Get Naked With Tania http://www.getnakedwithtania.com Busines Success Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:22:51 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 DAY 4: My Body’s At War http://www.getnakedwithtania.com/2012/01/day-4-my-bodys-at-war/ http://www.getnakedwithtania.com/2012/01/day-4-my-bodys-at-war/#comments Wed, 04 Jan 2012 05:14:22 +0000 Tania Usher http://www.getnakedwithtania.com/?p=3000 Day 4 DARE Challenge:  

After 3 days of feeling fantastic, I woke today with a headache and waves of nausea.

I understand that often, when undertaking a detoxification, your body releases toxins into the bloodstream as a way of commencing the healing process.  Symptoms can include headaches (ranging in severity), moodiness, and nausea as the body starts cleansing and eliminating waste. 


CHALLENGE #4:  When you wake with a detox ‘hangover’, at first it seems like the perfect excuse for staying in bed a little longer.  Exercising doesn’t seem to marry well with an upset stomach and headache.  Yet, there’s more to us than our physical body.  Our entire wellbeing is also wrapped up with our mentally and spiritually health.  
 
So knowing how much my head loves a morning walk along the beach, off I wandered.  And thanks to the amazing healing power of the ocean, after 10 minutes, I started feeling much better.  Admittedly I didn’t walk for my usual hour, instead after about 30 minutes I opted to sit and reflect on my challenge thus far…slowing down is also a great healing mechanism.  
 
By mid afternoon there was no more headache or nausea. 

VERDICT:  Initially my morning aches sapped my enthusiasm slightly and reduced the ‘high’ I’d been feeling the last few days.  Nonetheless, I’m delighted to know my body is ridding itself of debris that is holding me back.

With this insight I became excited knowing that I’m moving into a higher level of health and vitality.  The perfect way to start a new year.

OK, today’s my first gasping moment with this challenge!  
 
Was a little over zealous with my juice ingredients this morning.  Clearly it’s not a case of ramming every fruit or veg within reach into the juicer…some form of balance is required.
 
Happened to have a whole bunch of celery on my bench, which became the inspiration for this morning’s juice.  Wanting to make the most of the entire stalk, I opted to juice leaves and all.  So 6 sticks of celery later, I added carrot, an apple, handful of mint and slice of ginger.
 
I’m sure it would have tasted fantastic had it not been for my celery overdose which made the concoction way too bitter.  However, after learning that drinking raw juice in the morning is beneficial for loading your body with nutrients for the day, I drunk up.
 
Being determined to soak up the nutrients I persevered through my entire glass and tossed my refill down the sink.
 
Lesson learnt, less is best…when it comes to celery leaves.
 

CHALLENGE #3: Had an unexpected experience today.  I’ve started craving bananas and lemons.  What’s unusual is that I don’t particularly like bananas.  And the only lemons I tend to eat are the ones squeezed into my favourite dessert, lemon tarts.  
 
So figure it’s my body telling me something, maybe prompting me to have more potassium with the bananas.  Listening to my body I get the feeling the craving for lemons is about freshness and tang…although am sure there’s something more scientific or nutritional at play.

VERDICT:  It’s DAY 3 and almost time to start connecting with the raw experts to help answer some of my questions.  Of course the internet is an amazing resource centre, yet nothing quite beats asking one-on-one questions and gaining tailored support.

So looking forward to introducing you to our ‘dare challenge’ experts very soon.

No matter what area of life you’re focusing on, there comes a time when you need some new ingredients.  Whether it’s new Facebook strategies (generally a monthly occurrence), tips for getting in front of the camera or locating organic cacao butter, the search begins with the questions:

"What do I need?"

"Where will I find them?"

"How much will they cost?"

I discovered all these answers today.  

What do I need?

After scouring my folder of collected raw recipes, I was keen to get into the kitchen and whip up some tasty treats.  My list was long and included several items I’d never heard of, such as Peruvian Mesquite and Lucuma powders!  A lengthy online search enlightened me on the values of that these (and other) exotic foods.  The potency of nutrients ranged from being a high protein staple for desert dwellers to a revered food source with the prestigious title "Gold of the Incas".   

Where will I find them?

Online and local searching revealed an abundant array of suppliers.  Humm…the search for ingredients was going to be more overwhelming that I’d anticipated.  As I scoured pages of raw related websites from around the world, I knew I needed to narrow my search.  Delving a little deeper I began learning about the growers, ethics and values of the various suppliers.  The list reduced dramatically.
 
