Detox - the conclusion

Finished my 7 day detox program....getting all those toxins out of my system. Result.....I feel just the same. They say that some people have more energy at the end of the program. My energy level is the same. I can't tell that it did any difference to my system....except psychologically. The good that came from it - was eating plenty of fiber and drinking lots of water. Now if I can just continue with that! Would I do it again? I might at one time or another. But then again, it took me 52 years to try it the first time!

Trip in the country

Bill and I went on a road trip today - below are a few of the characters/scenes that we saw.

Windmill Farm

Up close and personal with a windmill

Kayla was too scared to get out of the car.

What's up doc?

This is my good side!

Water Logged

I am on day 5 of this detox regime. I think the toxins finally started leaving my body today. I am water logged and feeling normal. They were right - you have to eat lots of fiber and drink LOTS of water!

Who is that behind those Foster Grants?

Well - that is really not me.....but that is what the jeep looked like when I drove it this a.m. in 27 degree weather!!!!  I had to take my car to the shop this a.m. - Bill followed me in the jeep.  After dropping off the car - I took Bill to work and then drove back home in the jeep.

It was 27 degrees (I checked before we left) - I had on my long underwear (top and bottom) my chords, turtleneck & sweater, two pairs of socks, jacket with fleece liner, warm hat over my ears and warm scarf around my neck and leather gloves.  While driving - I also brought a blanket to wrap around my legs.  I am SURE we attracted a lot of stares - but I was wearing my 'Foster Grants' so no one would recognize me and pretend that this is the way we drove all the time!

I have to say - I was very comfortable except for my fingers - wrong gloves to wear I guess.  I didn't know if they were freezing or what!  Man they hurt - I kept moving my fingers - but it even hurt to move them.  As soon as I got home - I raced to the kitchen and stuck them under the water.  Then........at 8:00AM in the morning ......I made myself a bubble bath and crawled inside the tub for the final warm up.  (YES!  A bubble bath at 8:00AM! - and Yes!  I did feel decadent).

When I go back this afternoon to pick up the car.....I'll probably burn up - they are saying it should be about 47 degrees!

Detox Upate

JUST IN CASE ANYONE ever reads my blog........I am NOT going to update EACH day on this Detox thing.  So far it has been mild - drinking a lot of water - eating fiber; and it has been very gentle on the system.  Is it working???......I'll let you know at the end of the program UNLESS something weird happens.

My Heart Throbs

I just had to post my two most favorite pictures......the first was taken of Will and Jonathan at age 4 and 1.........the second was our Christmas present this year.....at age 25 and 21.  My heart just swells when I look at either of these pictures.

Detox - Day 1

1. Morning - I started this morning (after drinking one cup of coffee - can I do that?) by taking 2 capsules of something - and then I had to drink a powder dissolved in 8 oz of water and then drink another 8 oz of water.  The instructions say to drink a lot of water throughout the day (this will challenge me) and eat plenty of fiber (trip to grocery store!).  So far so good - but right now - I am already water logged.....

2. Afternoon - I haven't had any "gurgglings" - feel normal.  Went grocery shopping and got a lot of fruit, fiber, beans, fish, etc.  

3. Evening - all is well.....been drinking lots of water and peeing all the time.  Good soup for dinner.  Took 2 different capsules of something an hour after dinner and drank more of the powder.  Feeling really water logged.

post note:  had to get up 2 times to use the bathroom (pee) from all the water.   So far I feel normal.
