Day Nine Raw

Happy Halloween!

I did not have one bite of candy! And better yet, I did not want any! I did give serious thought to not having it around at all... But I do not want to go too fast with my family and have them resenting me for it. It is the one time a year I have candy in the house (well, there is usually a little in stockings at Christmas). Astrid did her annual trick or treating and we gathered the candy, chose a few pieces to eat and a few to save and gave the rest to the "sugar sprite" who will come and give her a small token gift in return. This is a great Waldorf tradition that will stay with us. The sprite left a glitter trail and a card game and stamp this year. Anyway, all the candy is out of the house.

I had some of my "nutella" spread and apples at the end of the night with Astrid... Which was a perfect Halloween treat! I am very proud and happy with myself.

I am feeling much better today. This morning I had some stomach upset (acidic again) and realized I was having detox symptoms yesterday and this morning... But they improved and I feel very energetic again. Extra Green smoothy for dinner again ...it just seems to be what I need.
