Today was a lazy day. I didn't have quite as much energy as yesterday, that or I overdid it yesterday. lol. Could be either.
I followed up my midday juice with a decently good version of V8 juice. This time, super simple. 5 Medium Tomatoes, 1 celery stick, 1/4 onion, 1/2 a cucumber, handful of basil, handful of oregano, some salt (bad Ben!) Pepper, Cayenne and a couple dashes of tabasco. Really good.
I was super hungry on wake-up today, but that tamed down as the day went on. I've been having cravings -- I'll be driving along and think to myself how good a bag of Cheetos would be, or a Hamburger, or something else. Shannon about killed me tonight with dinner. Chicken Flautas. *drools and salivates Homer style*, but I'm being as steady as a rock with sticking to things. This is only day 3, there's 18 more to go. :)
I chickened out of the 'Big E' today, but I really need to just man up and just get it done, as things are slowing down alarmingly in that department. I suppose that is to be expected, but just to be safe... Probably ought to get after it.
I went with Shannon and the kids to the YMCA tonight to take the boys swimming, but before we hit the pool, I spent about 20 minutes in the Steam Room -- hoping to sweat out a bunch of the impurities. I think it worked pretty good, my skin feels really fresh, and clean. I showered a TON before getting in the pool because I didn't want my skin to soak up all that chlorine, probably didn't work -- so more detox for me. :)
If you think about it -- I mean really think about it. It's pretty alarming how surrounded by chemicals we are, and how much we take that for granted. Most of what you buy at the store contains ingredients we can hardly pronounce, there is elemental chlorine in our swimming pools, municipal water systems, flouride in the water, Mercury in the water, Lead in the water. Not to mention what breathe in the form of pollution, exhaust, etc. We are bombarded by chemicals. I'm hoping over the next 21 days to reduce that bombardment significantly.
With that thought, I take my leave this evening as I drink this smoothie I created with 3 Carrots, 2 Sticks of Celery, 2 Oranges and 1/2 a cucumber. I mixed in some ice, and something in it is tingling the back of my throat something fierce.
Must mean its working. :)

I agree...I am really trying to reduce the chemicals we absorb/inhale as well. We still go swimming once a week and we too take looooong showers before and after. I will actually start sneezing and am congested a few days after being in the chlorine:( It kills me to see the parents and kids get in the pool with out showering first!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you didn't cave with the flautas...keep it up!
