Last Night's Date

The Master Cleanse

The Master Cleanse! Let’s get started!

Tonight, I begin The Master Cleanse recommended by a new friend in the entertainment industry (Casey). I need to lose 10lbs in less than 10 days for the photoshoot! Let's see if I can do it!

I weighed myself this afternoon and according to the scale, I'm at 122lbs. Gross. I squeezed all my lemons and mixed it with the maple syrup grade B and sprinkled cayenne pepper into water as directed. I just finished my tea laxative and about to go to bed. I've been having migrains for four days straight and thanks to my mom coining me last night, today was ok (Thank God and mom!). I'm excited to see how this works!

Day 1 Monday

I woke up and didn't have any cramps like the other dieters I've read about.  I wonder if I'm doing something wrong?  I had another cup of tea while watching the news with my dad about the fires that occured last night.  After finishing my tea, I decided to have a cup of the lemon stuff.  It's a bit spicey for my liking but not bad nonetheless.  :)  I feel full...like a food coma without food.  I think I've over stuffed myself with liquid.  hahaha...   I am about to get ready for bed and wanted to update day 1.  It seems that every time I feel hungry, I just need a couple swigs of my juice and it's all gravy, baby.  I have more energy than usual...BUT, when I was out of my juice...my tummy started to grumble.  :(  So I drank the tea and am now rushing to bed so I can stop thinking about the hunger.  Since I was on the phone, I wasn't able to make more juice for tomorrow.  Oh well.  I'll make it in the AM.  Note to self:  Wake up earlier to get the 'tea' part out of the way and make more juice.  Today, I had 8 servings prepared.  The directions to the cleanse says to have 6-12.

Day 2 Tuesday

I woke up later than usual and had my cup of tea and made my juice (I made an extra 4 servings just in case).  I noticed I was a bit more hot tempered than normal today...I'm not sure if it's caused by the diet or if it was just a pet peeve that got set off.  Overall, it took me about 15-30 minutes to get over it.  Yes, I timed it.  I was a bit rushed through my day today because I woke up late but again, I had more energy than usual.  I must say that there were more visits to the ladies room and heavier cramping midday.  I ended up drinking less than the first day and had my cup of tea.  I stayed up on the phone...again.

Day 3 Wednesday

I got up early, surprisingly at 8:30 but I just laid in bed cuz I was so snug.  :)  Had my cup of tea at about 11:30 and still have 4 servings left over from yesterday, so I'll make 4 more today.  :)  YAY!  I don't have to squeeze as many lemons!  ;P  I was hungry today...well...my tummy was not but my mouth misses eating.  I smelled every food I was around today.  I felt like hiding but I chose to embrace the aroma of each food and thought about how yummy it would be when I could eat it one day...AFTER this cleanse.  Maybe.  But then I started imagining myself eating it and that kind of helped the hunger, so I'm ok.  It's hard trying to stay positive about food under this cleanse.  My energy is still up and my teacher tells me I have this energy like electricity charging through me.  hee hee hee...

Day 4 Thursday

Ok I'm not taking the tea today cuz I woke up WAY too late and it's gonna kill me in class.  I'm hungry but I'm pretty over eating...I guess I've gotten used to not eating the feeling is best described as, "eating?  eh."  (I hope I'm not saying this too soon!)  Well...I better go make my lemonade and head out of the house before I lose anymore daylight!  I only drank half the amount I normally drink and am feeling ok...I miss eating...a lot.  I'm ok but I have this wedding I'm attending on Saturday and want to eat...according to the directions on how to ease off of the diet, I still won't make it in time to eat at the wedding.  :(  ::sigh:: What's a girl to do?  I'm going to get my tea right now and if there is orange juice in the fridge, I'll get off this cleanse.  If there is not...I'm gonna stay on it.  If not to lose weight, then for my health.  :) 

...we had orange juice.  Until next time...

I went to dinner with some old friends tonight (I've known a couple of them since 1st grade) and a few things stood out in conversation.

• Relationship Rules
• Spiritual World
• My issue with the word/feeling of LOVE

Relationship Rules

For some, it is okay to date more than one person at a time and kiss and what not more than one person at a time.  I understand this well.  BUT.  When I date people and kiss one (and there is chemistry on my end), it's difficult for me to date anyone else but that one person.  If the other person dates others, I'd prefer to know (but not really WANT to know).  Why?  According to my friend, I have a 'relationship rule'.  I don't believe this to be true.  I feel it is my own preference, not necessarily a rule.  If I were to kiss a person, it does not necessarily mean I like the guy, but if there is chemistry on his end and not mine, I'd still date others and not have a problem with it.  I feel that the only rule is to not have rules in dating.  Each person brings out a different side to us and we need to be able to be open and free of rules to fully embrace what is there in front of us.  We need to allow life to surprise us with it's various wonderful blessings. 

Spiritual World

My friend's girl is a medium and although she is sweet and accepting of her talents and somewhat comforting in a weird way, I don't want to see.  I don't want to think about it.  I don't want to explore it.  I don't want to see.  I don't want to hear.  I don't want to acknowledge.  God is my strength and in Him I place my Faith and trust that He will continue to shield me from the spiritual world. 

LOVE

Kapooey!!!  *vomit.   

I've been having strange feelings all day today.  First, throughout the day, I keep thinking the bathroom door is gonna slam into my head/face leaving me unconscience and then second, I hallucinated while driving and then almost ran into the metal divider between the exit and the regular traffic. 

GET A GRIP, LIL!
