Mona’s Detox Diary

Can you believe that today of all days I am having a meltdown?! I wanted to eat like nobody’s business.  What is all the hunger about today?  I even got a little snappy at my husband.  Maybe the thought of having my daughter in laws gourmet meal of beans, brown rice and fresh guacamole was giving me a rush.  All I could do today was think about eating something warm. I felt amazing though!  I felt so clear and energized.  One of my best moments, was telling myself to keep going and…

Today is the day before the 20 days of living my best life on detox. Every day has been a day of better health and wellness. I feel a bit tired today and feel the weight falling off. I feel when the weight falls rapidly, or should I say the detox speeds up because it has broken through the layers of junk, my body needs a bit more rest. I still have layers to go through, but how wonderful to feel alive and my organs functioning well. My blood pressure has not…

Today is getting closer to the weekend. Looking forward to the many activities I have planned. I feel energized today and cut out a fruit I thought maybe was a bit more concentrated in sugar than I needed. To my surprise, I have been feeling better the last few days since not eating it. Listening to my body talk to me is the key here. Even when it says ‘let’s eat junk’. That tells me something is going on that I need to address in my life. Foods even smell differently to…

Today, was a wonderful day. I took my 92 yr old cousin out shopping and spent time with her. Great experience and such wisdom she speaks. I will say, when I returned home I needed to take care of my self. But, I didn’t have the panic to eat or extreme hunger I used to have. My live salad tasted like a million though. I even have noticed I stop eating about 5 pm daily lately. Just don’t want to eat after that. What a huge benefit. I stop and let my…

Found that great lettuce and wow is it mouth wateringly good.  Isn’t it wonderful to enjoy eating healthy even when people around you are eating like wolves!  Not nice I know.  But thank God I can love myself. Enough to eat and enjoy my road to health.  Still feel a bit tired today but I know what is going on and it is very empowering to have knowledge.  Tuesday is my day to catch up on lots of things and I have been hearing my inner voice so clear. Detox comes in many ways and…

Today I really feel tired. I must really be detoxing on another level. I didn’t want to get up and get started at all. Did a few must do things and took a nap at 9 am til 10:30 am. Felt much better. Body is slowing down and I have to respect its right to heal. That is what got me into trouble before, not respecting my body. I have been craving avocados and know that eating too many is not what I need to be doing, even if it is raw. The heat did…

Today, was hot!  And God knows how glad I am this fat is leaving my body along with the toxic way of eating.  I usually have a difficult time when it is hot, but I didn’t have the usual sluggish and lethargic ways. Today is day 14!  I did find a wonderful liquid amino acid that really has satisfied my taste buds.  I put it on my salad, made raw guacamole dip for my veggies and it tastes like something I shouldn’t have.  As I said before, I had become a bit bored with my…

What a great day.  I woke up to go out with a very special adopted daughter and her mom.  Boy did we have a blast!  We always have such fun laughing and being creative.  The thing now is that I take my thoughts and creative discussions to the next level to development.  We ran around in the morning and for some reason I wanted some coffee.  I drank about  2 ounces and was okay with that.  Not needing to continue or think about it anymore.  But I do think it had me a bit buzzed. …

Twelve days and I am now reading and becoming more informed about my next steps. It would be a shame to go so far and then revert back to eating poorly. I need to go shopping for more foods and varieties. So far I have reduced my weight by 6 lbs. That is great ! I didn’t have to starve and I am healing my body, mind and spirit. I get compliments on my eyes looking whiter and clear, my face looking more defined, instead of the puffy face I use to…

What a glorious day I am having. The world does open up when you are clear and are not weighed down by toxins. My wonderful daughter in law spent this morning talking to me about raw foods and my issue of thinking about toxic foods. Knowledge is power. Knowing who to talk to and getting solid information is crucial. She told me to read! Read the information on raw food, what foods do to you and the results of optimum health. I have been encouraged! I feel so energetic today. I have…

