Brisket

Well, I was supposed to drink my laxative tea tonight, but I may not have to thanks to my mother in laws brisket.  Wow.  Ok, I'll end it at that.  

Here we go

Ok.
I got all I need to start the cleanse tomorrow.  They actually have a jug of everything that is needed to go into the drink.  Nice since I don't have a juicer.
I have had a buffalo chicken burrito today followed by a cupcake!  My last hurrah.  
I will drink a drink tonight with water and uniodized sea salt.  I have to drink this every day as well.  I guess it helps to clean you out.  Yuck.  I also have to drink a laxative type tea daily.  Yay.  So, I guess I'm just gonna shit my brains out for two weeks!?!

I'll let you know tomorrow how it goes.

Considering a detox cleanse

I started this blog because I am on a weight loss and body cleansing journey.  I am sure I will venture into many other territories though as I travel upstream, without a paddle.   I've shed a few pounds over the past 2 weeks, but I have a long ways to go.  And I don't mean just physically.  This is going to be a mind and body make over.  For the sake of myself and my family. (man, this is when I could really use an emoticon)

I am considering doing The Master Cleanse.  Yeah, you lose weight on it, but I also want to cleanse my system.  I've been doing some research on it and reading peoples blogs.  It has it's pros and cons.
The cleanse is made up of lemon, cayenne pepper, maple syrup (b grade), a salt water flush and tea that makes you "go."  You drink all of this for 10 days as the cleanse.  You eat nothing and poop everything.  It sounds lovely.  I'm going to research some more tonight and read a bunch of peoples blogs that I've printed up.  If I decide to do the cleanse, it will be within a few days.  
I will update this blog daily to help myself be accountable and to remind myself of why I may never want to do a cleanse again.  :o)  Ok, I'll add in the good stuff too.  
I'm scared I may be tired and weak.  I don't want to feel like that with the girls running around.  I am also scared it will effect my anxiety meds and that would not be good for anyone within a ten mile radius of me.

I'm off to read and possibly even talk myself out of it.  We'll see.  I don't think I ever fully out grew my add so I'm sure I'll have a hard time sticking to it.  Although the last time I really put my mind to something, I did it.  That was one year ago when I gave natural birth to my daughter, Ava.  I can't wait to do it again.  (now you see why I need my meds) :p
