January = Detox time & 50% off health products today and tomorrow.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been gluttonous this month. I generally “pick my poisons” but I feel like there have been more poisons to pick from recently. I’ve repeatedly punched my liver (not literally) with alcohol and by my own standards I’ve been eating poorly. I’ve been eating out a lot, spending a TON of money on meals. It’s been fantastic, and unsustainable for my body and my wallet. It’s been like a vacation without leaving the city or taking time off work, one that will have to come to an end because it isn’t healthy long term. I make no apologies for occasionally eating unhealthy and I’ve been doing it because I want to. Whereas some people will choose to blame “temptation” or other people, or see it as a weakness or personality flaw, which it isn’t, I take personal responsibility for what I put into my body. It’s delicious and you only live once. However, I have no desire to eat myself into illness or disease, and I’m happy that Drunkcember comes but once a year.

I wanted to do a significant post about this on Saturday or Sunday to provide one week notice but the other post took over. Instead, here’s what I’ve got time for before I head to work (I’m a slow blogger):

This time it’s on a weekend, which I think makes it even easier. In the past – and she’s facilitated, what, four of these now? – it was during the week. I imagine that a weekend Friday-Sunday smoothie cleanse is ideal because it removes the challenge/excuse of planning smoothies for work. The remaining challenge is social commitments, but weekends are a good time to relax and recharge and take a break from the social commitments. Personally, most of my social plans tend to be during the week. Some weekends I want to be a hermit.

I encourage you all to participate in this relatively simple, three-day, mid-summer cleanse. You may be skeptical but it’s worth a shot, right? You might get something out of it. If you don’t feel positively affected by it in any way after participating fully and with an open mind you’ve got more ammo for your argument about why you think they’re pointless. (I believe that you don’t know unless you try and one can’t insist that something health related doesn’t work without having experienced it.)  Here’s what Meghan says to first timers, cynics and those who live “on beer and fast food”.

Buy your copy here.

Of course, if this weekend doesn’t work for you you could do a three-day cleanse on your own if you feel like you could fully participate without the support, or wait for Meghan’s next facilitated cleanse. If memory serves (Meghan, help me out here?)  since spring 2009 she’s lead 3 or 4. Knowing her she’s got the next dates planned. I can see how a weekend at a cottage with barbecue and frosty alcoholic beverages (even Smirnoff Ice) would be more appealing than 3 days of nothing but smoothies. Hell I want such an invitation (minus the Ice). In this case I’d actually encourage you to wait for the next facilitated cleanse if it’s your first time so that you can get the support, but that’s just me. Why not buy the tutorial now if you haven’t already, read through it, and participate when the timing is best for you? Or, incorporate some of the ideas into your every day life now and do an actual cleanse when the time feels right. Every change, no matter how small, makes an impact.

This edition has recipes submitted by her blog readers. One of those recipes came from me, another from my sister. It really is new and improved.

Click here to hear how you can win a copy of Meghan’s brand spanking new Guided Meditation Program! Enter by day end Friday.

I’ve started tweeting “smoothie of the day” (sometimes referred to as “SmOTD”) every morning from Monday to Friday. I’ll try to get into the habit of hashtagging these.

Eat well, be well.

Contest for frilly things

My favourite nutritionist, Meghan, is hosting a contest over at her blog. Because she’s my favourite nutritionist and I find her adorable (look at that punim! And have you seen her YouTube videos?); and because I want more chances to win something that will make me feel good or have one of you win if I don’t, I’m promoting it here at Andrea the Gastronaut.

Win A Cute As Cute Can Be Kitchen Apron From Julie’s Aprons!

Go on over to her blog to see how to enter.

My favourite aprons by Julie? Well, my first list was 9 out of her 35 styles. My top three favourites (click for more views and details):

It has tulle. TULLE!

I love the sweat heart neckline on this and others in the “Sofia” line.

and

I like the neck line, the colours and the pockets.

Looking at these aprons makes me want to be a 50s housewife and sing songs about feeling pretty. If you want a chance to win, and/or want to increase my chances, click here.

Also, When you’re on the contest web page you can’t help but notice the banner that advertises the new edition of her green smoothie cleanse tutorial.   I’ll blog about it later this week, but for now I’ll say that it is bigger and better than before (I got an advance copy), and my sister and I both contributed recipes to it (hence my copy, although I’d like to think that I’m that special to Meghan). My sister and I don’t coordinate these things but I kind of indoctrinated her into Meghanism and she’s surpassed me. She contributed to Summer Sipping. It was an easy indoctrination for many reasons. We share similar interests and opinions when it comes to health. I’ve indoctrinated so many people that we could start our own camp.

GO ENTER.

(I know, I needn’t shout.)

Eat well, be well.
