Detox

So, I posted on Saturday night about wanting to do this 5 day cleanse and then I took it down. Why you ask? Well....
So I set a schedule starting with an all water fast on Sunday. I was doing good all yesterday, I even went to a couple movies so that I wouldn't be tempted to eat, so I get home and its getting close to 9:00pm and I caved and had some artichokes. But not just artichokes, but artichokes dipped in butter (vegan butter-as if that excuses anything) and garlic. By the way, garlic smell is not a good look on anybody. I guess I know how to keep my annoying boss out of my office today.
So anyway I kinda botched the fast and made up my mind to not do the cleanse. But it totally rubbed me the wrong way all night. To error is human right? So I am going ahead with the cleanse as planned.
So before you get all freaked out by what I am doing, its a good one. I am not taking any celebrity endorsed products or medicine, just a program that I made up by doing some research.
Sunday- Water all day (oops except for a couple of artichokes)
Monday and Tuesday- Just juice. So when I say this, I mean I ground up a bunch of fruits and veggies into my food processor along with some distilled water. Today's juice is all about the carrots, celery, mango's, strawberry's and a banana thrown in. It was yum and surprising filling. I had to make a big batch because of work, so the other half is in my mini fridge here by my desk.
Wednesday-Friday is an all raw fruits and veggies. That just means nothing cooked.
I also can have as much water as I want this whole week. Hopefully this cleanse will get my body feeling refreshed and get my diet back on track.
Wish me luck.

  2. good luck. I have done a clease from a nature store before. I didn't notice any difference. But Becca did a clease when she couldn't get prego she did a clease and was preg in 5 weeks. I think it is a good thing to do once or twice a year.
