Well here it s Day 22 of 90 day detox!.

Results I have noticed: I am not coughing as much! Yahoo, Yahoo!

I have even decided not to colour  my hair with the support of my hair dresser who totally understands my concern for not wanting to add toxic hair products to my hair. Now this decision may not hold for all 90 days as my hair is very fine and has little body. The colouring gives it body and does look better.
I have cheated as Christmas company came (my family) I have had  a piece of brownie (gluten free) which contains lots of sugar! I do believe sugar adds to my coughing problem.
I also had cranberries which contained sugar and a bowl of jellied salad. Christmas is a hard time to stay pure. Sugar is in so many things!I made a very good turkey dressing with gluten free bread, mixed with sweet potato and coconut oil instead of butter.
I have been able to stay away from dairy except for a little milk in the omelet I made for breakfast.

I have been searching the web for cures for asthma and here are some interesting things I found:
Asthma is on the increase in children in NA. Some research points to allowing children to be exposed to dirt, animals and day care which supposedly helps the immune system??

Asthma according to one doctor can be cured by drinking lots and lots of water. One should drink 1/2 their body weight in fluid ounces every day. This does help me, I am very sure I feel better and do not get sick when I drink H2O and flush out my system.

Another remedy was to drink boiling water with garlic in it. I tried this once and I do believe garlic helps keep me healthy.
Another gal suggested putting  peppermint oil, 2 drops in your water, and drink it. I tried this also and found it helpful as well. Any oil is good. I also firmly believe wild oil of oregano (2 drops under my tongue) keeps me healthy also.

So with all this effort I am trying to stay free from illness. I also definitely am continuing with my usual  medication.

I also think one of the remedies is to get lots of sleep. I require a lot of sleep. Some nights for no reason I do not sleep and I can tell my system works harder on those days.

So wish me luck as I continue on my plan for another 68 days!

Well today is day 16 of my detox and I am proud of my accomplishments. Apart from a rare lick of honey on a spoon I have stayed away from sugar and I guess honey is not so bad, a pure and natural sweetener.
This weekend was a bit of a challenge for the detox as we were away with our Grandson over night Sat. in the city. I managed with the help of Alex who found me gluten free sodium filled chips in the vending machine at the hockey rink. Going out to eat with family is fun but you do not eat as well as at home. Never sure of how much GM food I am consuming?? or how many additives either??

I do notice results and according to Audrey I did not cough until the very end of my yoga class last Tuesday evening. Now the downside of feeling so clear of sinus issues is that I neglected to get up and take my asthma puffers after lying down Sat evening. I am obviously coughing a lot more . I have learned my lesson no matter how tired I am I must get up and take my medication.

Eventually I might not have to take my meds but that might be a long way off. I am very optimistic and am trying to visualize perfect health.

As well as feeling clearer I  have lost weight which is a plus and a boost.

Today the yoga girls had a pot luck after yoga we ate very healthy foods. I made a quinoa salad with Thai peanut sauce.
I did not make a Christmas cake this year as the fruit is loaded with sugar. I am taking this very seriously! I remember my dear friend Patsy going to a nutritionist and telling me cancer loves sugar!! After reading Susanne Somers book, "Knockout" this fall I realize how important food and diet are in maintaining good health.

So now the Christmas season is here and I must be strong and maintain this healthy goal which I have set for myself. It really isn't so hard as I have committed myself to it!

Only 74 more days! After that who knows what I'll eat. I'll keep periodically posting so keep following.

Hello Girls,

I am trying to stay healthy by following a detox program. I am into day five so far. I am trying  this for 90 days!!! This is to see if my asthma improves. I am not eating any gluten or dairy which is not a change, no corn, no alcohol (not even wine!) No sugar and trying to eat organic as much as possible and no GM foods. I am trying to normalize my ph levels. I am using a bar of Himalyan salt for soap, tooth paste and deodorant. No toxans are going to to touch my body except maybe my husband! LOL!
I am going to try to drink my aloe vera juice concentrate every day. I also am taking a probiotic everyday.
I cook with coconut oil and follow the Fast Metabolism program for food. Hopefully I will  reduce my mucus production in my body and my asthma will be improved.

I also shall try to drink half my body weight in water each day.

I shall try to add a post to let you know how I am doing every week. Wish me luck on our Feel Fit Facebook page.
This program was recommended to me by Jo Anne who runs a Health food store in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Fitfully Yours,
Muriel

Congratulations to all the organizers and fellow walkers in the Relay for Life on Saturday night. Over $106,000 were raised. We did it again another year.

Hello fellow feel fitters.

I am loving the rain as I don't have to water our flowers as often.

Also don't forget if you want to go on a wonderful 4 day yoga retreat to Alexandria Ont this  Sept 9th -12th just let me know. We still have room for more and the food and yoga are fabulous. Last June 18 of us sweated and got into great shape and most of the girls are signed up to do it again this fall. The cost is very reasonable. Let me know if you are interested.
