Day 1 of Detoxification

As the Spring Equinox fast approach's us in 2 days I have decided to start my spring detoxification today.

I had a great Monday evening with my Husband's and son's hockey team as they won their semi-final series against Ajax. The boys played really hard over the past 6 games and deserved to win. The team celebrated together after the game with a late dinner and some drinks. I decided to have a draft beer and really enjoyed it as it went down. The emotions of all the parents were fairly high and many of us were enjoying a pint or two.
When I woke up on Tuesday morning, I felt like I got hit with a baseball bat in my head. I did not like how I was feeling at all. It is amazing when you haven't had any alcohol for awhile how sensitive your body reacts. First thing, Tuesday morning, I drank my trusty lemon water but instead of one glass, I had 2! It took all day for me to feel better. I didn't like that one bit.

I have decided to follow a detox plan that I have been successful with ,years past. I only recommended this plan under the supervision of a health professional. I am following the Master Cleanse detox for the next 3 days and will introduce green vegetables on the 4th day in the juice form. Over the years,I have adapted my program to suit my lifestyle. I have been detoxing over the past 18 years and most work. However,I believe the best step for anyone who is looking to purchase or start their own detox program is to first eliminate alcohol, caffeinne, sugar and any processed food first. Do not waste your money on any kits until you have cleaned up your diet. Then and only then, ask a professional for what detox plan is suitable for you and your lifestyle. After you clean up and eliminate processed foods from your diet then you can reintroduce some much need good bacteria back to your diet. After this, then consider a more intense detox program.

14 years ago, I followed the Master Cleanse for 21 days, and had many positive effects and I some point I will write about those effects, most being spiritual.

Wish me luck!!
