Soak Your Nuts - Raw Vegan Cleanse

I am a day and some change away from the onset of my raw vegan cleanse. March 4th is almost here. I was introduced to the book Soak Your Nuts by my bestie Denae Hannah! The author of the book is Karyn Calabrese and she looks amazing having been on this earth for over 6 decades!

Ever since I was introduced to alkaline water (Follow this link to learn about alkaline water: http://kangendemo.com/), I have been interested in how to make my diet more alkaline. Actually, I feel like there are so many conversations with various friends, i.e Kate (another one of my besties), have led me to this mental state.  Thanks to Denae, I found a program that would actually facilitate my changing eating habits. A 28 day cleanse. How did she convince me to do this?!!! If you know me well, you know that I have a major sweet tooth. I am (was) almost controlled by sweets. But supposedly, this cleanse is suppose to help your body crave "good" food.

There are so many reasons why I wanted to try this cleanse and I will list them in bullet form because I'm not too crazy about writing paragraphs. I'm not too crazy about writing period but I want you to be in the loop.

• I now live in a big city where there are a lot of pollutants and toxins that I encounter on a daily basis. Karyn advises to detox in these situations.
• Banging Body! I have a belly pooch that I have been trying to get rid of for the longest. If you know me well, you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you don't know me well, you think I have lost my mind because you see me as a skinny torso walking on toothpicks as legs. My goal is to have a feminine yet muscular body with just enough body fat to be healthy. (I will post before and after pics)
• If this is truly the fountain of youth, I want in on it! Karyn looks amazing and she claims to not had any surgery.
• Karyn doesn't see this cleanse as simply a physical experience, she sees it as a wholistic (David, I spelled it with a "w" just for you :) ) experience. She claims that this cleanse will affect the mind, body, and spirit. She encourages daily meditation of some sort. And for those of you who know me well, know that I will be "Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo"ing in up!!! I'm committing to chanting 2/day. I'm really stoked about that because I've been slacking on my chanting. 
• I am looking for this cleanse to increase my energy. I would say that I feel lethargic almost everyday and I'm quite convinced it's because of what I put into my body. ALL OF THAT SUGAR WEARS ME DOWN!
• Clear mind! I am pretty forgetful these days. I promise I ask David where I put something everyday. (David is the love of my life, in case you didn't know. I also want to give him a shout out and some besos y abrazos for supporting me in this cleanse. This cleanse is quite expensive and I thank you so much for your monetary support. Most of all, I thank you for your emotional and mental support.)
• Free of illness and allergies.

These are just a few things that I have in mind and I am looking forward to letting you in on this journey. If you support me and have wonderful things to say, please comment. If you have negative thoughts, please wait until my cleanse is over and then we can discuss. I would like to stay "negative energy free".

Til next time,

Monique
