Day 13!!

Today and tomorrow - that's it!! Then I have completed my 14-day detox..... mmmm.mmmm, feels good : ) Yesterday I forgot to add that I got to 'add' nuts and seeds back into my diet. Today I get to add starch/bread/cereal/fats. Tomorrow I get to add in the big proteins (meats, fish, egg, dairy).

However, I have decided to not add wheat back into my diet. I am doing this because this is the #1 suspect on the list for altering my skin. I have had 2 facials so far (which are great and seem to assist in getting of the top coats of yuckiness) and will have two more - but it isn't just the facials changing things. So yeah - no wheat for me! We will see if this really helps to clear things up (pretty) permanently or if there is anything else to be eliminated.

I am going to do my best to continue to eat lots of veggies and more fruit like I did during the detox. I actually (now) enjoy 'green' smoothies - aka - smoothies with a lot of lettuce/greens/broccoli/etc. I am also going to limit the amount of dairy I have. I might do small amounts of cheese, but I might stick to the rice milk and coconut milk yogurt for a bit. One, because like them and two, dairy can be hard on our systems anyways. Soy will also be eliminated from my diet, seeing as though there are more and more reports of soy effecting our hormones.

When all is said and done, I hope to have learned new ways to help my body be cleaner, stronger and better at breaking down foods for proper digestion. I hope to do a detox again (probably before we start trying to get pregnant - so - 2, 3 maybe 4 years ; )

Today was another great, PERFECT, awesome wedding day. Today we got to photograph Tracy and Anna. I first met Tracy early in high school - so it was such an honor to photograph their big day. Anna is such a sweet, amazing women of God who is so perfect for Tracy : ) God couldn't of made a better person for each of them : )

Well, I am off to bed.... I am tired, we have lots of pictures to go through tomorrow!!!

Love,
~Karin : )
