Colonics, Cashews and Cacao, OH MY!-Day 17, 18 and 19

It's been three days since my last post because I have been avoiding it like the plague. But than god I am blogging and told EVERYONE that I am detoxing because I would be "off the wagon for sure. Three months is certainly a HUGE undertaking. I have had cravings galore, O.D. on cacao and cashews, but actually have not cheated once according to detox "rules". So I guess that is something to be proud of. As my friend Jill from work so said it today, "if you can do three months, you can do anything!". Thanks for that Jill, I hope you are right and it will definitely help keep me in this.

As I mentioned, I over did it on cacao the other day. I guess there is such thing as too much (sorry David Wolfe, love you, but there is. Or could I have considered that crappy feeling a spiritual experience?). So, the next day I O.D. on cashews. Told you I had an addiction problem, HA! I really just think that I'm at a plateau. adjusting to a different way of life, eating, a new heightened awareness, and there is no where to run. Neither the cacao or cashews really mad me feel any better. They actually made me feel WORSE. But I am very committed to feeling better, so I will stick with the plan! I will eat more greens, minerals, superfoods and drink more water. one thing I will not be doing any time soon though is having another colonic.

Toward the end of this detox I will be juice fasting anywhere from 7 to 14 days. I have decided to put the colonics on hold till then. Part of fasting is not pooping so you have to do daily enemas anyway. So I will save Kristine the headache of my resistant bowels (HA) until then.

Here is to being empowered for better health from this day foreward. First a quote: "If you don't quit, and you don't cheat, and you don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win." ~ Shelly Long

Smooth Sailing-Day 4

Today started off a little hectic. I met with my friend Andrea McNinch . She was very helpful in steering me toward a better way to feed my own body. We figured out that I am a fast oxidizer, which basically means that I will have more energy and feel more balanced if I have more protein. So, more chlorella tabs and spirulina here I come! Happily too, Vivapura makes these really cool Spirulina Crunchies that are really fun to eat. That is if your into that sort of thing.

I tend to eat too much fat when I eat raw. Actually, when I'm not detoxing I eat a lot of fat and sugar together. Which is what I crave no matter how I'm eating. Andrea suggested that I make sure to eat something with high protein (chlorella, spirulina) along with the fats. And since I'm not having sugar, well, it's not currently a problem.

I have had some night cravings for the past couple of days, which is normal for me. I think I ate some nuts last night after posting, but for the life of me I can't remember it clearly. I felt stressed, and i am a total emotional eater.

Planning on posting some pictures and maybe a recipe soon next week......stay tuned, and please message me with any questions or requests.

today I ate

64 oz. loaded pure water

16oz. green juice (planning on increasing this amount) containing liquid zeolites and love minerals

lg mug of tea (not sure what kind)

chia porridge same as yesterday

10 chlorella tabs

b12 and d3

a HUGE salad packed with goodness and lemon, olive oil dressing

lemon ginger Yogi Tea

A large handful of macadamia nuts with dried coconut flakes and 5 chlorella tabs

OVERWHELMED-Day 2

Here it is the end of day two and honestly I could care less about what I'm eating or not eating. I started this blog project because I knew It would keep the adventure of detoxing more exciting. Well, now it seems that I am feeling the pressure of learning the ropes so I can make this thing fun and interesting. I guess it is a very welcome distraction though because the food can be really boring. And on that note I need to start planning some of my meals, get some stuff going in the dehydrator, etc. Along with a full time job and other projects I have going on (I just got done putting a yoga room in my house, YIPPEE)
A couple more things have also just been brought to my attention to consider when detoxing. I have to figure out my body constitution and how it is that I oxidize food. Thursday I will meet with Andrea McNinch (who I have previously mentioned) to help me get this all straight. There is another very important element which is, to have a live blood analysis done under a dark field microscope. It's super cool! You get to see the quality of your cells LIVE right in front of your eyes on a television screen. Since I have already done this detox once before back in the fall (for 30 days) I will skip the first blood check. Last time I was pretty full of candida before I started the detox and only moderately better after one month. That's another really good reason why I am taking on the full 90 days. I know that I am still full of those little critters because I drank and ate myself through the holidays :P So I will go back after this is over. Can't wait to see my squeaky clean cells.
The weird thing is I haven't even craved coffee or alcohol yet at all! And those are my two favorite offenders (I know, pathetic) (trust me, it used to be pasta or dessert). I think I am just totally in the zone, YES!!!
I have not yet taken any pictures of my beautiful food, so visualize as I share with you what I ate today.
64oz. of purified H20 with MSM, celtic sea salt, and love minerals
B12 and D3
5 chlorella tabs (my dogs each had one too)
chia porridge (same as yesterday)
Ormus Super Greens in water
a large mug of peach detox Yogi Tea
16oz. green juice
Big salad containing 2+cups greens, my favorite raw olives from Vivapura, tomato, sundried tomato, red pepper, dulse, and red onion all mixed with lemon olive oil salt and pepper, SUPER YUMMY!
See ya tomorrow, thanks for joining. LOVE LOVE LOVE
