Master Cleanse Day 3 - DRY DRY DRY

Here I am at day 3. So far I'm not feeling hungry. I'm not having headaches. My energy level is about the same. I am only having 2 detox symptoms so far: dry skin & I am FREEZING. My hands are like alligator skin. I'm also getting a dry patch around my right elbow. This happened to me around the 4th day of eating raw. I continued to have dry hands for almost two months. I hope this phase passes quickly. As for being cold, I am usually cold, but this time, I am having cold fingertips. So cold that when it happens, I need to place my hands under running hot/warm water to warm them up. I guess I will bust out the long underwear until this passes.

I asked my partner to take over making juices, smoothies, grocery shopping, and making meals for the family.  The last couple trips to the supermarket were tempting for me. I kept wanting to eat a banana...or a dried prune...or a watermelon! So tonight I made my last juices and smoothies for the family. She will take over tomorrow. This will be a good test in letting go. I tend to take on too much and then get overwhelmed. This way, I can take care of myself.

Today I went to a kitchen store and bought a Titan julienne peeler. Now I can finally make those spaghetti noodles out of carrots, zucchini, and cucumber...or at least I can after the fast :P It also came with a vegetable peeler. I can't wait to play with these.

After seeing the video below, I had to RUN out to get that juilenne peeler. Who knew something like this existed? I also ran out and bought the ingredients for my partner to make this for herself. I know she will LOVE it!

Cucumber Noodles with Tomato, Basil, Capers. Yummy!

I'm starting to collect quite a few gadgets since I became a raw foodist. I think I'll make a page with everything I use.
