No More Meds

So, the beginning of the year I made a conscious decision that I am going to go as long as I can without putting anytime of medication into my body. No cough syrup, no Tylenol, no ibuprofen, nothing...I have made it this far March 27, 2012...the other day I thought about having a cough drop for my sore throat, but thought again and had some tea and honey...I've been stopped up for a few days now...used the netti pot this morning and seem to be doing better. HOwever, i still feel about 80%...a little stopped up and a little ache over the eye. I'm pretty determined and set on this decision though...and then I began thinking ...if I'm cutting out medications except for my vitamins - fish oil and D...why the hell am I still putting alcohol into my body...all those toxins. THink about all those twisting poses I'll need to do to detoxify my kidneys and liver...whoa the joys of aging like fine wine and being a yogi ~

Alcohol and drinking is such an acceptable social activity it's everywhere you look...from a glass a wine with dinner to champagne to celebrate a special occasion to shots shots shots for someone's bday or just because. Granted I can go without, but somedays I just want a glass a wine - and some days I want some vodka. The ole saying from mom always is in the back of my head...and the older I get the more and more I'm using her quotes "everything in moderation"

Idk - I guess I'm just at a road block or stuck point or something...I want to be super healthy and active and role model, but somedays...i just want a drink. hmmmmmmm

Namaste.
