7 Day Detox

As you can see, I'm not much of a blogger. I'm going to try to improve!

Bob and I are on the fourth day of a 7 day detox and feeling great! We started with a 24 hour water and lemon juice fast Thursday evening at 6:00 until Friday evening at 6:00.

We were going to start eating fruit at that point but we decided to continue with the liquids so we had blended watermelon for my Friday evening meal. Saturday we had more watermelon juice, some orange and pineapple juice and a tomato and cucumber juice.

Then we did another 24 hour water fast, this time no lemon juice. We had planned to go to a raw food potluck on Sunday but, even though we were feeling pretty good, we decided to stay home and take it easy. All in all the day went pretty well but by 6:00 p.m. we were definitely ready for our mono meal of fruit, I had three mangoes and Bob had a big bowl of cut up watermelon. It feels so good to give your digestive system a rest.

The rest of the week is raw fruit and vegetables, no fat or salt. I'm going to try to eat as many mono meals as possible, something I find hard to do, and green smoothies with lots of greens.

I'm doing this detox with around 700 other "raw divas" on a website called www.therawdivas.com and Bob, being the wonderful husband he is, is doing it with me.
Check it out, I'm sure you'll find it interesting.

Time to call it a day.
