okay, so i am going to do this master cleanse thing again. why, you ask? because i felt soooo good while i was doing it. it felt good to not be bloated, gassy, and just miserable. oh, and losing 11 pounds in six days wasn't so bad either. anyway, i drank some smooth move at 6:00. meredith suggested i get the chocolate kind; she loves it. it's a little after 9:00 now and i've made some lemonade (enough for three glasses). i would have made a gallon but i seem to have misplaced my container. *sigh*
anyway, i'll get another one. until tomorrow's entry...nighty, night!

Raw Week-Day 2
so i made it to day 2 of raw week. yay! last night was rough. all i wanted was something warm. that's all. just a little something to get me through the night. *sigh*
anyway, check out how my day is going so far...
breakfast: "green" smoothie (fresh squeezed orange juice, banana, granny smith apple, and kale) yum!
oh, and i have a[nother] colonic scheduled for 12:15 pm today. i can't wait. (*don't judge*)
update...
elimination #1-7 (again, don't judge)
i don't know if i'll ever be able to function in life without some colon hydrotherapy. this session was awesome. although it was pretty uneventful when i was on the table, once i was left alone to, uh, "do me," it was on...elminations rule! lol
if you've never had a colonic, i now swear by them and i think everyone should do it. i plan to do one every month now. i just feel better after a session. and that's what it's about, feeling better! :)

Raw Week-Day 1
so, i've decided to join the sistergarten and go "raw" for a week. i mean, i did the master cleanse for six days, this should be a breee, right? hmph! we'll see. these entries won't be as detailed but i'll try my best to get it all in. or, out for that matter. *he,he*
breakfast:"green" smoothie (banana, mango, and kale), granny smith apple, and almonds
lunch: salad (spinach, cabbage, green/red/yellow peppers, broccoli, pico de gallo, and homemade balsamic vinegarette)
afternoon snack: granny smith apple and craisins
dinner: smoothie (strawberries, banana, granny smith, and spinach), carrots, and a granny smith apple
i'm not a big fan of strawberries unless they're whole with no extras. so, it took me some time to get the smoothie down.
elimination #1
o-m-g!

Day 6-Friday, March 27, 2009
okay, it's been sooo long since i've updated this thing. *shame*
anyway let me catch you up on what day six was like and the new ventures...
before i get to day six, let's talk about day five. for some strange reason, i wasn't as prepared as i should have been. at work, i was down to about 32 ounces of lemonade and needed more maple syrup in order to make a new batch. since it was so rainy, i decided that it would be easier to walk to creative health instead of publix. me and tina get to creative health and guess what they don't sell? you guess it, maple syrup. so, we head up the general store because, of course, they sell everything. now, they did sell maple syrup but only grade a. no grade b in sight. so, i was like "that's okay, i can stop by the store after work and all will be well." or so i thought. not only was i on a tight schedule, i had to run home, shower/change clothes, and load up the care because i had a party to do. for those who don't know, "i do those parties!" (visit me here)
anyway, i was unable to get to the store so i figured regular spring water would hold me over. talk about resisting temptation, there were so many tasty treats at the party (no pun). but, i stuck with it and didn't eat a thing. Yay me!
so, fast forward to about 10:45. that's when i left the party. (it started at 7:00)
i get home and because this was the first party in a loooong time, i immediately put my orders in. needless to say, i was up until 2:00 am. when my alarm clock went off, something was wrong. i didn't feel like myself. i was shaking internally and i knew exactly why. i hadn't drank even a forth of what i was supposed to the day before. my body was shutting down. so, i showered and attempted to get ready for work. but the shakes were scaring me. i immediately went downstairs to grab that banana that i had been eyeing all week. and i did something that i said i wasn't going to do. i ate it. it was so good. at some point i called selena or selena called me. either way, i told her what happened and that i felt dizzy and would be in late...i needed to day down for a few. so, i did what a great employess does. i called my boss, left a message that i would be in late and went back to sleep. i ended up coming in at 10:45 am. those extra hours really helped.
so i say all that to day, i made it from sunday to thursday on the master cleanse. i do plan to do it again, i'm just not sure when.
stay tuned for all my other crazy detox/cleanse/diets adventures.
oh, i forgot to add my eliminations: 9:00 am (elimination #1) and 11:00 am (elmination #2)

Day 5-Thursday, March 26, 2009
today sucks. maybe it's the rain but my energy level is low and i am hungrier than i've been so far. but, i shant give up. i am seepin' my tea now and sippin' lemonade. i didn't drink any tea last night. yesterday was my one time to "fall off." today will be better. i went to bi-lo this morning before work to stock up and they didn't have grade b maple syrup. ugh. i'll walk down to the health store later. i'm just sooo tired!
on a happier note, i'm down to 197! ten pounds in five days, hooray!
okay so it's 3:55 and i haven't gone yet. tuh!
oh wait, maybe i spoke too soon!
4:19 pm: elimination #1
i'll be back to explain this one

