(Detox Day 1) My 21 day experience with Joshi's Alkaline Diet detox programme

Well..my day started a little rushed than I wanted to. So I headed to work without (what is going to be a morning ritual) my hot water and lemon drink, followed by my chosen supplements, then my muesli with rice milk and a chopped up banana. So I headed back home for a late breakfast followed by a late lunch/early dinner. This did throw me off quite a bit hunger wise so I must plan for more time tomorrow morning.

I don’t feel as though I hit my water goal of 2L either so I will need to pre pour in the morning. I think if I can have a container that needs to be emptied before bedtime then I will have a greater chance of success.

I did not put any exercise into my day but as the 1^st week nears the end I will aim for some.

I tried Turmeric for the first time. I just sprinkled some on brown rice as part of my supper. I am thinking that maybe adding it to the water would work better? I sure did miss butter as I ate the rice but the new found spice made it palatable.

I am experiencing a bit of a headache this evening so I have made some camomile tea and am enjoying it with a bit of raw honey (it doesn't leave a stain like red wine when you miss your mouth just a little bit).

Sitting at a table to eat while I chew adequately without drinking any fluids is proving to be a toughie for me. I love to multi task far too much and feel as though sitting and eating is a waste of time. A thought I will have to change.

It’s funny how you begin to feel healthier just by one excellent meal choice. I look forward to seeing how much better I will feel by the end of the 21 days. But first I must journey through the first few days, which I worry will be hard for my body to adjust too, after the junk I have eaten over the last few months.
