Day 4 Knocked at My Door

Another successful day today. There were some consistencies as well as some nuances that I can't wait to share with you. This detox experience is making me a more well-rounded person in every sense of the word, especially when it comes to food choices. I am trying out foods that I've never had "true" dealings with except that they were prepared for me by someone else, so I didn't know the "true" process of them getting to my plate. Before we go into the nuances, let's talk about some things that we're all familiar with:

• POOPS - I had not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4 but 6 POOPS TODAY! Whoo! All of those toxins were just flowing freely (if you know what I mean).
• WEIGHT - I shared with you that over the past 3 days I have lost 2 pounds each, which totals what? Come on math scholars, what is 2+2+2 or 2*3? You guessed it, 3 pounds...just kidding, 6. Well today was a little different. I did a little weight challenge just to see what was going on. 
• When I awoke at 5:51am to have my 1st poop, I stepped on the scale prior and I weighed 137.6.
• I took my 1st poop and weighed myself again - 135.8 - WOW! A whole 1.8 pounds of waste down the toilet...literally, and it's a good thing too.
• I took my 2nd poop at 6:16am and weighed myself afterwards...135.4 - I released .4 pounds of toxins.
• Onto the 3rd poop at 6:46am - you know the routine by now and the scale said...oh, I was too tired and went back to sleep after this poop. I was so tired that I forgot that I had even pooped a 3rd time. I'm glad this forgetfulness surfaced after my poop and not in the bed prior.  Wait a minute, I just consulted my notes and realize that I DID take my weight after the 3rd poop - I had just finished taking Formula #1 at 6:30am and drinking 2 glasses of water - I weighed 136.4 pounds; I gained 1 pound with water intake.
• The 4th poop took place at 6:56am (yup, a whole 10 minutes later) and I weighed 135 pounds...which means I lost 1.4 pounds of toxins. 
• IF YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING ALONG WITH THE MATH, YOU WILL SEE THAT I LOST A TOTAL OF 3 POUNDS FROM YESTERDAY TO TODAY; which is a total of 9 pounds over the last 4 days.

Of course I was really concerned at this point so texted April Chapman. Here is what she had to say:

"It's waste you're losing - Toxic waste. Think about how many times you're going to the bathroom? When you see overweight people, all that fat is nothing more than waste, toxic waste. Lodged in the cells and tissues of our bodies. It makes you look at being heavy in a whole new light".

So of course me being me, my next question was if this 9 pound release of toxins meant that I had consumed 9 pounds of toxins from the time that I detoxed until now. Here is what April had to say about that:

"Not necessarily. The first round scratched the surface. The second round is going deep. Remember how long you were on prescription meds? Think about how long your diet has been less than optimal.  It's years of toxins. Layers and layers of stuff that has been compromising your immune system throughout the years."


Made perfect sense to me, how about to you?  If you haven't made the decision to detox yet, think about all of those layers and pounds of toxins that you are carrying around... SELAH - which means "think about it."

Ok, I added some new things today. Let's start with the addition of avocado to my salad. April shared that avocados help with joint pain. My journey started with the purchasing of them, which wasn't hard but what to do with them when I got home was a whole 'nother venture.  Here are some pics:

I wasn't sure what the difference was so I bought 2; 1 green and I guess the other is called Hass?

I totally butchered this bad boy but, it served the purpose.

What a BIG seed...Sheesh!

Voila! The finished product was worth the trouble -

Almond Berry Avocado Salad

YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHAT OTHER NUANCES THERE ARE BESIDES 6 POOPS, 9 POUNDS, AND AVACADOS BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO STAY TUNED FOR DAY 5 IN ORDER TO FIND OUT. ;-)
