What does it mean to detoxify your body?
Detoxification is a self-purifying process which the body carries out at all times, but most aggressively during the early to late morning hours. It is advantageous to eat lightly in the morning. Heavy foods eaten at this time suspend the cleansing process, keeping us toxic, and, in some cases, overweight. The process of "detox" entails: 1. the cells off-loading metabolic wastes and environmental toxins into the bloodstream for filtering by the liver and kidneys for elimination, and 2. the organs of elimination (bowels, kidneys, lungs, skin, vagina) releasing metabolic, environmental and residual food wastes via feces, urine, breath, sweat and menses. Toxins are also expectorated in mucus via the throat and sinuses. (This information is from livingnutrition.com-Taken from Your Natural Diet: Alive Raw Foods by Drs. T. C. Fry & David Klein)
Many people believe that once I do a short detox program my body is rid of all of its toxins. This is incorrect information. After years and years of improper eating habits our body harbors many toxins that lead to diseases, illness, and many other symptoms. It can take months or even years to restore your body to a healthy state. The most beautiful part of our bodies is that if we start to treat them right they will heal themselves. No matter how late you start in life!

Short and sweet. I made it through the birthday weekend without over indulging in anything in particular (I did eat a little queso blanco with my mexican food/birthday feast). I admit that I took a break on the exercise..tomorrow I will wake up and jump if nothing else.

Hey guys...So I have to admit, I'd ran out of money, so I've been living off of what was in my frig/pantry. I did cheat on Resurrection Sunday, w/ a tiny fried chicken wing. But other than that I've been doing well. lots of baking, and have recently started using my george forman grill again. Great for grilling chicken and tuna melts! I think I'll put a burger on the grill (it's not fried so I can have it!! LOL)
