What was your New Year's Resolution? Bet you can't even remember what it is anymore ... Lawrence and I made a new year's resolution this year that is probably the best one we have ever made. We decided to go on a detox, not for a week, but for a month!
Our usual meal in the morning consists of orange juice, cereal, toast and sometimes a softboiled egg, all washed down with at least 1 cup of coffee. Hey, one of the great things about being retired is that you get to enjoy a leisurely breakfast and read the morning paper.
This detox diet went like this ... Drink two big glasses of water (at least 20 oz.) and make ourselves a big glass of green juice to go along with the water. Yikes! Are we crazy? Oh we would still get to read the newspaper but with no coffee to soothe nerves that are jangled after reading how horrible things are in the world.
Our daughter, Carissa said that she wanted to give it a try because she has decided to change her style of eating completely and this was going to start her on the right road. Then she told us that this detox would last a month! "Yeah right," we said, "Well, we can try it for at least a week and see what happens then.
We agreed to join her and discovered the goodness of making your own veggie juice. We bought a juicer online - good service, no shipping charges from Amazon - this wonderful machine came in the big box right to our door.
