The Remedy-Recovery Day & some pics

Can I just say how happy I am to be drinking my old chlorophyll? OMG!!! It taste to clean and delicious!!! I will think of Supa Mega Greens, every time I smell pond algae from now to the rest of my life. None of us will even open the jar. I realize that this sounds dramatic, but I don't care. lol I will try the 5 week plan, later on, but I will not spend the money I spent on Supa Mega Greens again. Ever. Never. Never ever never ever never in life...ever.

So anyway, we've eaten some tasty miso soup. It was my first time. I must say that I will be checking miso out again. I'm thinking that I will use it to season my rice or quinoa. It was quite delish. Tonight I we are going to have VERY simple salads, with homemade dressings. Then I'm going to make strawberry banana smoothies for whoever wants it.

Here are some pics for ya!

This is the beginning of my cinder block garden

I just have to add the other side.

I am going to add newspaper to prevent weeds and plant in all the large holes.

I want to use a lot more yard for gardening, but I have to cut down more trees. :(

Dehydrating pears. They taste like candy.

I got this dehydrator for $5 at GW. It has one more tray and a plastic sheet for "wet stuff".

This is what we had for dinner. No I didn't follow the instructions of just squeezing a lemon on this. I did, however make a lemon dressing that I found on line. Of course I put a lil of myself in it and it was soooo good!

Remedy-Day 4

I know I was slack because I usually write earlier in the day. I've been busy with errands and such. So, I've had lots of energy today, but I think it's more because this cleanse is almost over. I'm mostly finishing because I like to finish things I start. Here are conclusions I've come to while doing this cleanse:

This is not for someone who has cleansed regularly or already eats a relatively healthy diet. We were already vegetarian. We already drank chlorophyll daily. We'd already stopped eating out a lot. Blah, blah, blah...That being said, I didn't see any profound change. This would be an excellent starter cleanse. I will however incorporate all of the things I've learned and build on what we already have established healthwise. At a later time I will, however, do weeks 2-5 of the cleanse. I don't have the funds right now to do everything as it should be done, so as stated above I won't do it until I can do it completely.

Bowel health is very important to me. That being said, I was more comfortable with MC in that I saw "results" daily. With this cleanse I only had results when I chose to drink prune juice as my juice. I am a little nervous that I am going to have to do some extra work to get my bowels back on track. We'll see. I know that he mentions enemas and such in the book for those that have problems with constipation, but I didn't and I don't plan on starting now.

I'm going back to my old chlorophyll. I realize that his chlorophyll might be better, but what good is something that I hate drinking? Maybe as I continue this path I will revisit it, but until then...I'm over it. I also like liquid chlorophyll more than powder...especially grainy powder.

A cleanse shouldn't make you tired imho. Okay, so when I did MC I had the energy of 10 women. I was waking up without my alarm clock, taking walks, and exercising. Well with this I've been too tired to even read my books, which pissed me off a bit.

This is an excellent cleanse for a beginner. The cleanse is short, sweet, and to the point. You also are able to have a break the monotony with the juices and you are also able to choose which juices you want which I love!!!

I realize that my commentary doesn't line up with most that sing the praises of this cleanse and maybe the next time when I am able to do the entire thing I will see a difference. I'm not giving up on it just yet. I'm definitely going to revisit the concepts with my own tweaking. I would suggest that you try this cleanse for yourself and if nothing else buy the book, because it has SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE in it.

Btw, today is the last day of the cleanse, but tomorrow is a recovery day. Don't ever do a liquid cleanse and think that you don't need a recovery day.

What I miss most right now...

I know that you think that I am going to say that I miss some succulent delicacy. No. Strangely enough I miss my vinegar water and chlorophyll. I don't know what that's about, but that's what I miss. Of course I want to eat, but my life would be much more beautiful right now if I could chug some vinegar water and chlorophyll water. What is that about? lol

Green Smoothie

Yesterday, I began drinking chlorophyll because it is supposed to be SUPER good for you. Well, I'll tell you this, I took some getting used to on my part. I drank another glass this morning and it wasn't near as bad so I think I'll add this to my diet permanently. I also made my first green smoothie this morning with zucchini, red bib lettuce, green apples, and a green pear. Gotta admit. It's pretty good. Not as delish as my banana almond milk smoothie, but still good. I think I made it too thick though, but whatever. I'm trying to get all my goodness in before my walk at 7am which is in about 30 minutes.
My hope is that the things that I am doing for the precleanse will be the changes after the cleanse. I am doing well so far. I would be doing even better if I could get in the bed on time.
Peace, love, and balance
