Day 10 & Day 11

Day 10, was a snow day, and we just stuck to our plan, but nothing exciting happened, but today is Day 11, and if you've been reading ya know what the means, MEAT!!!! reading that you'd think we get to eat a  big steak or something juicy, but really we get to have about 2 chicken tenders or something around that size. It's a feast for us, considering we have had not meat, dairy, bread, grains, for 11days.

Today we are having
fruit for breakfast
sp complete shake, made with frozen fruit
veggie soup with turkey
sp complete shake, made with frozen fruit
turkey burgers with peppers and onions

Day 9, not much going on

Would really like to not get up before the alarm.  We still have lots of energy & feeling good. but not much to say, we miss food. Don't get us wrong we are eating, almost every twenty minutes there is something going in our mouths, but its not satisfying. we are not feeling like we sat down and had a meal. we are committed, and will follow through, just want to whine a little.

Today we had,
Fruit for breakfast
SP Complete shake, made with blueberries and banana
Grilled veggies for lunch
Sp Complete Shake, make with pineapple
Mixed vegetable stir fry

lots and lots of water.

Day 7 and 8 are we done yet!

OK so day seven, was not great. While stir fry was on the menu for us, others in our family had....steak covered in A1 sauce, baked potatos, smoothed in butter, and ice cream cake. Yesterday was very unsatisfying. We had, fruit for breakfast, quick salads for lunch, stir fry for dinner and our 2 shakes were made with mixed berries.

Oh day 8, still feeling dissatisfied. Nothing is filling. We are counting down the days till 11. When we can have some meat, yayyyy meat. The more we think about foods we can't have the more we want them, the list is long. We need to get over this hump.

Today We are Having
8:30 Fruit
10:30 SP Complete Shake made with pineapple
12:30 Salad
5:00 Dinner, grilled eggplant and mixed veggies
7:30 SP Complete shake Made with fruit

Snacking on fruits and veggies through out the day, and pleanty of water

Day 6

Things are pretty simple today. Still getting up way before necessary but feeling good and having lots of energy. 

This morning again our fruit.
Lunch was red cabbage salad.
Dinner Quinoa & Wild rice medley with sauteed spinach. 
Pineappe & mixed fruit for our shakes.

Not finding ourselves hungry maybe the stomachs are shrinking too!

Oh Boy It's Day 5

This morning the scale was calling and one of us succumbed and then didn't even believe it. It was like taking a pregnancy test, you get the + but go back three times to make sure. The scale was not lying 10 pounds lighter, it was moved around the room, to make sure the floor was not affecting the results, and guess what it wasn't! So far we are being affected differently, we are both getting full nights sleep, that is a good.  The bad thing is getting up before the alarm!!! One of us is a bit deficient in something as they tried to put the frozen vegetables in the cabinet.  That was hysterical.  We seem to be accomplishing more in a day too.  7 more days till we can eat some MEAT!!! Oh the meat - what will it be?? there's so many choices!!! 

Today We Had:
  8:00 Canary Melon
11:00 SP Complete Shake- made with mixed berries
12:30 Kale Soup
  4:30 SP Complete Shake- made with frozen pineapple
  6:30 Spaghetti Squash with garlic and oil

'Ho Humm Day 4

Today we again woke from a good full nights sleep and before our alarms! (haven't decided if this is a good thing or not -definitely love our sleep) We had an early morning walk and have average energy. We accomplished a lot of tasks before 11am! That part was a great thing! The not great part is craving food you can't have and that is making one of us is a little grouchy.

Today We Had:
  8:30 Apples & nectarines
11:30 SP Complete Shake made with Blueberries and Strawberries
12:00 Spinach & beet salad for lunch.
  5:30 Vegetable soup for dinner.
  7:00 SP Complete Shake Made with Frozen Mixed Berries

As always we snack on veggies and drink enough water to fill a pool.

Over the Hump - Day 3

We are back both on the same page today.  Lots of energy & enthusiasm.  Feeling really good!
It is possible dare we say that we may be carrying less weight around but refuse the scale for now at least. Slept great and woke up with no issue to want to lay around for a few more minutes.

Today we are
roasting our own red peppers for spinach salad & having peas n onions for lunch
dinner is roasted eggplant peppers zucchini beets & sweet potato
we did blueberry banana & orange strawberry in our shakes

feeling much better but still would love some peanut butter :-)

Standard Process Purification Day 1

As you may know, for those of you who lurk, one of us is a widow, who's husband died of cancer. We took a hard look at our families, and decided we were all unhealthy. We feel it is very important for us to make a serious life change. We feel the cure for cancer and other diseases is the prevention of it. Our first step on this journey is a 21 day cleanse to start on our road to a healthier existence. Because misery loves company , we  thought we should share our experience in hopes to effect others to also want to be more healthy.

"Illness or disease is only Nature's warning that filth has accumulated in some portion or other of your body; and it would surely be the part of wisdom to allow Nature to remove the filth, instead of covering it up with the help of medicines" Mahatma Gandhi (1921).

This has nothing to do with wieght loss, although if some weight loss should occur this is a benifit we'll gladly take! This is a 21 day whole body purifiction. During the first 11 days we can only indulge in fruits and veggies! YIKES! Were doing good so far although ONE of us is a bit cranky!
Plus were peeing so much we could fill a pool! So wish us luck, send us your streangth to avoid temptation, ie: peanut butter and chocolate, cheese and bread! Oh yes icecream and yorgurt too!

8am: Apple, Pear, Half an orange and some grapes
