Mixed Greens, Strawberries & Cantaloupe Day 6- The day went well my usually cup of Yogi Detox tea in the morning along with a bowl of fruit. The sore throat feeling was gone that afternoon. I can notice the amount of energy I have, come night time I am extremely active. I spent a few hours cleaning my room and packing for my flight on Saturday. Day 7- Woke up feeling like a champion because I know I've completed my goal. At the beginning of this Raw Food Cleanse I didn't think it was possible but now that Day 7 is here I feel as if I could of went for 2 weeks. Which will be the goal for my next cleanse in the near future. This morning I went to Fit2Run (which by the way is a great fitness shop with a juice bar located in International Mall, Tampa Fl) and requested an off the menu smoothie no protein powders, no yogurt, no milk all fruit. It was delicious as expected. Also, ordered a shot of organic wheat-grass! The benefits of wheat-grass are amazin...

Healthy Snacks

This past Thursday I stopped by a health food store and picked up a few healthy snacks. These Raw Revolution bars were pretty sweet and delicious. I suggest only eating half of one bar being that it is almost too sweet.

Raw Food Cleanse Journey

Image
Day 1 Thursday - I felt as if it were a normally day I did increased my usual water intake. Kale, Mustard Greens, Strawberries and Blueberries Day 2 Friday - The cravings begin! I craved for cooked food in particular french fries and wings. I went out with my friends later that night and I found it difficult to not order my usually glass of red wine. Instead I ordered water and grapefruit juice.  After a long night of dancing with my girls, my friends stopped by a 24-hour Wal-Mart and I picked up some pineapple to snack on.  Late night snack! Day 3 Saturday - I spent the day with my mother doing errands which consisted of stopping by a hibachi grill restaurant and ordering take-out. I began to feel weak just standing inside the restaurant smelling the aroma of cooked food. I ended up having to walk out because the aroma of the food was driving me nuts lol.  While waiting in the car my actions were justified because I...

7 Day Cleanse

This Raw Food Cleanse is way harder than I expected. I am so tempted to eat everything but fruits  and vegetables. But I am officially starting my cleanse midnight. Throughout the day I will be drinking my detox tea from Yogi.

Ringing in the NEW YEAR

I have decided to clean up my diet and op for the organic, non-GMO brand when available. I STILL eat chicken, turkey, and fish every once in a while...and whenever I buy eggs I make sure they are organic, free range, and hormone free. But even though one may maintain a healthy diet every once in awhile it is always great idea to detox. With the NEW YEAR comes NEW  resolutions and I have decided to start the new year RIGHT!  I will be doing a 7-Day Raw Food Cleanse ( aka  Raw Food Detox/ Diet) If you are not sure what a Raw Food Cleanse it pretty much means only eat fruits and vegetables in their raw form... Drinking 100% Juices, Water, and Teas...
