I skipped a day.....

...well not really. Sorry to inform you all, but I am a quitter. I thought I was strong, I thought I could "muscle through" the "headaches". Yeah headaches is in quotes, because i thought they were gonna be puny ones like I occasionally get. No fucking way! This was the headache to end all headaches. Bogus! I decided that if it was gonna be like that for 10 days then I could not do it. So now I have over a dozen lemons, a packet of cayenne pepper, a bag of pysllium husk, a huge thing of Sea Salt, a box of "Smooth Move" laxitive tea, and a bottle of Wheat Grass tablets. The last 2 I'm hoping to be able to return (unopened). I'm gonna keep the Pysllium, I've read some about it and it works as a appetite supressent of sorts while aiding in digestion, so along with a "healthy" diet and some more exercise I'm gonna try and do this the almost old fashioned way.

I was ashamed of myself for the 1st 24 hours of quitting, but maybe that was just my throbbing noggin talking ~ney~ screaming at me for being a bit of an idiot in the 1st place and thinking that spicy lemonade drink was going to be my cure-all.

So if you still want to keep up with my jouney, albeit it will be a far less entertaining one, feel free.

I'm aleady feeling better about what I have been consuming. Maybe I was just in a rut and a bit depressed, because it was April and there was still 2 feet of snow on the ground and there was no where for me to go.

So until the next time~

Day One

Day One
Sunday, April 19, 2007
7am start



1pm

Juiced about 12 lemons
measured out 7 oz of syrup
mixed together and added 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
added filtered H20 to fill a 1ltr bottle and mixed again.

This is what I have been drinking all day. I actually don't mind the taste, but you read the title of this post; DAY ONE!
I also have to remember to drink mucha agua during these 10days. Gotta make sure it leaves my body.
I feel a little groggy, but that could be because I didn't get to sleep until 1am and woke up at 6:30...that could be it.
I'm supposed to sip on this all day, especially when I get hunger pangs, so far so good. But this is going to be hard. I heart food, all kinds. They tell you that you need to tell the people you live with that they need to find another place to eat for the next 2 weeks...that's bullshit. But lucky for Sten I have to stay at the Inn until Saturday so he can keep all of the food he wants in our fridge.
My bike ride from the Inn to the laundromat, was funny. I thought, maybe the bike ride will take my mind off food, uh nope, it just reminded me of all the restaurants I haven't been to in a while and that Whole Grocer is right next to the laundromat...fabulous. Although this is a great testament to my will power; the laundromat has 2 fully crap loaded vending machines...and right now just the thought of having a Twix in one hand and a bag of Gardetto's in the other, makes me get up and get a paper towel, because I just drooled all over the desk.

how my journey will start

After a few weeks of feeling like shit after eating, I decided that I needed a change and it needed to happen right then and there.

I had lost about 20lbs between Nov 08 and Jan 09, don't know what I did, it just happened. But I'm back up 10lbs to 179ish, and I'm sick of hovering around 2 hundo, even if people tell me I "hide it well". I miss being a svelte 125 ;) I know I'm never getting back to that weight unless I do something even more drastic than what, after some extensive research on the net, lead me to do.

THE MASTER CLEANSE or Lemonade Diet as some like to call it; http://themastercleanse.org/
seemed like a pretty easy thing to do, and claims the results are "amazing". Well, I want "amazing" results! Which means I will have to be the opposite of who I've been lately; the will powerless veg who eats when she's bored and does very little exercise.
Now, for any of you who know me, and are actually reading this, know that I do- well did- exercise. I skated all winter, but on some days all that required was a push across the ice from one of my stronger students.

Like I said before, lately I have been feeling, well, just plain crappy.

I'm hoping that this combo of organic lemon juice, Grade B Maple syrup, cayenne pepper and filtered water will help me get rid of that feeling, plus maybe I'll drop a pants size...who knows.

They tell you to keep a log of your days, I'm aiming for 10 days on this with a exit-out of 3 more days.

I thought this might be a good way to keep track of my progress, whilst getting words of encouragement and or negative vibes from friends.

So here goes nothin.....
