Detox - An Exercise in Organization and Planning

May 12, 2013

If you've had a moment to check out the Dherbs website regarding the detox that I'll be doing, then you know the importance and vital role of raw vegetables and fruits.  So today, my Mom and I went shopping and here is a list of the things I purchased.

Romaine
Roma tomatoes
Cucumbers
Red onions
Broccoli
Red, Orange, Yellow & Green Bell Peppers 
Carrots 
Mangoes
Pineapples
Apples
Pears
Bananas
Lemons
Limes
Grapefruits
Blackberries
Distilled water
Plastic quart zip bags

When we got home, we commenced to peeling, slicing, dicing and bagging the fruits and veggies making them ready for my week's consumption.  Thank God for Mama - I wasn't feeling that great today and she suggested that I get the produce while I was home so that she could help me prepare them.

 Having the proper foods accessible and ready is key.  I already had papaya and cantelope, and pecans and cashews and will probably purchase some sunflower and pumpkin seeds.  I also plan to purchase some spinach and kale.

One of the mistakes I made in 2010 with my detox was not eating enough food nor drinking enough of water.  When eating such as this, I should have been eating more than 3 or 5 times a day.  THIS IS NOT A DIET.  I will eat as much as I need to feel satisfied and take in a good amount of water.

Planning and organizing will be a continuous process as I move throughout the cleanse.   

Peace & Blessings
