health matters...

Ok, I need to seriously get off my arse and do something about my health. I am not unhealthy (that I know of), in fact, I have regular blood tests (well, annually) and I'm always in tip top shape (medically that is, not physically!). I'm not sure how I'm healthy medically, my liver has really had a beating since my early 20's. These days, I am not a binge drinker (except maybe weddings...yes...last time I got completely smashed was November 2008 at a friends wedding and I regretted it the next day with Miss M only being 11 months old!).

Someone who inspires me on a daily basis is one extraordinary person. I read up on blogs/websites all of the time about natural health. But someone particularly stands out. Her name is Jessica Ainscough. I just really look up to how much she's achieved. Her Wellness Warrior blog is inspirational and full of great information if you're thinking of going down the healthy road.

I've always wanted a spiritual room in my home. Somewhere to sit and meditate, relax, read my angel cards and just receive messages not only from Mary (my spirit guide) but the angels. They all talk to me often enough and it's hard to concentrate on their messages at times with two toddlers running around at your feet. Jessica posted something very special the other day about her own meditation space/room. It got me thinking about how I've wanted one of those rooms, for a long time. Only now can I truly focus on what I want to do with my life. As the kids grow, life seems to get a bit easier. Nobody likes sleep deprivation with babies and it really can screw up your head. I've got a calling. It's been happening for a while now and I get closer and closer to it, each day of my life. Messages and events happen too often and push me in the direction I must go, if I choose to. Getting back to focusing these days, well, that's another blog post!

As it's my birthday coming up in a couple of weeks, I think I deserve to splash out and buy myself one of these awesome meditation chairs (again, thanks Jess for posting the link to me) - http://www.blackdragonseats.com.au/products.htm - don't they look fantastic? With a bent coccyx, I can't sit on cushions on the floor. Good old childbirth bent it and only a surgical operation can bend it back into place (and even then, it's not guaranteed) - so as my physio says, look after yourself, be the healthiest you can be and use this special coccyx cushion on chairs etc (not the best looking cushion but it does help). I'm also after a couch, sofa or futon for my spiritual room. I have my yoga mat but I'd also love a coffee table to put my crystals and angel cards on. So, that's the little project at the moment.

Regarding health, the G-Unit constantly tells me he's sick of boring old breakfasts, good old cereal with fruit. He wants a change too. Actually, he's told me he'd love to be vegetarian again, we tried it for about 6 months when we lived in the unit and I must say, we'd never felt so fantastic. I remember one night, I gave in and had tacos for dinner with beef mince. I vomited all night. I really think it was the universe punishing me for doing such a great job eating the vego diet. I don't begrudge anyone who enjoys a big, fat, juicy, bleeding steak. But it's your choice and we're all different. The vegetarian diet just suits us very well and we enjoy it. I really think super smoothies for breakfast would be beneficial. We have a great blender that sits in the back of the cupboard, time to rinse the dust off it and get to it! Plus losing 8 more kilos is all I need to lose to look and feel 150% better!

And on a more taboo topic, coffee enemas. Read about them here - http://thewellnesswarrior.blogspot.com/2010/04/friend-or-enema.html - am strongly thinking of detoxifying my liver and giving them a go. So now your acquainted with my bodily functions, how do you feel?!! I'm willing to give anything a go to feel awesome, after all, a healthy body = a healthy mind. Energy and wellbeing is everything when you have two toddlers to run after.
