mel's doin' it. col's doin' it. jen's done it. julie's done it. soon, i'll be doin' it, too.
what's that? a detox/cleanse.
god knows i need to cut crap out of my diet and get some weight off, and eliminating wheat, sugar and dairy for twelve days can't hurt. who knows, maybe i'll even feel better by the end of it and learn to live without such things in my body.
so, i've got the food list and instructions (i'm not plunking down $30 for the pills and drops -- this time). i was looking at the calendar for a good day to start and it's not until the 19th! i don't know.... i'm all gung ho to start and would totally begin tomorrow, but i have a tribute dinner to attend next friday where i'll have nothing to eat but rubber chicken and soggy vegetables. okay, what about starting the next day? well, that would put my amazing race party right at the end of that stretch, and i refuse to be hosting a gathering at which i can't eat what i'm preparing and, more importantly, can't drink beer.
so, the day after the party it is. hopefully, by then, i'll have started getting delivery from spud (i've made that decision -- it's just whether or not i can get a spare key from my building manager now) so i'll have lots and lots of fresh, organic veggies & meats to eat. although, i'm not sure how wise it is to start a cleanse on a monday morning considering i don't know if i can bring myself to drink coffee black. wheat, sugar, dairy AND coffee withdrawal all at the same time? wow, i'm going to be cranky.
but, the upside is i can eat sushi. mm, sushi.
i'll email you with food tips, etc..things i found helpful that i didn't figure out til half way through! haha :)
go heather! when i am in a sucky moment, i just think "in the grand scheme of things, this moment of having to drink black coffee is like a second of my life. get over it." and i do.
we sort of follow the south beach diet and i can't ever remember eating so many vegetables! we grill them in the oven lots. yum! i don't miss potatoes at all. well okay sometimes i do.
Happy Friday!
Got a good link w/ instructions, etc...? I've been interested in giving this a go lately as well.
email away!
And remember not to microwave anything. If anyone wants a scary article on what microwaves do to the digestibles of food, let me know.
Awesomeness :)
if you want a referral code for savings on spud, you can use CR5-314722 (anyone can use that code) to save $25 over 4 orders ($10, $5, $5, $5). I think I get a bottle of olive oil or something if you use it ;)
Also, spud has a page on their website somewhere that has a request to send a letter to your building manager to provide them a key.