Day 4-Wednesday, March 25, 2009
to go or not to go, that is the question. and by go, i mean to work. *side eye*
8:10 am: elimination #1
wtf was that? yeah, i can tell that i'm at the "fecal matter/lining of the colon" part of the cleasnse. fun! sorry for not warning you about that last sentence but if you're following me, you should know that's it's only going to get worse from here.
anyway, i was sitting in my truck this morning, about to pull out when i got the feeling. so i sat for a minute and thought, "should i go now or can it wait 'til i get to the office?" so, i went. good thing i did because it took me forever to get here. traffic was a mess. damn those free chik-n-minis (mmm, chicken minis). sorry, i lost focus. anyway, i was pretty busy last night so i didn't get to update yesterday's blog as much. this is kind of how it all went down:
1) went to claudia and john's house. john ate wheat saltines in front of me and i wanted to cry, lol (poor thing, he didn't know)
2) stopped by the bar to let my uncle review the new menus. the food smelled so good and it was all i could do to not snatch a fry. but i was sKrong. i think i'm more aware of bad things now and the grease was turning my stomach. or maybe i was just hungry, lol.
3) got home. drank my smooth move, and made a batch of lemonade. i used my last five lemons and maple syrup so i may stop by whole foods tonight to stock up. i have enough to get me through today. oh, i can't remember if i mentioned this yesterday or not but the lemonade is tastier cold and deeeeeeelish slushy-like! :)
and for the best part of today, i'm down to 199! i tried to stop weighing myself but it didn't work. anyway, i still haven't eaten a thing since saturday and i'm so proud.
5:38 pm: elimination #2
going a little slow today
okay so it's 5:50 and today has been going in slow motion. i didn't drink my tea until almost noon and i haven't drank a lot of my lemonade. anyway, i just woke up from a much needed nap. 'twas lovely. one weird thing about this cleanse is the dreams i now have. oh my! they're so crystal clear and strange. i can't even explain it.
i've also decided that after this cleanse, i start dr. ian's fat smash. i read a very inspiring article today and it got me all excited about being healthy and eating right. i'm thinking this may not be hard at all because, hell, i've already gone almost five days without food so what's so hard about incorporating healthy options. and the best part of all, seven saltine crackers are one of the snack choices...yay!
6:32 pm: elimination #3
no we're gettin' somewhere! not much to say. mostly liquid. (you're welcome)

Day 3-Tuesday, March 24, 2009
whew, what a way to start the morning! i went to bed with a piercing headache last night and figured i should just call it a night and it would be all better by morning. and guess what...it is. i actually woke up when my alarm went off this morning, with all intentions to go back to sleep, of course. but, after the tinkle, i laid in bed for a few minutes looking at my e-mails and then it hit me. the big one. my first elimination was at about 6:10 and it was quite a challenge. in my head i'm thinking "how is it possible that i'm still going?" either way, i am. today is day three and i'm sooo proud of myself.
6:10 am: elimination #1
this was a rough! aside from being sleepy as heck and not wanting the lights on (yes, i was in the dark), i didn't know when this ride would be over. all i was worried about was going back to sleep. no such luck now.
6:40 am: off to get ready for work (and thinking i'd rather have more tea than the swf. whatcha think?)
7:00 am: i said i wasn't going to weigh myself until the end but i just can't help it. i just got out of the shower and hopped on the scale. guess what it read....go 'head, i'll wait.
...201! have i really lost six pounds? apparently. you know what that just confirms? that i'm full of sh*t! hahaha.
off to get dressed and head to the office.
8:20 am: elimination #2
omg! i felt this one coming on before i even got to office. in my head i was contemplating whether to park on the street or truck it from the garage. so many decisions. thankfully i was able to park in the garage and make it to the office. that's about all i did because thirty seconds later i was in the baño. i think at this point i'm eliminating the old waste and toxins because *caution: gross* the texture and color are different. i've read that bile is sort of yellowish. so yeah, definitely toxins!
9:00 am: i just made my tea and lemonade. i should be good for today, and maybe tonight.
11:48 am: elimination #3
so i was reading last night that floaters are good. it's actually fat waste that's being eliminated and fat weighs less so it floats. i hope i got that right. either way, i haven't had a solid elimination since day 1 and no floating until today.
2:27 pm: elimination #4
i feel like something else is trying to make it's way through to no avail. ah well.
2:45 pm: i went walking with tina and selena and 'bout died on the way up. hills are a lot steeper when you have no food in your belly. all i want is a saltine cracker. just one.
