Cleanse Report: Day 6!!!! (Only 4 more days!!!!)

Currently: Cuddling up to chunk of steak.....sick of liquids...want solids....It IS steak in this pic too - my kidney didn't fall out or anything!!
Current Tongue conditions: seems to maybe be clearing up a little?
Currently wearing: NOTHING!!! WOOHOOO!!!! (just joking!!)
Current Height: 5'2 (again - I guess I took my measurements wrong...booh!!!!)
Current weight: finally checked - I am currently 108 pounds. I WAS around 116 before I started...It's ALL coming back on though I'm sure

So today is ok so far. I had to get up super early for church and sang there. I downed 2 peppermint tea's, a water and a half and the lemon drink, and man I'm sick of only having 3 liquid options. Ah well, I'll be done pretty soon. I've come so far...I can't give up....
although - if I could only eat 1 soda cracker. I would be SOOO happy.
It's crazy what comes out of you on this thing....that's all I'll say. No more.
haha - if you noticed - I FORGOT to do a blog for yesterday so - I'm doing two today b/c I remember what yesterday was like...that's why I'm wearing the same outfit.
Oh - you know what's funny - when you are on the cleanse and you get tired, it's like your body just doesn't want to do anything - it just wants to sleep, it's like the game the Sims? When you don't let them sleep and then they start waving their hands in the air and showing you the zzzzzzz's ? It just reminds me of that.
that's all.
See y'all later.

Cleanse Report: Day 5

Currently Feeling: HUNGRY!!! (especially for salt!!!)
Current Tongue conditions: kind of the same
Currently wearing: nothing to write home about
Current height: 5'9!!!!
Current weight: I'm checking FOR REAL today!!!
Well, today is good b/c I'm now officially HALF done!! Woohoo!! So - I only have 5 days left now. I'm feeling alright - Brent made these steak/onion/pepper wraps - and cooked the steak and onions in beer and the smell almost drove me mental. He went to have a shower and left the food simmering on the stove and I found myself bent over it just breathing in the smell. The crazy thing is that I don't eat red meat at all, I don't even like it. I just want that food. I won't though.
I was at the video store today too, and weirdly enough - REALLY wanted DORITOS. I don't even eat those. SOOO weird.
Anyhow - other than that I'm doing well. I am hoping it is doing something - and can't imagine that it isn't.
I'm out.

Cleanse Report: Day 4

Currently feeling: Bitchy. Seriously grumpy.
Current tongue conditions: Man - feeling PRETTY disgusting today
Currently wearing: THIS ol' Thing??
Current Height: STILL 5'2
Current Weight: you'll never know!! Yeah - you will - as of tomorrow - when I check.

Ok - so today is definetly the hardest day for me! I can't BELIEVE how grumpy I was all day. I hurt my wrist just overusing it and stuff - and today it is SOOO painful and I can't take an advil, and my stomach hurts from the cyst stuff - advil would be nice today - but I'm hoping it all hurts b/c it's getting beat on by my body!!! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!! GO BODY!!!!
I'm heading out to hear a friend sing tonight - and that should be great. Hmm....what should I have there - .....how about some MINT TEA!! Agh....I try to get excited about it - it just doesn't happen!
Ummm...Brian and I finished writing the radio song yesterday - it still doesn't have a title, but we record vocals on monday and tuesday - and hopefully then.....IT WILL BE DONE!!!! Only to start soon on a full length that will be WAYYY longer - but I'm already up to 7 songs, and after today - I think 8!! So - I really only need to write like 1 more song or maybe 2 if I want and we're ready to go! Woohoo!
Ok - well, that's all for today. no funny stories today. just bitchy ones. Haha - EXCEPT this morning Kai was being bad and I told him that he was not listening and was going to get in trouble if he wasn't good, and he said "Settle down mom, you're FREAKING me out"
I didn't even know he knew that stuff!! Haha. Anyhow - it made me laugh and forget what he was doing in the first place...but it didn't take him long to remind me.

Cleanse Report: Day 3

Currently Feeling: Quite Tired
Current tongue conditions: still gross - and actually a little sore. I wish I could chew gum while on this thing!!!
Currently wearing: my pajamas (old t-shirt and yoga pants)
Current Height: 5'2 and a little (This cleanse is making me grow!!!!) (one can hope)
Current Weight: I WILL check today!! I really want to know!!

