detox

the national boycott starts in about two weeks. i think i’m going to shift gears and fast for the whole week. i’ll start the first day with an absolute fast, then green vibrance in the morning and in the evening, a fruit or vegetable shake loaded with vitamins in mid-day and water all day long.

if that doesn’t detox me, nothing will.

i tried a hydrocolonic a few months ago to clean out my large intestine and it was great but i want to go further. i’ve found a program that will thoroughly clean out my small and large intestine in 7 to 10 days so i’m going to detox for kwaanza. i’ll drink plenty of water and i intend to have 2 oz of wheatgrass every day. by 12/30, i’ll be done with it. i can start the new year with a clean slate, literally. new year, new me.

i woke up today and realized something. i don’t like turkey.

actually, i’ve never liked turkey: smoked, roasted, fried—none of it. how many times have i sat at the table as a child (and later as an adult) and didn’t get what i wanted on my plate and ate it anyway? some dried out piece of white meat that everyone thinks is so choice and i didn’t want it. i’d rather have salmon.

and wouldn’t you know it? the first thanksgiving included things like oysters and lobster and salmon and a primitive version of popcorn (it was a lot like corn nuts). now that’s a table i could pull my chair up to, with relish.

well. this thanksgiving is going to be different.

i want a clean slate. i want to clean out my system of whatever residual gunk that’s probably there. don’t get me wrong. i’m very healthy, i eat right, i excercise. i just lost 20 lbs (and counting). i want to be my optimum best physically and i’m not there yet.

i did some research online about detoxing with a juice fast http://altmedicine.about.com/od/detoxcleansing/a/7dayjuicefast.htmand found a two week program http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/dietarytherapy/a/Detox_Diet_Plan.htm that’s ideal for me. i’ve done a juice fast before and i already eat the way the first week of the program suggests and i don’t drink alcohol or do drugs recreationally, so it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch. my liver is probably in pristine condition. i think i want to do it in the month of november, probably right when everyone is eating their brains out.

and then i can go meatless, eat good clean things and end the year well.

it’s a two week detox plan that makes a lot of sense to me:

i’m thinking if i can do this, at the end of the two week period, i’ll get a hydracolonoscopy (i know that’s not what it’s called, but it’s close!) and then i’ll be clean and clear at the start of the fall season.

i’d like to cleanse this way at least twice a year. every season sounds ideal.
