Day 2 - Pre Cleanse

It rained all night and I found myself waking up every hour or so to the most strangest noise outside. It sounded like a cow with an accordion every few minutes, It would finally stop only to restart again. At 6am I gave in and got up.

7am I headed over to the wellness centre where I met some of the other people detoxing. Most were on their sixth or seventh day and three being on their last day and leaving tomorrow. All provided the same feedback, stick with it, there are good days and bad days and don't be afraid to nap when exhausted.... reality check that this is not a holiday!

I was greeted by Pookie, a lovely Thai lady who quickly got me set up with a bag full of goodies. I had decided before arriving to complete one day pre cleanse, seven day power cleanse and one day post cleanse. I pulled out my schedule and was put right to work.

First was a honey and apple cider vinegar drink which I was worried to drink although it actually tasted quite nice. Then we all headed down to the beach for the morning ritual (Yoga). It was a beautiful spot with the waves crashing on the beach only a few meters away. I was thankful for all the yoga I had done previously and was able to master most of the moves although that did not stop me from working up a sweat.

After yoga we all participated in 'the circle' where we sat around and talked about how yesterday was, what we wanted to achieve today and drew a card from a fairy pack while sipping on more tea. I drew the 'parenting and children' card which was about families and having good relationships with them, it also could indicate new arrivals into the family by marriage or birth and thought about my new nephew and step nephew due in a few months.

Afterward we headed back to the wellness centre where I was given a shot of zeolite together with a cloudy bottle of water which had something put in it for blood flow. My blood pressure was taken at 130/70 which I was surprised about as I have always had good blood pressure but have put that down to having a cold. I weighed in at 64.9kg and clearly had enjoyed my food and beer while Dave was here a little too much!

In only 3 hours I don't think I have ever drank so much liquid in my life resulting in needing to go to the toilet far more regularly than normal.

10am it is now time to head back to the wellness centre for a green smoothie.
