Season for Detox – Day 20

By the way, another benefit from this experience is a deeper feeling spiritually about life. I’ve always been a spiritually focused person. However, this experience seems different in that I feel more connected to my life purpose and the desire to be honest about what I really want to do at this time in my life. That is HUGE for me. Somehow instead of feeling I have to be all things to all people, I realize that I need first to give my all to my God. I think in many ways, like many others, I feel I’m doing this already but now realize that I’ve tried to hold on and take control of much of my life by myself. This is a refreshing and humbling revelation. Who knew eating clean, fresh, foods could become a spiritual experience? Praise God!

Season of Detox – Day 19

It’s so good to be back on track. This was still a travel day but I was fortunate to be able to get back on track with my detox as well as exercising. It was great to spend an extra night in San Francisco relaxing after a long weekend. Sometimes, traveling can be more tiresome than staying at home for the weekend. Anyway, this morning I had a teleseminar so didn’t really get anything to eat. That was the bad part. I didn’t have fruit so skipped my smoothie. Besides, the kale looked a bit wilted after three days. So meal one wiwas with family at BJ’s Restuarant. Fortunately, I know that they have salads and potatoes. White potatoes are not the best choice for a detox because of their high startch levels but they’re better than nothing.

Season of Detox – Day 18

This was another difficult day for my detox experience. We are attending a special church service here in San Francisco so we’re dealing with long hours being in church services, short breaks and more long hours in services. Breakfast was another smoothie and the raw almonds and raisins (yes I need to change up on that a bit). The first service didn’t get out until after 1:00. By then I was really hungry.

Season for Detox – Day 17

Day 17 was a difficult day for the detox although it was a fun day in San Francisco.  I brought my Blendtec Blender along with foods for a green smoothie each day.  Lunch was at an Indian restaurant which offered

Season for Detox – Day 16

I’m so excited about continuing with this detox. I feel I could be doing a better job. I realized that making these posts helps with the accountability that helps with motivation to keep going. I’ve strayed a bit from the original food choices I had selected to use over the 28 days. This was mostly due to curiosity about a new way of eating raw and some boredom with the set of recipes I had to support this detox.

Season for Detox – Day 15

I’m posting late for day’s 15 and 16 although I wrote my information in a food journal. One thing I probably haven’t emphasized enough is the need to keep a good food journal while you’re on your detox and for weight loss purposes. A food journal is a private and intense way to help you take control of your eating and eating habits. By tracking what you eat and when you eat it, an analysis can be done to determine how your health is developing. These daily posts are a basic example of a food journal type posting.

Season for Detox – Day 14

This is a milestone day – the end of two weeks of detoxing. This is the longest detox I’ve attempted. I realized early this morning that those cold symptoms I was having weren’t really a cold, but detox symptoms. It’s very common to have what seems like a cold or flu when on an extended detox. That’s because the body is shaking off toxins that have been locked into cells for a long period of time.

Season for Detox – Day 13

Wow, almost two weeks. I’m feeling good. Starting to see where I’m losing some fat too which is fabulous and great motivation to keep going. I don’t know if I’ll stop for Thanksgiving next week or just keep going. I absolutely love the first holiday turkey dinner for the year so it will be difficult to miss out on that. Three weeks will be good but I’ll have to start weaning off of the detox before then or I might feel a bit ill from the rich food and turkey. That means I’ll have to make up my mind about this no later than this weekend.

Season for Detox – Day 12

I actually missed posting my detox experience yesterday. Funny how you can almost forget what you ate in a very short period of time. What I do remember is that I decided to go back to the basics of the detox. I think I started using too many spices at once after being off of them for a week. Not that I blew the detox. Everything I ate was good for that; it was just a bit too much at once. For instance, I usually include in each meal onions, garlic and some ginger. All of these are great for the digestive system and for the detox.
