Que's Journey begins

[treilin]

I'm trying to get everything inline and on track so that I can purchase what's needed for my cleansing diet in advance, set a date and begin. (I know most of it will be fresh but some things don't have to be.)

Sassy mentions spirulina in her post comp cleansing thread so I looked it up because I didn't know what it was.

Would it be better to use spirulina or something like Emerald Balance?

If spirulina is chosen then how do I know which companies sell quality items and what a decent price for it would be?

I haven't been around anyone living a fitness lifestyle long enough to even know who's who in the supp industry and of course every site I look at brags that its product is the best etc. etc..

Sorry to be a pest.

I used the 7 cleanse product before I did a search and I can't find it. I also have tried AM PM cleanse products.. but honestly I think pills are counterproductive to cleansing...
I did do one where I was drinking a lot of decaf green tea, and Green Kamut mixed togetether. Ate only salads (raw veggies) and pure fruit juices. I tell you if you are a coffee drinker, or chocloate addict you will have migraines and feel SICK the first few days like somebody is pounding your head into the ground. After it's done though... you'll feel rejuvenated. Water levels were at least 2 gallons a day, and the bathroom HAS to be close by because yeah... Could even take it a step further and do detox baths with like Epsom salt, or get a seaweed wrap done at a spa to pull more of the 'toxins' out of the muscles/skin. Get the same with a facial. Get massage work done to move the lymph around and manually push the metabolic waste out of the muscles. AND to take it a final step try to do Hatha yoga or some sort of meditation.

T3 thanks for the info
I was thinking about doing it like this but w/o the Oxypowder: Sassy's Post Show Cleansing Diet
It seems a bit more gentle or gradual than some of the other cleansing diets I've seen, it involves actual food and there isn't any cayenne pepper involved!

Since she mentioned the spirulina and someone else on here (don't remember who...) takes the Emerald Balance I wasn't sure which one would be a better choice for me.

then the question of who makes a good quality of supplement (powdered form of these)....I'm rambling again aren't I?

2006 was soooooooooo crappy - I REFUSE to have a repeat in 2007.

I'm starting off the new year correctly so the last few days I've been adding more fruits & veggies while dropping anything and everything processed. Drinking more liquids, etc. etc.

I still plan on doing a detox diet for a minimum of 3 days but I'm still rounding up resources. IE: which stores in town carry the fresh items that I need and what has to be ordered etc. etc..

I'm kinda psyched actually. New year, clean pipes, new attitude.



For all those competing in 2007 - Good Luck !!

Mike's moving 'here'??? woo hoo for you girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do agree with Treil about the 'pill' stuff, I never had any luck taking any cleanse pill so I do think if not the actual food or spa route (I know $$) then the powder would be next.

I am on the same page with you for a great 2007, you have the right attitude

Happy to know you Q

Yes, Mike's moving here at the end of February (tenative date)
My heart speeds up everytime I think about it.

So far everything I've read regarding successful (key word) detox or cleansing programs doesn't involve a 'kit' full of pills. Almost all of them are food & juice related and the exception is the hydrotherapy.

I know that a day spa opened up in town earlier this year but I don't have any information on it - another one of those things I need to get information on.

I'm happy and honored to know you Bunny, thanks for being an inspiration.

Happy New Year girl!!!!

If you don't get their emails every day you should sign up, the daily thoughts are great. (I think most people on here already get them)

Found this pic of a heart, thought it was pretty cool.
