Chasing Waterfalls

 For Annie’s last day in the ‘boat we decided to go hiking up Fish Creek. Lucky for us, it was another beautiful day! We spent four hours hiking up to the falls, taking pictures of the techno-colored trees, and lounging on the rocks. In honor of our “last supper” with Anndoggy, I made my famous coconut curry dish (completely Clean).

Going into my second week Clean, I thought it would be good to reflect… I honestly feel the first week on the program I ate too much. Since it said I could eat nut-butters, and I fell in love with an organic raw almond butter, I miiiiight have went a little nutty. So, I have decided to remove nut-butter for the next couple days and see how I feel.  I also re-read parts of Clean to see what it said, which was very helpful. It mentions that the second week your body really starts to detox deeper so there could be more discomforts, but you must still eat—good to know! Tomorrow I will drink my dinner!! I never thought I would find myself “forcing” food down on a cleanse haha
