Day Four RAW!
Emails in my in box this morning and a green smoothie helped me so much this AM!

BODY- I think I might have overstated the detox symptoms so far... I am having a bit of an upset stomach (acidic) with headache in the PM and then loose stool and a bit of a headache in the AM . The rest of the day is fine.. in fact great... I think I have gotten a taste of what it will be like once I get through detox

SO here are the POSITIVE side effects I have seen so far:

• Taste buds are woken up (hard to explain)
• Clearer head (not right now, but I have had this more than not)
• Body not as achy (aches in my body that I thought were just my age went away)

It seems like already the positive outweighs the negative symptoms...
Everyday the detox symptoms have gotten worse, so I will just do it til it is unbearable... I am getting to the point where I can see if I just hold firm my body will get into some deep cleansing. So I want to press on.. IF it gets to be too much.. Do not worry, I have veggie broth and veggies ready to go for a veggie soup to slow it down.

This morning is the worst so far:
Headache
Stuffy / Allergy symptoms (but not as bad as a cold)
Energy low
Weird taste in my mouth / bad breathe (Astrid made sure I knew about that one) :)

But, I seem to cycle and this goes away by mid morning... So we will see. I can handle it though!!!!

The best news... I am craving.. But the only cravings I have had are for raw fruits and veggies... Craving lots of lemon water...

FOOD: Yesterday 100% Raw except for 4 flax seed tortilla chips (my family ate them with the spread I made)
And would highly recommend trying it:

• Pumpkin seeds
• Dehydrated tomatoes (they now sell these at Whole Foods- at low temp it says)
• Paprika
• Lemon
• Water

It was better before I over blended it.. I will leave it choppy next time. Really good with Red and Yellow and green bell peppers!

YEAH! I am doing it! There is some doubt, that this will work for me... But less and less obviously!
