Day 2 (ish)

I think I need a wine rack... rofl! That... is genious. There is a "beer belly" too. Rediculous. Actually, I think if I had a glass of wine (Michelle...) I would probably be drunk within the first sip or two. This is "officially" day 2 of my Master Cleanse, but I'm counting it as day 3 because, well, in true Jennifer Berger style - I already created a spreadsheet at home that inquires daily about (1) how I am feeling, (2) my energy level, and (3) weight lost - all by the day... starting Monday. So I can't change it! It sits lovingly on my toilet tank so that when I wake up and tredge my way to my evil dreaded scale, (who has adopted a maniacle screaching laugh, btw) every morning, I can adorn it with those three tantalizing items of interest. So, you see, I am really on day 3. Ha. And how am I feeling? Thanks for asking. I feel fine. Like nothing has changed. I'm not really hungry. My breath is kinda funky, but it's to be expected from a syrup, lemon, cayenne pepper combo, right? Helloooooooo daaaaarliiinnngggg. (that's when you fall over from my breath...) Exo has actually given me kudos for staying strong this time. Last time I was doing a 3 day cleanse "with him", I caved the first day, and went to lunch with Nelda and the gang at work!

On a different note... lala laalalalaaaaaaaaa! Ahem... I am on book 3 of the Twilight series right now. I listen to it on audio book during my trips in the car, and when I've got a mindless task that I can't screw up at work! I was engeneering just such a task today, so I switched on a little Edward/Jacob/Bella drama. Ahh... :) So, if anyone has read this already, you'll know what I mean when I say, I was just after the "tent scene" (space heater... haha) when Victoria is coming for Bella. Very, very tense part of the book... danger surrounding her... passion in the air... she's coming through the forest... and..... then.... MY FREAKING IPOD DIED!!!!!! OMG! Seriously?! I can't get a break today. I'm pretty sure my ipod and my bathroom scale are in cahoots! Well, I'll just have to listen to it in the morning on my way to work. Drat! :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Wet Wednesday! Cheers, ya'll. :)

The Master MASTER Cleanse... again...

The trouble with the world is not that people know too little, but that they know so many things that ain't so.-- Mark Twain

OK... Day 1... again.

I have officially beaten my record held from yesterday! Yay! I feel much more motivated today, with the support of my friend Michelle. She has braved this storm before, and the force is stronge with her! I have learned that whether you think you can, or you think you can't... you are right! And I can! Cuz I CAN CAN CAN!! (Moulin Rouge, anyone?)

I've also chosen this time to learn how to crochette... looks easy. Ain't easy (yet). I find that the silence helps the gurgles in my stomache enunciate better. We are bonding. I wonder who started this crochetting business? Some old lady sat down one day and said, "Hey kid! Give me a rope! And a stick! I'm gonna try to make a bunch of complicated knots in it and create a SOCK!" I think I'm trying to entertain my future old lady self with the mad-skills I'm acquiring right now! Not that I'll remember them then... I can't even remember stuff now! Exo tells me I need some Ginko Beloba. At least I think he told me that... I can't remember.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Exo is working on getting the Riverside house finished during his "time off" from work. Thano's brother, Yorgo, is helping with the painting, so that's a huge help. He also moved into the Jefferson house! :) If anyone knows of any jobs with benefits (not THOSE kinds of benefits - pervert), Yorgo needs it - the job, that is.

Well, that's all the wisdom (or lack thereof..) I have to share with you today. Praise God for another wonderful day. We are so Blessed.

The Master Cleanse...

I am officially... a weenie. I only made it through breakfast time today before defaulting to THE FOODY! The premise of the MC is to go 10 days on lemon/maple syrup/cayenne pepper water... and "flush" everything out at night via a Salt Water Concoction or Chinese torture Tea (here is the website for inquiring minds... http://themastercleanse.org/). Well, 11.5 hours into the first day... I totally went and bought a salad for lunch! In my defense, Jennifer was supposed to start with me today, and DIDN'T (thanks alot, JEN! lol) so it sort of took the wind out of my sails. I'm going to try again tomorrow. I just can't believe my will lasted for such a short amount of time! Gaahhh!
Why am I doing this, you might ask (and I am too, so I will now answer us BOTH)? Well, I have been soooo tired lately. And I have had no motivation to get out and go anywhere or exercise. I have heard good things about this giving people more energy, and helping kick-start a good diet program, so I figured, HEY! I'd like some energy! And Hey! I'd like to fit into SOMETHING in my closet! Sounds like a plan! It's just not as easy as I thought it would be...
Well, I'll take any support you'd like to send my way! Cheers!
