bleh bleh and more bleh

I've got a few posts to some other MVDD folks at http://marthasvineyarddetoxdiet.ning.com/profile/Chell

I stared the day with AcaiSplash. It made me feel like I was going to vomit.



Next was Maximum Greens: I couldn't even finish this one but I certainly tried!



"Lunch" was VegeSplash: I was actually able to drink ALMOST every last drop of this one. It tasted like a very very salty (warm) tomato. I must use colder water next time!





I've been able to drink plenty of water - mostly to wash the taste away - and have made several trips to the bathroom to pee. I drink another vegesplash at 2 and a green drink at 4. I'm also taking digestive enzymes and inner cleanse capsules throughout the day. Not sure how I feel about those but I'm giving this 100% of my effort before I judge the results.

I have tried a few teas today but no luck in that department either. The green tea was about to come back up and I had barely touched it. I'll keep trying some other options but not too pressed. I was never a big coffee drinker and I do enjoy plain unflavored water so I am perfectly content with sipping water all day as usual.


On the plus side, I am not hungry and the only thing I feel like I am craving, aside from some saltines for the bile, is some fresh veggies. I am looking forward to my soup puree tonight. We stocked up on a ton of beautiful vegetables yesterday and they are just begging to be used.

I had my first colonic after work. Not at all what I expected. Everything I had heard and read had mentioned a Y shaped tube, lying on yoru side and a hydrotherapist administering it. Instead, I had a reclined chair contraption and the only administering she did was come in to turn the water on and then off. I also had expected a lot more cleaning to take place but the water was mostly clear with a few nuggets. (Sorry for the TMI!) The tech said I was most likely constipated. I'll stick with it for the 4 week cycle but I really hope to see more results next week.

I had Asian Spinach soup for dinner. OMG I loved it! I really enjoyed it pureed. I gave my husband the other half of the soup (unpureed) and he really enjoyed it as well. I also made my first live juice - carrots, ginger, cucumber and broccoli - yummy! Hubby snagged the pulp from the bin and ate that for dessert with some oil/vinegar on it. Nothing going to waste in our house! He is such a fabulously supportive man. He will lose weight on the sidelines simply by eating soups with me and promising not to snack in front home me ;-)
