Today is Saturday and I have decided to celebrate with my daughter’s fabulous beans on Sunday. So today, I will eat raw for the most part and will give myself permission to eat the beans.

I really want to think more consciously about what I do. I feel so terrific, having this permission isn’t really all that great. Why change something that is working For one thing, I want to stay on the path I have chosen. Not making a plan in the past has lead to failure and I want to stay healthy.

My husband is doing a lot of the cooking for our party tomorrow and that is great. I will do some things that don’t take too much trouble, but I notice that cooking doesn’t bother me like I thought it would. And I begin to remember how I never had a caffeine headache. I just stopped the day of my first detox and didn’t think about it. Strange but true. I do recognize triggers of old familiar ways around parties though. I am not a drinker or smoker, so that isn’t it, but sweets and carbs were my friends. I remember on Easter how everyone sat and ate, and ate, and I just ate my planned meal. Sure is a kick! We will see tomorrow.