As well as my new online ‘friends’ I was excited to find a local bulk food barn. Excitedly I descended on the store with my list and several recycled shopping bags.  I was expecting big things, sadly I was disappointed.  The staff were less than excited about my ‘dare challenge’ and long list of questions.  Fortunately I was able to purchase mainstream items such as a variety of nuts and raw cacao powder. However locating anything slightly ‘unusual’ as I was told (even sulphur-free dried fruit) was a challenge.  Only joy in the dried fruit department was tracking down some Turkish apricots.
 
How much will they cost?
 
It’s a tragedy that eating take away food containing NO nutritional value costs relatively little, yet nutrient rich food, which would ensure the good health of a nation, is costly by comparison.  I’ve always been a fan of quality, whether it’s investing in my health, education or business, and the ’dare challenge’ is no different.  Nonetheless, as much of the foods in raw ‘cooking’ is used in large quantities, such as beans and grains, I can see the value of purchasing bulk.
 
Upon visiting the farmers market, I purchase the ‘seconds’ for food I was planning to juice or puree.  Just as fresh, just a little softer. Likewise, I purchased an entire bag of grapes for just $1.  They’d fallen off the vine so had been packaged up for quick sale. They’re now in my freezer providing a great ‘sorbet snack’ whenever I fancy a sweet treat.
 

CHALLENGE #2:  Once I’d familiarised myself with the numerous recipes available and compiled a pantry and fresh food list, I found it easier to plan my shopping (both online and offline).
 
Locating all the raw ingredients to create the diversity in my eating plan was much more challenging than anticipated.  Similar to buying so called ‘natural’ foods, some items at first appeared solid candidates for a raw diet, although were not.  I found it was important to verify with the supplier and clarify uncertain ingredients. 

VERDICT:  Felt very excited to have most of my ingredients on hand. Having several favourite stores bookmarked in my browser will make it easier to replenish supplies.

My body defiantly feels ‘cleaner’ and I I’m yet to experience any pangs or denial. Great news for DAY 2.

Woke up excited to commence the first 2012 ‘dare challenge’.  

Before heading off on my morning beach walk, I created a yummy juice (apple, mint, ginger and pineapple).  What I love about fresh juice is how you can almost feel the nutrients ‘exploding’ throughout your body with every mouthful. 

Burleigh Headland, on Australia’s gorgeous Gold Coast, is the perfect place to spend the first day of the year.  Something about looking out across the pristine Pacific Ocean reminds you that ANYTHING is possible.

Taking a bundle of RAW recipes, I mapped out the next few days of tasty delights. Can’t wait to share all the treats with everyone who joked "So you’ll be eating carrots and celery for a month…good luck!".  In fact, my meat eating man loved the ‘Chilli Nut Balls’ plus the ‘Green Mango Smoothie’.  So while Steve’s not planning on going raw for an entire month, he’s definitely on the journey with me.  

My girls are still away so am yet to gauge their response to some of my meal choices.  Although they both love juicing so Mia’s excited about her favourite pineapple, celery and ginger each morning…perfect way give kids an instant vitamin boost.


CHALLENGE #1:  OK, DAY 1 and there’s a hurdle already!  Steve and I decided to watch the sunset at a brand new restaurant/ bar in Burleigh.  Perfect location for watching the waves rolling.  Warm day so my lime (pure juice not the syrup) and soda went down well. Although as far as food went, not a raw option on the menu.  Reluctantly my hungry beau ordered the trio of dips and while they looked delicious, I resisted even a morsel.

Instead, upon returning home, whipped up a batch of the ‘Chilli Nut Balls’ which were divine.  Made enough for tomorrow so good for conserving time and energy.

 

VERDICT:  Every mouthful of DAY 1 felt like I was honouring my body.  Went to bed feeling light and excited about the next 30 days.

January dare Challenge

Get Raw and Juicy  

Starting New Years Day, 2012 I’ll be consuming nothing but raw food for 31 days.  While I know my body will love me for it, I’m certain there will be challenges to face such as two weeks vacation, several birthday celebrations and a number of social engagements.  Plus a host of hurdles to leap that I haven’t even considered…after all that’s why it’s called a challenge.

And the exciting part is…I’m taking you on the journey with me.

Each day throughout January I’ll be blogging my insights, progress, challenges and revealing the good, bad and the ugly of this month’s dare challenge.

I’ll be sharing some of my favourite meals, snapshots and video snippets. Plus introducing you to raw experts from around the world and sharing their valuable advice.

Throughout the month I’ll strip back and expose the mindset shifts needed to keep true to the dare challenge.  Shifts you may be making right now in various areas of your life.  Or shifts you may need to start making.
