OK, so I'm actually going to do that 'Master Cleanse' again starting Jan 2nd to detox from this mad holiday season stuffing and embalming that I've been doing and start the New Year on a new leaf with a much slimmer waistline and a cleaner temple. After the last cleanse, I was allergy symptoms free for a few weeks and not dependent on my stoopid meds that I usually have to take every day but I've started (yesterday) sneezing again and had watery itchy eyes and itchy throat so had to break down and take my nasal spray and zyrtec pill this morning to hold me over till I start my next cleanse. I'm going to shoot for doing this cleanse for 2 weeks and see how I feel and if I've murdered everyone around me by that point (of course, here's hoping that I won't but you never know what these floating toxins possess one to do). You're supposed to do it for a minimum of 10 days and go for up to 60 days but I can't do it for too long because once I get u...

Feeling good, have been really since Friday. Still having nothing but the Master Cleanse lemonaid concoction and water all day and feeling great on energy as well. Though yesterday Lu made me (ok, he asked but I would have been the big meanie if I said no) cook him a few meals and only dinner was tough to smell and look at and not have a plate of my own. Oh and Saturday night kinda sorta sucked. Went with Lu and some friends to the bowling alley for his birthday (he doesn't celebrate his b'day really but I at least got him to go out) and there was drinking and chomping down on burgers and hot great smelling fries going on and all I could do was sip my water bottle and pretend like it ain't no thang. It kinda was a thang. I wanted to just sneak a fry or two since they were right under my nose and smelled so good. Oh, and it's not as much fun to be around drunkies when you're stone cold sober. Man am I gonna be a cheap date after this cleanse or what?? I'll be e...

So I woke up today feeling like an addict coming off of the crack. Damn it was ugly. Vomiting bile, the chills, shaky, paler than death and w/a headache that was crushing my willpower. Thought I'd try to sleep a bit more and then go to work but that wasn't happening so I called in, wrapped myself back in blanket, watched Lu's face of concern as his girlfriend looked back at him w/death written all over her face. heh. That was actually kinda amusing. I had to convince him to go to work and leave me be to detox from caffeine, toxins, etc.. in my system that were purging out. Slept it off a bit and did my morning Salt Water Flush which is nasty as all hell. Feels like someone's pushing my head below the ocean and I'm choking on the salt water. Horrible. But, useful.... Once I was all flushed out, I was feeling great! Cleaned the house, took a long soak in jacuzzi tub w/all the candles lit around me, ahhhh, that's indulgence. Had my several lemon/maple/cayenne mixtu...

Ok, so after a long weekend of eating all and anything that has crossed my path (including this great soft pecan pie that just slid over my taste buds and into my tummy like insane indulgence.... Mm....) I have decided to do a ' Master Cleanse '. I am on half day 1. I say 'half day 1' because I just started it this afternoon after my spinning class (wanted one last intense adrenaline rush of spinning before the fast since I can't go hardcore while on this cleanse) and moseyed on over to Whole Foods to get my lemons, Grade B maple syrup and cayenne pepper, and the Master Cleanse book for my concoctions. Got back to the office (still on my endorphin high from spinning) and made my first cup o' cleansing juice. I made it a bit too spicey, as my ears are burning with the heat from the 'pinch' of cayenne that I put in. Hmm, note to self to decrease amount of pepper in concoction. I feel fine so far though and it's been about an hour and a half since I...
