I feel as if I’ve been lifted over a fence and the path from here is all down hill. Plain sailing. Easy street. So much so that I’m signed up for the 21-day Kickstart being promoted by the PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine), which starts on March 1. Twenty one days vegan.

A sample menu for a day for the cleanse would be similar to what I ate today.
Breakfast: green smoothie
Lunch: big “kitchen sink” salad
Dinner: apple

Now, don’t be disillusioned when I say “apple”, this baby was humungous – a Pink Lady apple from my local Fresh Market store. I’ve been drinking a couple of cups of Green Tea Kombucha (Yogi) because the liters and liters of water just aren’t cutting it. I know that’s not the right attitude, my skin is actually really dry so I do need to try to drink more water.

Other things I’ve noticed? Not much, really. I had a killer headache yesterday and could’t bear to listen to TV or look at a computer screen, so I went to bed early with a couple of ibuprofen and slept it off.

Having been “lifted”, I’m now looking forward to the remaining four days.

I’m about to embark on the The Raw Divas 7-day raw food detox program. Starting Saturday. After the Kiwanis fundraising pancake breakfast.

I just don’t feel good. I have a full blown sinus infection which is not only messing with my head, but my chest too. I think it’s time to just flush the system and start over.

I’ve done this particular detox in the past, and …..

wait …..

I just remembered that Laura invited us over for supper on Sunday. Better make that a Monday start.

As I was saying …

… it is a very tolerable fast, the green smoothies really freak people out, yet they taste so good!

My body is currently overflowing with symptoms of toxicity … I won’t go into them all, you can read them on the divas page for yourself. Let’s just say that I have 16 of those checkmarked “symptoms”, and no, I won’t elaborate on that!

Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds. I can do this again! I’ll keep you updated, of course, on a daily basis. Remember, MONDAY is the starting day!
