Cleansing

So working for yourself can have its pitfalls...getting sick. Getting sick is never any fun, but in a normal job you still get paid when having to take a "sick day". You don't have that option when you are self-employed - your business can just STOP or you don't stop and end up getting worse because you never took the time to rest and heal... I have been sick A LOT in the last couple of months (the start of the busiest staging season, I may point out) and need to take the time and make the effort to get well again. Our immune system is controlled 70-80% by our "gut", so if you don't eat right your body knows it because your defences are left damaged. When I get too busy, I tend to lapse on the proper eating, or I forget to eat - neither being good, especially for weight loss (which incidentally, is also one of the plates that are spinning right now). I have decided to "stop the madness" as an annoying health advocate used to say on TV... I am cleansing (nothing crazy - just cutting out a lot of stuff that bogs down the body functions) in hopes that my immune system can have something to work with again and I start to get back on track health-wise. After all, I am RSDR basically - if I am not able to work... well, you know. I'll let you know how it goes in the next couple of weeks. If successful, will let you know the plan details - hopefully it can help others that may be in a similar situation!
