Day 6 - SPP Cleanse

So how's the Standard Process Purification Cleanse going so far?  Well, I'm on Day 6 of 21, and I've noticed a couple things:
1) I think my face is clearing up! I have less breakouts!  Plus, my skin actually feels smoother; perhaps it's the recent delightful sun exposure?
2) I have no digestive issues.
3) My clothes are fitting slightly better.
4) I feel healthy, in control, and guilt free!

When is the best time to visit the farmer's market?  Right before it closes for the day.  Yesterday Angela and I scored 6 pints of gorgeous strawberries for $10 (normally $3 each).  We washed and de-stemmed them, put them in ziplocs, and then froze them.  This will provide at least a week's worth of smoothies for me!


9:00 - smoothie (carrot, apple, spinach, strawberries, flax seed & flax oil) - I missed the banana! :-(
11:45 - brown rice with bok choy stir fry, spring salad (snap peas, golden beets, radish, parsley)
2:45 - 15 min chair massage (massages are important for detoxification AND relaxation)
3:00 - leftover lentils, onions, mushrooms, green pepper with adobo sauce
4-5:00 zumba dance class
6:30 - smoothie
8:00 - steamed artichokes dipped in balsamic vinegar and lentil garlic hummus (homemade)
