than shakespeare for exams tho.