Well, considering how tired I am (and I'm weirdly enough not tired from the cleanse - just for being stupid and staying up till 3 last night. woops - probably not the best when you are on detox, I still feel really good. Hunger pains are less and less, and the drink always takes care of them when they are there. I snuck another spoonful of maple syrup. Well, not really, I just licked the spoon! haha. Man - food is a crazy thing. I'm definetly going to be more careful after this, I feel like I was so sluggish from food and my head was so unclear. It is nice to not feel that way. I always eat food just cause it's there, not b/c I need it, so it's nice to break that chain of thinking. Huh. crazy.
Ok -so crazy story!! Yesterday I was at Shoppers Drug mart and I saw this guy in his car and he was shaking crazy and out of control and he was foaming at the mouth! So I freaked out and felt that nervous scared feeling and tried kind of looking in his window and was about to call 911 or was wondering if I should, and I realized that he was brushing his teeth!! in the car!!! he was shaking b/c he was JUST GIVIN'ER with the toothbrush, and when I saw his face for a minute, he had toothpaste coming out of his mouth!!
I felt dumb, I was standing there staring at him, and he drove away without spitting it all out, probably because he felt dumb that I was standing there looking at him. Crazy.
Ok - well, I'm off. I have a big day today. Well, not really, but I've got some stuff and I have to get my wrist worked over by my man massuesse.
See y'all!

Cleanse Report: Day 2

Currently feeling: Weirdly enough - a little tired - but - STILL quite optomistic
Current tongue conditions: grossness going strong!
Currently wearing: my mj anne couture shirt and some brown pants
Current height: STILL 5'2!!!
Current Weight: Forgot to check!!

Well, It's 6:40 on day two (pm) and I actually feel really good still. I felt like gold this morning, probably b/c I always forget to have breakfast and I'm not used to having a calorie intake in the morning...mental note: eat breakfast after fast. I found myself sneak a teaspoon of the organic maple syrup I use to make this drink. I guess i needed the sugar. Although - I normally would NEVER eat it by itself. Haha. Weird!
The cayenne pepper in the drink adds a lot of kick, that's for sure. Kind of cool , kind of weird. I am growing self conscious of the fact that I am carrying around an 8 glass container everywhere with me and people are starting to think I have an intense iced tea addiction.
I feel a little tired. Nothing too big, just a little bit like having a nap. Unfortunelty for me, I can't have a nap, I have rehearsal for worship at the meeting place and the AFTER THAT I have to meet the client who while I shooting their photos, I cut my leg open and a gust of wind blew my skirt over my head. Do you think maybe he forgot? Oh man. I'm such a loser.
I notice that my stomach hurts a little today - not hungry hurt, but like where my cysts are hurt. I'm hoping they are doing something good down there. haha.
Man - I just recently heard a friend of our's music - his name is Jeremy Remple, and wow - his stuff is fantastic! It's been my fast music. Well, not fast music, but MY FASTING music.
Anyhow - I'm off to rehearsal.!
Take it easy all you eating people!
that was weird...
sorry.

Cleanse Report - Day 1

Currently feeling: Optomistic
Current tongue condition: A nice film of grey grossness
Current Height: 5'2
Current Weight: None of your beeswax (dont really know either)
So - I'm hungry. Yet - NOT starving. So - that's good. The cayenne pepper is a little intense now, after having the intire day to fester and become intensely hot.
I'm allowed to (as a snack) have mint tea. Lucky me. Hopefully I start liking mint tea. I am definetly one of those people that likes tea with lots of cream and sugar....so we'll see what happens.
Ok....so - I'm all good for now. And proud that I haven't eaten anything (I snagged a cookie at midnight last night haha) I haven't eaten thing in 15 hours. That's pretty good. Hooray - hopefully I will start having really clear thoughts that aren't foggy from flour, sugar and other such things.
I'll check in tomorrow....

To Cleanse or not to Cleanse

Ok. So - I decided I would journal this cleanse thing out. Ok....So, first I need to justify why I am going on some crazy cleanse in the first place....
1. I am sick of random cysts growing inside me and no one knowing what we should do about them. I want to take a chance that maybe it can be gotten rid of naturally. Ok - "gotten rid of naturally" that would have been horrible in my grade 12 english class....in any english class for that matter. Oh well.
2. I need a fresh start. I am a dramatic person. I need something dramatic to actually make a change in my life. I want it to be a really spiritual experience and beat my weird food issues.
3. I feel dizzy and weird often and I think it is b/c I eat bad things like white flour, and white sugar. Haha - not by themselves. Although I'm sure that would explain the dizziness.
I started this morning. So far, so good. Although I've only been doing it for like 5 hours. The drink I like. It's water, fresh lemon juice, organic maple syrup and cayenne pepper. I like the pepper in it. It's definetly like spicey lemonade. Kind of good.
Hmmm....so - at this point, I'm going to do it for at least 6 days, hopefully 10. I'll see, and I'm only answering to myself, so if I NEED to eat, then I will. But I'm hoping I can discipline myself to do this right.
My friend Nat is doing it with me. She's about 3 days ahead of me or so. Good for her!
Hmmm...well, that's it for now. Nothing too exciting happening yet. Although I'm excited about the possibility of haveing a less cloudy head. that would be great.
ok - maybe I'm putting too much hope on this. Well, I need to, or else why would I do this?
haha
ok - bye.
Could I say ok anymore times!??
