Detox Detox Detox

For those of you have been around this past week you might be aware that Renae and I have been “detoxing”. We have willingly subjected ourselves to eating ONLY fruits and vegetables and drinking odd amounts of veggie broth, detox tea, liquid minerals and lots of juice. The goal was to cleanse our bodies from all of the garbage with the hope of “a new pep and energy for life”. I am still hopeful that something good will come of it even if it’s not the full dose of pep they speak of. If nothing else I will never take salad dressing for granted after experiencing a plate full of lettuce and raw vegetables in which I suffered through (gagging at least three times mind you) and I have acquired a new desire for more creativity in my vegetable eating. My favorite so far has been the spaghetti squash baked and topped with fresh marinara sauce. I am thankful for friends like Renae who will do these crazy experiments with me. This morining at Renae’s we had our lovely and tasty detox peach tea, right before leaving I announced that I felt something coming on. The cleansing has been a slow process and my body has not participated as planned so with this news my dear friend was excited for me and the thought of my bowels finally turning and even asked if I wanted to poop there. If that doesn’t exceed refrigerator rights then what does? I have a good, good friend.
