Day 7: green Lemonade

Day 7

Favorite thing I ate(drank): my lemon lime drink I had for dinner was fantastic you would never know there was cabbage in it... I might even drink this drink when I'm not detoxing! Haha Least favorite thing I ate(drank): my mid morning drink was a little rough , it had a "thicker" taste and had a syrup taste to it, not the best. How I felt: overall I have been feeling great almost no hives at all but im still on the same meds . I have energy but find I am easily winded and my blood sugar has been getting low between meals. And... I've lost 4 pounds so that's fun news! Medicine: Zyrtec and Zantac 2X a day

Day 5

Favorite thing I ate: I made the cinnamon maple apple bake again it was quite delicious ! Yum! Least favorite thing I ate: green salad for lunch, I wasn't very hungry and it was kind of bland.. O well How I felt: I felt pretty great today, I don't recall any light headed feeling and I kept going all day.. I had enough energy. My hives were basically gone except for some on my arms later in the evening. Medicine: Zyrtec and zantac 2x a day

Day 4

Favorite thing I ate: besides my sweet potato fries I loved my baked zucchini and tomatoes ... It tasted great I barely felt as if I was detoxing. Least favorite thing I ate: while it wasn't horrible I did love my sunset blend of juice which consisted of sweet potatoes , carrot, red pepper, orange, apple How I felt: I felt kind of weak today, I worked for the first time since being on the detox and it proved harder than I thought. I was tired and yawning a lot. I needed a nap after I got off, no headaches or nausea just tired. I woke up with slight hives they came an went all day but no large outbreak probally the best "hives" day so far. I'm getting a hang of this cooking thing and the meals are quicker to prepare. I'm venturing off the plan to make meals that I will like slightly better but that are still 100% vegetables. 4 days down 11 to go! Medicine: Zyrtec and Zantac 2x a day

Day 3

Favorite thing I ate: maple cinnamon apple bake! It was warm and soo soo good! Least favorite thing I ate: raw carrot soup, I like my soup warm and this was cold... It's was ok but nothing I want to have again How I felt: I took a 2 hour nap but overall I was pretty awake and felt good. I had bad hives breakout again on my hands and then my arms and legs later on in the day ugh

Day 2

Favorite thing I ate: sweet potato "fries". They were topped with cinnamon and baked in the oven very delicious! Worst thing I ate: V28 juice. It was so horrible some of the ingredients were beets, radishes, celery, tomatoes... I gagged half of it down I couldnt do more with out losing it. Very rough How I felt: my hives were gone today finally so I wasn't itchy, I was a bit more on the tired side. Energy level was a bit low not sure if that's a lack of sleep or due to what I'm eating. Medicine: Zyrtec and Zantac 2x a day

Day 1: green juice

[emmyd33-blog]

Day 1

Favorite thing I ate: for breakfast I had apples and cherries baked with cinnamon and nutmeg :) it was very yummy!

Least favorite thing I ate: raw carrot soup, it was to be eaten cold and well it tasted like carrots even though many other things were put in it.

How I felt: I felt pretty good today, I was a little bit tired but that is also connected to being up all night with hives. I didn’t feel lethargic today and my stomach didn’t really growl. I think the next couple days will be harder and then hopefully easier. This is a mental game that I’m playing and I need to constantly remind myself of my end goal. Tomorrow has some interesting items on the menu so we will see how I do. I need to keep the positive attitude and avoids people eating all the foods I really want.

Here we go!

"Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead"... have you seen this documentary? if not check out the link below.

Inspired by the movie starting Monday, July 23, 2012 I will be starting a 15 day detox diet of soley vegetables and fruits. I will be using my tumbler page to blog about it and share some of the interesting foods I will eat.

The point of this detox is to cure my chronic hives that I have had for 9 years so I am really hoping that this detox allows me to be on less medicine and feel better over all :)

Wish me luck :)
