My Master Cleanse Challenge: DAY 2.....

Woke up early because of my rumbling tummy, at 6am.  Every night you have to drink a laxative tea, I'm drinking Senna Leaf Puritee.  To my surprise nothing happened (number 2 -wise), so went back to sleep.  When I finally woke up an hour an half later, I was feeling so weak! I could barely walk up and down the stairs.  I painfully watched my husband enjoy his fragrant toast and polony. It was torture.

To ease my mind off solid food I decided to take a nap.  Woke up a couple of hours later and I was extra exhausted.  Lunch time, I made the lemonade concoction.  I felt a bit better, yet not completely.  I had already made my other half aware that I won't be able to cook this week, or else I would be tempted.  However I against my own judgement I decided to cook him a quick lunch (I just felt a bit guilty- for not cooking for him).  Just the smell of the kidney bean stew caused my tummy to leap for a bowl.

I am proud that I went a full day and half just on the concoction as instructed.  The kidney bean stew won my heart and my tummy though, so I decided to continue with the detox but with my own personal twist.  Follow the   detox yet have one light meal a day such as a salad or fish and veg etc.  For the other meals I would have the lemonade.

to be continued!

The Detox - Day 5:-))

Yes, I have changed the title of these entries to "The Detox", cause I have run out of maple syrup today.  So how can it be a master cleanse without the lemonade drink, right?  I already feel GREAT!  Even though I didn't really stick to it to the tee.  I'm still proud of myself for being determined into detoxing, cutting off certain foods and not eating carby foods after 6pm. I have already started seeing the effects of my effort.  My size 10 skirts still don't fit yet, but mentally I'm feeling superb.  I never thought I could not eat anything without a carb, especially my beloved bread.  But I have hung in there.  I was doing my shopping the other day and eyes lingered on the frozen fries section.  However because I have a goal, I will abstain from all unnecessary fattening foods and I will stick to the rules of the Anna Richardsons, Body Blitz: 1.  No wheat (cakes, pastries etc.), 2. No Diary (apart from the ...

Good bye 2015

I am. The most powerful  two words. Simple but powerful. As the year Draws to a close. Some are in the spirit of the festivities. Others are mourning dreams that have died, feeling like failures because they didn't accomplish their goals.  And some others are in the sombre mood of contemplation. Processing the year gone by. And planning the year ahead. Looking at the past and learning from all the experiences rather than tearing yourself down because things didn't go your way is not the healthy route to take. As the last hours of 2015 tick by. Lets reflect, let's plan, and let's decide to take action in 2016. It begins with one step. A good idea and great plans lie dormant when action is not taking the lead. I read and heard this saying or a variation  of it. And it truly makes sense especially at this turning point. "There are no wrong dreams and plans. But there are incorrect deadlines." So those plans that didn't quiet take shape this year or the y...
