Twitter

I am a little behind the technosavy curve when it comes to some of these social medias. I remember starting Facebook because a friend of mine said to try it out and then it went viral. Anyways, facebook is a bit boring for me and seems to have lost my interest just as myspace did years ago. So now on to something new and what seems a bit challening at the moment--twitter.
I need to learn how to tweet, I believe that is the word, and the lingo; as well as who to and not to follow. WOW, so much to try to figure out. Is there a tweeting 101 class. Any suggestions?

Walking again

Last Thursday I finally got my cast off. I was so relieved. I thought I would be able to drive once I got it off and was excited....Well that didn't happen. Although the ankle bones are healed there is still much tenderness on and around the joint. Lets not forget my achilles and calf muscles haven't been stretched and are extremely tight that I I am having a hard time walking. I got my big boot and trying to manuever with that is taking some getting used to. As the days go on, I am getting more mobile. At first I was using my crutches then went to a cane yesterday and today nothing. I need to keep adding heat to my joints to increase the flexibilty. I have 3 more weeks and then I will see what happens next...therapy?

Detox day 6 and 7

So the one thing that I felt this detox helped me was the fact I no longer needed allergy pills to combat the terrible pollen. Other than that nothing else notice. At this point my hunger pains became more frequent and I was becoming irritable. Not sure if this detox is one I will follow again, but I will certainly add it into my weekly diet.

Courage to look into your past to move forward in life

Detox day 4 and 5

Wow, the days are going by fast. The recipes are changing. Its getting to be a challenge and I am hungrier more as the days go along. Every aroma smells like homemade baked bread. Go figure. Need some smoothies instead of juicing. Helps with the hunger. I am now at the point of thinking if this is worth it. Do I really want to live this type of lifestyle. Hmm. I contemplate about the foods that I wont be eating on a regular basis. Today, I was speaking with a friend about this matter. I really love food. I have an addiction. Seriously, I am a food addict. I really have to focus inorder to not get morbidly obese.  On the other hand, i don't like the way my body reacts to when I am not eating correctly. I am tired all the time. That is the reason why I studied nutrition. The doctors couldn't help  me so I had to help myself.  Eating properly not only helped my waistline but increased my energy.
Sooo, I just have to remind myself of these reasons why a season detox is good for the body and avoiding those high greasy fatty foods isn't really worth it. Its like alcohol. I dont like the feel of being dehydrated the next day so I refuse to drink it. I need to come to a place like with the foods I eat.

Day 2 and Day 3 of Detox

I am in the mid point of Day 3 for my detox. Let me first reflect on Day 2.

Day 2 Detox.
The recipes were pretty much the same haven''t felt any changes. Apparently, I didn't have much toxins in my body. Tired from cooking on one leg and doing household chores.

Day 3
Today, was a start of changing up on the recipes. I started with my lemonade type drink. A bit more hungry today. I do see the belly going down. I have 2 smoothies today with some juicing mixtures.
No headaches or excessive tiredness. The first time I did a detox, I remember my headaches and boy they were irritating. I just assumed that I would have them again. I do need to keep in mind to keep drinking water and lots of it.

Also, today is shopping day for days 4 thru 5.
An idea of what it cost me at Trader Joes for organice foods for the next 4 days came to under 70.00.
17.50 a day to juice 5 times. Not bad. What an investment in me.

Day 1 of detox

The day is almost over and I can't believe the fabulous tasting drinks these are. When I look at the ingredients of kale, spinach, watercress with beets cucumbers pineapple or apples it just doesn't seem like it would taste great. On the contrary, they are sweet and oh so delicious. I have one more drink to go and some mint tea before bed.

I feel tired today. Not sure if its from the excess sugar I ate the days preceeding up to my detox or if it is the detox itself.

I never once was hungry as I was juicing ever 3 hours.

My habits did tend to cross my mind from time to time. There would be lapse of memory where i would think, it would be nice to eat this or that today. Maybe I will have it and then i have to quickly refocus and remind myself I am detox. Tonight, my son had his first soccer practice and after practice I almost asked if he would like to go to sweet frog for some yogurt. Just as the words were about to pass my lips, I caught myself.

Although this is to help one out mentally, it isn't that hard. You do have to mentally prepare yourself to by-pass your mind telling you that you want some chocoloate or chips or whatever you think you are craving. I am not depriving myself of those things as anyone who diets shouldn't deprive themselves of the foods they love. Its I am making a choice to eat healthier so I may cleanse the inside as I do the outside.
