Recovery Day-Ummm...yea..about that...

Okay so, today is the recovery day. I set my alarm to get up late because I'm still feeling all exhausted. My daughter comes and knocks on the door because she's been throwing up. Bless her heart. Because was a CNA for quite a bit of her life she knows how to analyze bodily functions. By the time we started talking she'd analyzed the consistancy of yesterday's defacation, that there wasn't enough defacation, and that her vomit didn't look like it should. You might be grossed out but I was beaming with pride as I re-cooled her washclothe. She is already learning to take her health into her own hands which is more than I can say for most adults these days. My son woke up to see what was wrong with his sister, so we basically had "a meetin' in tha ladiesroom". lol He hung out for a while and we all decided to go ahead and stay up since it was already 6am. Everybody said their Ori prayers, got dressed (I'm pre-shower dressed), and I went to fix peppermint tea for my daughter (with an extra shot of peppermint), and made made this for my son:

Egg, almond milk, soy bacon, spinach, garlic, onion, and nutritional yeast

Not that pretty, but he liked it. lol

So of course at this point I haven't juice anything for fear that she will star throwing up again as soon as I get up to go do anything which is kind of stupid I guess because she is very mature. I guess it's just me being a mother. Anyway, I'll probably be doing prune juice again since I have no clients today. lol Mari, will be on liquids all day today to flush her system.

Something interesting just happened. My son was tell my daughter about the omlet I made for him. She was saying that it sounded good, but grossed her out because her stomach still hurts. We began to discuss why it is that when you are nauseous, the smell/thought of meat/dairy makes you sick, but veggies don't. Hmmmmm....

Remedy-Day 3

Good morning! So last night I went to be around 8:15-8:30. I was so tired/drained. I did my pre-shower dry brushing and boy did it feel good!!! My cycle started this morning so I'll blame the headache I had on that. This morning I juiced cantaloupe because today is melon day.

Issues so far:

Amount of Mega Greens needed vs. shipping efficiency-I am doing the cleanse with my husband. Went through the 1st jar of Mega Greens yesterday. When I messaged him on FB he said that they only ship every two weeks so you should plan for that. If you are doing the entire five week plan (alone), I would estimate that you will need 3-4 containers if you add the maximum amount to your various juices. Another idea would be to see where you are at the end of the cleansing portion and order according to that prior to the 5 week part of the plan. BTW, there is no expedited shipping offered that I know of.

Juicing out of season-So, yea melon is not in season right now. Shoot a lot of stuff is out of season right now so this is really expensive and I'm trying to figure out where this stuff is even coming from. I am treating this like I do cooking. I'll do it as recommended the first time and tweak it to fit the next time.

Amount of water to drink daily-I was already drinking a gallon of water daily. I decided that he must mean that you are to drink a gallon minimum. Maybe my stomach capacity is too large from overeating all these years. Idk, but I'm going to do it his way this time, and as stated above, tweak for my needs the next time.

Size of Mega Green opening vs tablespoon-I know this may sound petty, but whatever. I was a little irritated at not being able to fit my tablespoon in the opening of the jar. If you tell me that all of my measurements are pretty much in tablespoons, shouldn't your jar accommodate a "regular" tablespoon. For all of you culinary artist, I realize that tablespoons come in all shaped, but most of us use the Dollar Store round one. Anyway I just ended up dumping both jars into a mason jar for less waste and time saving.

Remedy-Day 2...evening

So my husband didn't want anymore prune juice for totally valid reasons. He preferred peach, which of course is not quite in season here, but what hubby wants hubby gets. I decided since I was spending unnecessary money I would get some pears to juice alongside the peaches. Pears are my fav next to strawberries. Honey, lemme tell ya!!! My juice was DELISH!!!! OMG!!! Why didn't I drink it this morning too? UGH!!! Anyway, hubby said he was gross and as usually wished he had gotten what I chose. ;)

Tomorrow is melon day. I bought cantaloupe and honeydew. I wanted some freakishly out of season watermelon, but all they had were those little science experiment dwarf seedless kind. :( For our fourth day I bought some mangoes that were on sale...wonder why? lol

I don't know if I'm going to do the 5 weeks (4 weeks for us as we are already vegetarian) because this stuff is really beginning to dig into my pockets. I'll probably do it next time with all the juicing and such at the end. It is a really good plan, but I just need to be a little more prepared for it.

Btw, we are getting rid of the microwave. My dawta can in shouting, "Iya, I figured out how to warm food up in the toaster!!!" I was really happy for her, but realized how screwed our children are if anything ever happens. We really gotta do better. My husband was actually the hardest to sell on the idea, but has now thought of 50 reasons not to have one. lol Gotta love him.
