Strategies for detox

Day 157 RAW 237 lbs.













And at 6pm which is about 40 minutes away I am starting my first ever fast from food. I never could do this before because of blood sugar stuff. Granted it is only a day. Then, 6 more days of detox, just fruit and veg. Exciting.

I am within sneezing distance to my under 200 lbs goal which felt like it might not be attainable a whole lot of times to me. Now, I KNOW I can do it and I am planning my celebration when I do.
Haircut and maybe a manicure / pedicure.

I am going to make myself a green smoothie just to get me into the spirit of the thing before I start the fast. I am a little worried about my big work day (sunday) being my fast day. It is not exactly a day of rest for me. So, that makes me more than a little apprehensive. But on the plus side I will be busy and will not be focusing on food. So, that will actually help a lot. By the time I am done with church in the evening, it will be time to eat something.

Strategies for the detox:

Watermelon- I have noticed that when I feel hungry Watermelon helps curve my appetite. I have a half a watermelon and I also bought some honey dew (my fave) and Cantaloupe.

RAWvolution Hummus- (I am allowing this) I am also whipping up some veg based dressings for salads. This is the hardest part.

Mono eating- I am just going to eat a fruit or veg until I do not want it anymore... then onto something else... I will let you know how this works for me.

GREENS- I am going to make sure I get PLENTY of greens. Green smoothies in the AM and PM most likely.



So, there we go. I am going to try to "move" daily... but I am also going to allow for detox symptoms and plenty of rest.

I am really wanting a rebounder all of the sudden. I feel like I can work it in so easily to my day.
Maybe that should be my reward? I do not think I can afford one just now... except a cheap one, that I do not think will be the same.

Here's to the detox... better go make my smoothie before it is 6 o clock!
