Day 4
Still cold, no lemon drink, no juice yet, 1 decaf, even less white rooiboss. This is working two meals no snacks in between.
Maybe I'll get the vegies out of the fridge tonight and have a juice around morning tea that isn't too cold. Celery Carrot and Parsley, I add apple or something sweet to make it better.
I haven't weighed myself and it could be tricky cos I was bloated and heavier than my usual weight at the start. Really swollen around the ankles and a small amount all over. Pretty sure my liver was swollen.
Day Three
Easier than I thought, I didn't start with the lemon drink and haven't had a juice yet, but it's really cold here at the moment, not juice or cold drink weather at all.
No sugar cravings and no longer craving the milk drinks, I did have one sweetened decaf with milk n sugar and I've been having white rooiboss. Getting there I think.

DAY TWO
It went ok, I started with the lemon drink again, still didn't make a juice or totally eat healthy food, but also still didn't have lollies or milk drinks. We have some yummy milk alcohol drinks too, the alcohol easy for me to resist, flavoured milk, sooooo hard. I didn't break out but we didn't get the davit and anchor moved from under the clothes line either. BUT I hosed it down there this evening while I hung the washing out. I'll get my plastic rug out onto the grass and begin moving stuff, I'll get them to put Jo's stuff close to where it will go and get some stuff moved.
So basically this ten day liver cleanse, is about 6 days of prepping the body, 1 day of juice cleanse and 3 days after that of raw or at least super healthy food. Feels like it's happening though, I'm not really eating very healthy food, but I'm not eating very unhealthy food.
For other people who drink alcohol, coffee , coke n eat fried food all the time, it could be more difficult i think. I've been mostly cafeine free for 18 months now and mostly gluten free for nearly as long, so head start.
BUT the gym is happening, so lets see if this one can actually become a lifestyle, I wonder what people treat themselves with when they don't eat chocolate??????

DAY ONE
Anyway it's nearly lunch time, but it's Saturday, so I've just been hangin out watching telly. I've had one hot lemon balm tea, and am now having a decaf coffee, with both milk and sugar. It's all better than the sugar and mascarpone fest I've been on.
I have made a pot of lemon balm tea, I'll jug or bottle it and drink it and perhaps another during the day. I finally understand how people can not drink enough without sweating all day long. It's been raining since about November, and it's been cool so I don't sweat and don't get thirsty.
BUT I'll drink the tea at room temperature, the cold is killing my teeth, which are also being killed by graves disease.
So I'm using the chicken mince,  garlic, ginger, mushrooms, broccoli, grated carrots, cubed sweet potato,  pumpkin, beans, mini capsicums, zucchini, fresh herbs from my garden, pepper and eggs to bake a brekkie blast, what did I call this thing? Anyway that will b lunch today. Tea to be decided, but i still have vegetables, though I'm kind of short of money until next weekend, I'll be healthy and frugal this week.
I have woken with less pain in my  mouth and throat, the Reiki helps, I'll make some time every day for some Reiki.
Today I'll join Sportsworld, twice a week aquarobics, twice a week laps and a play with some equipment a few times a week, who knows, I may end up being a big time gym junkie. I saw a house n shed in Portsmith, it's really weird, but I love it, and it has a huge shed, and an office at the front, could be a business address for Indigo Moon. AND it's close to Sportsworld. I hope it's a goer.
I think it may be time I prepared some food for this healthy eating regime.
So, craving rubbish, just because my mind knows I don't want to have it, I've eaten a lot, but healthy ok to eat stuff.

Just what we had in the fridge, makes me realise we do basically have a healthy diet, gotta stop those lolly runs at night.
I ate quite a bit of the fruit plate, to help with the sugar cravings. We have more fruit than that, but the weather is cold and fruit isn't being eaten so readily, so I stopped there.
Well,  beginning this liver cleanse has been nice n easy, cos I've gone easy with this one, I'd like one to work, and work so well that I do it once a month easily, and hopefully lose tons of fat and actually get on top of my health. I know that my fat issues are related to my Autoimmune disease, and of course it's less of a worry than losing fat like crazy. BUT I need to be healthy, HEALTH IS MY BUSINESS, I NEED TO HAVE IT, AND I NEED TO LOOK LIKE I HAVE IT TO SELL. THOSE ARE THE FACTS AS THEY ARE. I NEED MONEY SO I'D BETTER LOOK LIKE I UNDERSTAND HEALTH REALLY SOON, AND RUN A SERIES OF REIKI WORKSHOPS.

Friday 13 June 2014

It's 11.42pm here, it will show a different time, like some kind of google time, or maybe grenwich maybe not. BUT here in Cairns its 11.43pm on Friday 13th June. I've just totally farked up as much as is possible, again it's like a built in self sabotage accessory. As soon as you decide to lose some fat, all you can think about is food!!! AND eat eat eat.
So I've been reading, I've gleaned what looks like some of the most sensible information on the highway. I'll actually blog this and see how I go, but I think ten days is a suitable detox, then adding some of these things to a regular diet can only help.
THEN sticking with 80/20, but 95/5 for gluten free, that one makes me feel bad, and could be the reason for little itches beginning on m forearems.
I did have a really slack effort for work, I feel a little afraid i have Dengue, our house is in the thick of the plague area, and we have no screens. But I need to remember that my body is killing itself, a big malfunction that requires much of my time. I've really got to get that into my head. Seem to have swollen glands again, make my throat hurt, I'll get some blue velvet going actually.
I must get this Reiki stuff moving so that I can pay money onto my credit card n get my teeth fixed, my car fixed, and my general health fixed. So beginning tomorrow I will do a ten day detox and keep an actual daily blog.

Begin with hot water and citrus squeezed in to it, I'll add lemon balm for my graves disease.
Have 2 of these then a cup of rooiboss with breakfast.

Juice if it is convenient now, but daily. If you don't have a juicer, buy V8 or similar.

Breakfast is a hash of mince or sausage, vegies, herbs and eggs, cooked up to be a high protein, yummy, filling quick n easy meal. We'll call it adjective slice.
Or porridge
Or fruit, plenty of it
Or pumkin and corn bread
Or pancakes,  all gluten free.

LUNCH
I think some similar sort of hash pre prepared to take to work or have at home without dedicating too much time to a healthy lunch.
OR salad
Or slad sandwich or roll
Or a curry
I'll add dinner and acceptable sweet treats as I go. So ni night, I'll be back tomorrow to keep track of how I go. Night me, talk to me in the morning.