Today, was a wonderful day of eating avocados! I had been waiting for them to ripen since Sunday. I ate 1 and 1/2 today of avocados and they were so satisfying. I needed the diversity in my food plan like crazy. One of the wonderful things about today is that I took care of myself. I had a day full of meetings and knew that I would be 1 hour from home and preparing for today was essential. These meetings come with deserts, coffee, and toxic items galore! I woke up today…

What a day!  I am finally working on my office organization.  I feel like doing it today.  Most of the time it will take months to really get involved.  Translates into late fees, and missing bill deadlines, etc.  I even have a master calendar for the next two months laid out for my schedule.  I am feeling great!  All because I said yes to detoxing and using herbs that are fantastic! I have been focused for over 4 hours and no TV breaks!  TV is by no means a good thing for me anyway. It…

My body is truly detoxing. I feel tired and a bit like slow motion. Can’t wait for the avocados to be ripe. I need today to make my own smoothies and get started on the treadmill plan. I had a mango smoothie from a juice bar, and what a delight. Body is getting rid of things that had been laying around for a while. I made it through the weekend, and the holiday. No remorse! Great to have such a flow. Are the detox herbs magical? Before now, I would have been…

Easter Sunday, what a glorious day! Smelling all that rotten food and wanting to eat it was a temptation. Can I believe it? Yes, it did cross my mind and I wanted to just taste it. I wasn’t hungry, but wanted the social eating a bit. What made me not, was the overwhelming respect I was gaining for myself by NOT eating that dead food. The healthful way I was feeling, the lightness and clarity I was gaining everyday. I also had such a sense of wanting to help and reach out to others. I…

I had to go to COSTCO! That was nearly a meltdown. I unconsciously sample items while there and almost was tempted to try chocolate! Well I went in and came out victorious. But I guess I had to try my commitment a bit further and went to the 99 cent store looking for household items I needed. Well, that has been my most trying day and I wanted to taste something. Not really sure why 6 days had been so peaceful and all of a sudden it seemed a bit more challenging. But I do…

Wow, today I have been up a bit later than usual, its now 9:34 pm. My energy is increasing every day and I feel so much less toxic. And again, with that a sense of calm and well being. Why do I feel the need to almost hold my breath when I take the charcoal? It does not have a smell or taste. What’s up with that! But what a sense of accomplishment and inspiration to have made it 5 days! I have not eaten as many nuts as I did in the beginning and…

Wow, today is already Thursday! My fourth day on the detox and I feel good. I finally seem to sleep so much more peacefully and much more at length. I have taken my first two am herbs and reach more for good eats without thinking. I really have not even felt the coffee cravings I diligently had. I was a true coffee drinker. My coffee had to have regular coffee and a espresso shot on all my ordinary days. Today for some reason I really feel the need to talk about my food addictions. I…

Today got off to a busy start. I couldn’t take my herbs for the first two designated times. But, I did prevail! I took my 1st dose at 11 and second at 12 and my 12 dose at 1pm. I want to be successful. I want to take care of myself. And this seems to be a lot less stressful than I thought it would be. My older children are so supportive. They brought me more raw nuts today and have encouraged me in such a divine way. I am so blessed to have such…

I made it through day one! I woke up much easier and sprung into my day. I had a busy morning and caught up on my herbs after 10 am. I did not realize until later that I did not have coffee. But I have not even missed it. I went shopping at Trader Joe’s for raw food and found some of the items I like. Will go to Whole Foods and the Coop later on this week. I found as the day went on that the nuts seem to hold me over…

Today is my day to do the right thing! Just returned home and stopped off for a smoothie at Whole Foods. Today is day one on my detox. I feel ready and look forward to eating healthy and making better choices. I have taken my first round of herbs and will play catch up as I am behind already by 2 missed times. I am feeling tired and want to feel and look better. My health is the real concern here, not my usual vanity issue. I have had a group of…
