Bloated and Emotional Liver Cleasing... ;)

Two Interview Updates:

*Mr. M and I will be speaking with the marvellous Revvell over at ‘Let’s Talk Raw’ this Sunday, from 6pm Pacific Time – a wedding special ;) See HERE for the details and to send your Qs in for A–ing ;)

*A few days back we did another yummy interview with the lovely Tanisha Marshall on ‘Keep It Real Radio’, about how to overcome the challenges of being raw ;) You can check out the archive of that HERE.

ENJOY... :)

on April the 29th I had:

1 quart water
1 quart beetroot/apple juice
3 cups energy soup with chunks of tomato on the side, followed by half an oatmeal cookie :)
3 cups water
2 cups greeeeen juice: celery, cucumber, fennel, Jerusalem artichoke, parsley, dandelion, spinach, ginger, lemon
3 romaine wraps stuffed with avo, dulse, tomato, followed by handful of Celestial Cina–Pecan nutz
3 cups water

OOoOoOoooo, me excited. A version of one of my all–time favourite songs – ‘Change is Gonna Come’ – has just been put up on YouTube from the ‘Playing for Change’ crew – LOVE IT :) You may remember the ‘song around the world’ version of Stand By Me I posted here a while back, which montaged buskers/street musicians from around the world singing the same song (and has been viewed nearly 10 MILLION times now ;O...well, lots of those different musicians gathered together recently in New Orleans and did some shows – LOVE this song – check it out:



The ‘Playing for ChangeCD/DVD apparently just came out too – yummy – I’d love to see and hear those... :)

on April the 30th I had:

1 quart water
1 quart beet/apple juice
romaine wraps stuffed with grated cucumber/avo/sunflower seed/dill/garlic mixture, plus dulse and tomato, followed by ½ an oatmeal cookie
3 cups water
2 cups greeeeen juice: celery, cucumber, fennel, Jerusalem artichoke, parsley, dandelion, spinach, ginger, lemon
2 cups water
big bowl of gorgeous cherries with ice cream :)
3 cups water

PHEW...today was Day 4 of drinking the beet/apple juice for the liver cleanse...some observations:

*I am feeling SOOOOOOO bloated from the apple/beet juice...32oz of this mixture is SUCH a lot of sugar, causing masses of fermentation...I feel like every cell of my body is packed out to capacity...even my ring which is usually a little big for me is snug on my finger right now... ;) Looking forward to the FLUSH part of this process sometime this weekend, to get this liver–cleansing over ;)

*Bodily excretions are currently pink/red from the masses of beetroot juice being imbibed...a little bizarre ;) (Sorry if that's TMI for anyone ;)

*Moodiness, sensitivity and emotional turbulence definitely in action the last few days (largely from detoxing cacao of course ;) ...found myself spontaneously crying tears of joy watching some young girls skipping today, for example – lol ;)

Living with Liver Love,
