Day 2 - Start well, MUST finish well
The day started well with oranges, carrots and spinach salads. Then I took my daughter to the movies. There are no Superfoods at the movies, only butter drenched popcorn, gigantic slushies, and free candy. It was my daughter's first time at the movies, and I will use that as my excuse for eating all of the nasty diet crushing things. Lizzy loved all of the treats, and I will admit that I did as well. :-(
Tomorrow I will finally put up my statistics and current pics, therefore solidifying the start. There is a Christmas party on Monday that I am obliged to attend, and am thinking of bringing a platter of fruit and veggies. At least if it's there, all the other goodies won't tempt me as much, even if I'm the only one that eats it.
Thinking of doing a 7 day fast soon to kick-start the removal of toxins. I wonder if the Superfoods are as affective if I have all these toxins and guck in my body? The fast will have to start on Tuesday ( 3 days away). I am going to prepare by eating as many Superfoods and raw foods as possible until then.
Cheers!

The PAIN of toxic build up!
Day 1 - Start to get over the habit
It's morning. My daughter comes into my room and wakes me up (she's better than an alarm clock). When breakfast comes around, the first thing I think of is cereal or toast.
I am supposed to start today! How could I have forgotten already? Habits; bad habits can be hard to break, especially at 6am in the morning. Instead of the usual breakfast, we opt for a healthier alternative. Oranges. Oranges are supposed to be a Superfood because of the high levels of vitamin C and phytonutrients it contains. I also had some carrots and lots of water. My daughter has her usual yogurt and cheerios.
As the day progresses, my stomach starts to really ache. I eat some more carrots and a spinach salad (another Superfood). After 1/2 hour my stomach continues to ache, and the pain progresses throughout my body. Now I have a headache, and am extremely moody. All I can think of is eating some carbs.
I went online and researched what could be causing the aches and pains. I came across alot of sites that stated it was because my body was trying to get rid of some toxins. I didn't think that the detox process could start so soon, but again I did consume a lot of caffeine pre-journey.
Hopefully day 2 is less painful and more successful. { I ended up having some bread... :-( }

To leap or not to leap?
DAY 0 - The day before the beginning
Taking the first steps in a journey always seem to be the hardest. The majority of North American people follow a fast food diet, and I was no exception. I say 'was' because I feel starting this blog should motivate myself into taking the first leap. The first leap in many life changing leaps to come.
I just bought this e-book on Superfoods, and am planning on using it to supplement a raw foods diet. I feel that if these Superfoods are consumed the most, then the raw foods diet must be at its optimal level.
Some inexpensive Superfoods are: oranges, garlic, broccoli, and spinach
Integrating the above superfoods into my diet (now raw foods) is going to be my starting point. Once the first week is successfully completed, then I will add more expensive Superfoods.
Cheers to good health!
