#365 - Detox day 4

Had no real cravings yesterday. Yes, I could have eaten DH's fish, rice and Veggies,... but it was ok.
Headache and back pain went away too, guess it was a reaction to the Yoga, doesn't mean I stop that :D
This morning I'll try this new Video by Candace and maybe doing the morning one before, we'll see.

Slept really well, except for having to pee in the middle of the night and then again shortly before the alarm went off. Will most likely crash again at some point today :-)

Breakfast: Juice: 2 carrots, 2 cucumbers, 3 pieces of Ginger, 1 green apple, 1 tomato (forgot the orange, sigh ;-))

From 365 - 2014

Did this Yoga / Meditation Video and the one for Breathing.

Of course took a two hour nap, sigh :-)

Lunch: Juice: 2 carrots, 1 red apple, 2 red beets, 2 pieces of Ginger, some parsley & Dill, 2 zucchini

Afternoon: Caved in with a smoothie, was starting a slight headache and my Avocados had to go anyway ;-)
Smoothie: 1 Avocado, 2 small oranges, 1 Banana, 5 Strawberries

Hibiscus tea

#365 - Detox day 3

Yesterdays experience and todays ongoing headache and back pain tells me that my body isn't ready yet for a full juice (hence Fiber free) detox.
I am adding at least two smoothies to the day, one in the morning and one maybe after Lunch.

Before breakfast: 1/2 lemon, juice in hot water
Breakfast: Smoothie (6 Strawberries, 1 Banana, 1/2 Cantaloupe, 1 Kiwi, 1 red apple, added some water to get it smooth)

Did my 15-minute morning Yoga after breakfast, because I almost forgot. Didn't feel as bad as on
Monday :D

Doc visit went ok, had to wait quite a bit and got some rumbling stomach, aka I got hungry, 

but survived with sips of water.

Coming home, I took a nap, planned an hour but stayed abed for two. It's not like I'm gonna miss 

anything ;-)

Even before Lunch, am not feeling very hungry and the dizziness I had all day yesterday is pretty much gone too. So is my back pain and headache for now. Hope it stays that way.

Lunch: 2 carrots, 1 Zucchini, 2 cucumbers, 3 tomatoes, 2 red beets, 2 pieces of Ginger.

I think the Ginger is really helping with these, taste wise, this one was delicious :-)

Dinner: Smoothie (5 strawberries, 1 Banana, 2 oranges, 1 Kiwi, 1 Avocado)

Current weight: 79.5Kg - that is 5 less than in December
Blood pressure today: 110/70 - thumbs up :-)

#365 - Detox day 2

Woke up this morning with a bundle of energy before the alarm
(well, that part was thanks to our 'talking' dog ;-)).
Am having half a lemon in a cup of hot water right now and water before and after.

Today will be a not so nice day and I'll miss some comfy chocolate, I'm sure.
But I'll just make me a gorgeous smoothie instead. Pft! :-)

Breakfast: A smoothie with half a cantaloupe, 5 Strawberries, a Banana and an orange,
added some water to get it smooth

Did my 15 minute morning yoga Video BEFORE drinking the juice this time :-)
Much better for the stomach ;-)

Energy Levels vary, I could go curl up in bed quite happily right now. And would, if I didn't have to go some place. Bummer ;-)
I did succumb to an hour nap, set my alarm and was still on time. Only to find out that the Doc is on a conference today. Great. Didn't call, because they don't believe in appointments here anyway. Sigh.
Tomorrow then.

In between: Karkade (Hibiscus tea) x2

From 365 - 2014

Lunch: Juice of 3 red beets (be aware of red fingers after peeling them, but it washes off easy enough), 2 carrots, 1 orange  -  this one was yummy!

Soon after Lunch back pain and headache started.
I tried to get rid of it with another juice around 2,30pm: 1 apple, 1 Kiwi, a handful of parsley, 1 piece of Ginger, 2 Cucumbers  (tasted ok)
Headache didn't go away.
Sucked it up until around 5 and ate 3 of my freshly made oat cakes (2 ripe Bananas, 1/2 cup of oats and 1/3 cup of raisins, mixed well, baked in the oven at 380F for approx 15-20min)
Tried another juice: 2 Zucchini, some Lettuce, (too much) parsley, 2 carrots - that one was yucky!
and had an egg with it with salt.
Around 7pm I finally took two heavy pain killers and that helped a wee bit.

#365 - Day 1 of a few days of Detox

Prepping my body for a few days of juice detox (why juicing? check here :) Need a plan to go by, voila)

Breakfast: (Out of habit, sigh - from tomorrow on a no-go) 1.5 cup black coffee, 1 large Smoothie cup (1 Banana, 1 apple, 1 Kiwi and a few Oats - those will be left out from tomorrow on) - added some water to get it blended

In between: Lemon juice water (here's some Info on that - you need to scroll a bit), an Avocado (also not from tomorrow on), water - lots of it

From 365 - 2014

Lunch: Cucumber juice (was planning on tomato juice but my cucumbers got a frozen behind from being stuffed to close to the fridge wall, sigh)
Later in the afternoon Tomato juice (4 tomatoes, 2 carrots, 3 pieces of Ginger. Note to self, 2 pieces are sufficient, uff!)

Evening: Hibiscus tea

Got more veggies and fruits this morning, one big haul from last week is already almost gone.

From 365 - 2014

I know, loads of plastic :-(

I will check out the open market on my next haul and see how the prices are there

and use my reusable bags there. At least it all went into reusable bags and not another load of 

plastic bags which they love to drown you with.

The cost of this haul was around $35 that is minus the Bee pollen and the Hibiscus.

And this 15-minute morning yoga practice will be my routine for the week :-)

6pm over here now, I have some cravings for bread or could have inhaled the rice, but otherwise I am fine.
I didn't take a nap, instead walked the dogs a bit more and did the 15min Yoga Video.
Overall not much, but more than I have been doing.
I could go right to bed now though :D
But I have some more knitting to do :-)
