Wild Rose Meal Plan

by tacogirl 03/09/2008
written by tacogirl 03/09/2008
San Pedro Belize beach pictures

Up at my usual 7am – got an iced water as my morning drink today and all of a sudden Paul is at my desk doing the usual handing me my iced coffee forgetting that I am on my cleanse and so no milk and sugar.

8:40 am I am already somewhat caving in. I was not planning to do any coffee at all but the meal plan does give the ok on 2 black cups of coffee and Rick had offered us to share his Caye Coffee so Paul is making a pot right now and going to chill some for me. I guess I better take my supplements now and go eat something. Anything to get my mind off left over pizza in the fridge ha ha.

For breakfast I ended up eating 1/2 cup of pecans. I had a headache so decided to go back to bed for a bit.

Got up and got chili started for Paul and Rick and made myself lunch – curry vegetable stir fry with onions, red and yellow pepper, zucchini, and garlic.

Headache is back so I will drink more water and have another lay down.

Lunch did not last long and I am already hungry going to snack on some air popped popcorn, olives and cucumber slices – that is as close to chips as I get for 12 days ha ha.

Crock pot chili is done, Paul is cooking brown rice, I will make some snapper fillets and veggies for my dinner.

Had been sleeping for about 1/2 h when we both got woken up by huge thunder claps in the sky. It poured down rain for a while not sure how long as we both drifted off again after closing the windows.

Before I you see the meal plan, here is a bit about Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox cleanse that explains why I am doing it, aside from the obvious of wanting to be healthy. Now that I am working on the outside it is a good idea to tune up the inside as well.

Internal cleansing is considered to be the cornerstone of good health by many natural health care practitioners. Pollutants from the environment – found in the air, water and foods that we eat – as well as wastes produced from normal bodily processes, can tend to accumulate within the body and lead to a state of congestion. To help maintain a healthy balance of assimilation and elimination, the Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox Program is uniquely designed to enhance all aspects of metabolism.

The cleanse comes with 3 different supplements and one tonic – 2 tablets and 30 drops in water to be taken at the beginning of breakfast and supper. Tablets last 12 days tonic lasts longer.

I was looking for what I could bring to the B-day party that is on your list of food you are now eating.

Being the Southern girl that I am I could cook up a mess of mustard greens but not sure where to get them on the island. I can good collards greens too.

does anyone know where to get them? or would anyone eat them if I cooked them?

I guess If I don’t get a response I will stick with fruit.

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s... always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and... local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do... what everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more
