Temptation is everywhere! The aromas from my co-workers lunch is so tantalizing, but I just stuck to my all green smoothie. Pizza was being served during the Miami/Oklahoma City basketball game. Oh boy! I really wanted a slice! I almost reached for it when Calvin said “no, you have come this far and you only […]

I researched and found several raw restaurants in Santa Monica. I stopped at one on the way home and picked up Raw Lasagna and Raw Kale Nachos. I was in heaven! Something I can eat while on the cleanse that had some spice and flavor! I am burned out on salads and finding these restaurants […]

Today was a good day. Brunch after church was at a salad bar where I could choose my own ingredients and create a raw salad and then have fruit for dessert. It was easy to maintain the diet. While watching the basketball game with Miami and Oklahoma City, I ate a bowl of fruit and […]

I attended a Birthday party at Joe’s Crab Shack. Seafood is one of my favorites! I ordered a salad minus the meat, minus the dressing to eat while everyone else had shrimp, crab legs and several varieties of fish. A major test of my willpower! At the end of the meal they were all sighing […]

I am mad and frustrated with the cleanse. I am tired of thinking about what I can or can not eat. I just want to eat like I always have and go on with my life. I had some lightly steamed broccoli and sliced tomatoes for dinner. It felt good to eat something warm again.

I woke up with two zits on my nose. I guess some of the toxins in my body are exiting that way. :( Someone’s sausage cooking sure smells good! I kept on walking toward the office, daydreaming about how good it smells and how good a lot of foods smell that aren’t good for you. […]

I had a wonderful day! I spoke to several people who were contemplating the cleanse and shared my experiences with them. I think they were relieved when all their concerns were answered. In the evening I went to a Jazz event where they served coffee and cake during intermission. My friend Kathy who was doing […]

I ate some raw almonds this morning and I am having some stomach pains. I walked on my lunch hour, drank some water and that helped. I also drank a green smoothie for my meal. I made it through watching the Miami/Oklahoma City game without cheating. The onion rings were smellin’ good! I wondered if […]

I am half way through the cleanse. I feel good and I feel like I can make it through the next 10 days with no problems. I feel like I am doing the right thing at the right time for me at this point in my life. I spoke to a lady today who just […]

Weight: 139 pounds I did great at brunch today! I stuck to just the salad bar. I made a big salad and for dessert i had a plate of fruit. I was so busy today talking to friends and socializing that I got way off schedule with taking the capsules for the cleanse. I went […]

Today I have vowed to stick to the cleanse no mater what! I felt so bad for letting myself get so hungry yesterday that I had to go off my diet. I went to the store and stocked up on fresh fruits and vegetables. I had a great day! I felt good and I stuck […]

All morning I was craving chocolate! I drank my herbal tea, crunched on my carrots and tried not to think about it. I was having a really good day until I went to the Urban Ballroom Social. In the rush to get ready and get there on time, I hadn’t eaten dinner. I was so […]

My hips feel sore. I took a dance class on Monday and no soreness until now. I was craving shrimp fried rice for lunch and I had a fruit smoothie instead. I went to watch the Miami/Boston game with some friends and they had jokes about the cleanse! I just sipped my water and laughed […]

Today a lady asked about eating on a cleanse. She asked for recommendations on what to eat?? I told her about big salads and munching on raw vegetables, nuts and seeds throughout the day. She had been drinking smoothies for 3 days and wanted something else to eat. I was able to share my experience […]

I tested my PH level with some strips I found at work and I am in the optimal zone! I’m not sure where I was prior to starting the cleanse, but I think I may have been OK. I stopped drinking soda in 2007 and I stopped eating sugar since I started reading the articles […]

I’m still alive! I feel good! I wasn’t sure how I would survive the weekend without my favorite foods and drinks, but I made it through and still had a great time. I now see how big of a role food plays in my life. At one point, I was craving potato salad…It seemed like […]

Weight: 145 pounds I feel great! I made it through day one of the cleanse. I’m glad I decided to take this step in my health development. Curves Fitness Club for the last three years worked on the external physical, now I am working on the internal health. I’m glad I decided to take on […]

Weight: 147 pounds When I woke up this morning, I was a little nervous. Today is the first day of my Full Body Cleanse. I swallowed the first 5 capsules and thought…”here we go”. I had to turn down an invitation for tomorrow to attend a Jazz event. It was for an all-you-can eat and […]
