Day 43

Well Day 43 almost half way through my 90 day detox! Yes I am pleased with the results so far.  I as mentioned in previous blogs have a much less coughing.

I feel a need to stay honest because of the Feel Fit girls who know I am doing this and also because I have committed to writing this blog.

So her is the honesty, I fell of the no sugar detox and had several tlbs of honey and cinnamon. I had just read on face book how honey and cinnamon have many health benefits and I wanted something sweet so chose to believe it at that moment. However what was going to be only 1 tlbs turned into 3-4! I repeated the honey/cinnamon fix a week later.

I also fell of the no wine/ alcohol last Friday evening and had 2 glasses of white wine. Barb  felt I should celebrate  my half way mark in the detox. It was something about 40 days and 40 nights. Mind you it didn't take a lot of convincing. 

I treated myself this week to a coconut /pineapple milkshake. It was a little flat so I added dates and sunflower seeds. The dates gave it the sweetness I required.

Thank goodness more restaurants are adding gluten free choices to their menus. Last Mon. after visiting family in Carelton Place we found a restaurant "Bally Giblins which had a full page of gluten free choices!

To my surprise Billy T's had gluten free individual size pizza's. 

Pizza is one of the fast foods that I missed the most and now thank goodness I can get it now right in Shawville Domino's have a very good gluten free pizza as well.

I have to thank Ruth at the Cafe for her excellent gluten free pasta salad she made today for our Feel Fit meeting.

Now wish me luck as I continue towards the second half of the detox! I have not gotten sick. Touch wood!

Happy New Year's! day 32!!!

Happy New Year's to myself and all readers! I am on day 32 and have not had 1 glass of wine except a sip of communion, not even at mid night last night! And you know what? I did not even miss it!!
I enjoy drinking water knowing I am flushing away all those toxins and getting rid of germs  that seem to be fling around at this time of year.

This program so far seems to be working, over the holidays other years has been a challenge for me and I often get sick but even with Jenn sick before Christmas and Lulu sick at New Years I so far have stayed healthy. I drink lots of hot water and fresh squeezed lemon and sometimes I put fresh ginger in it or turmeric and I continue to use 2 drops of peppermint oil in hot water as well. The wild oil of oregano is helping I am sure.

I had 1&1/2 cup of coffee on Christmas day and seemed to have a gastric issue. It might have been coincidental but not sure so have stayed away from it ever since. I continue with the aloe drink as well.

I had a little chocolate and a little gluten and dairy New Year's eve afternoon. I noticed a repeated twinging in my right side a few hours afterwards so must be diligent regarding those items as well.

Now that the holidays are over it will be easier for me to maintain my detox of no sugar, no dairy, no gluten and no alcohol and no coffee!

After 90 days I will start to reintroduce a few items at a time or maybe have to stay on this plan for the rest of my life!!! Yiks!!.

I do feel better and look better as well with the weight loss.

32 days down and 58 to go! I am doing well!
