UPDATE


Hey,

So I never updated you with the Master Cleanse...I made it 4.5 days. Not too bad I guess. I ended up going to the Cabin with my future in-laws and forgot my syrup and it all when down hill from there....No good excuses though. I did have fun up there though! Went SNOWMOBILING for the 1st time and that was awesome, other than I got stuck in the powder like 6 times and MIKE had to dig me out again and again. HAHA Anyways that was awesome!

Last week I got my WISDOM TEETH out. OUCH! That was horrible! I was in bed for like 4 days straight and I couldn't eat anything solid for 5 days. It's been 8 days since the surgery and I'm doing much much better! I'm still a little bruised and swollen, however, I'm almost 100%! That's good! Below is a picture from Day 3 after surgery...YUCK!

School keeps me busy, and I'm desperately looking for a job! Wedding plans are getting on her way and it's getting SUPER EXCITING! I love my Daniel!

Thats all for now!

DAY 4 of the MASTER CLEANSE

I'm already to DAY 4! That's nice! Just sucks to realize that I still have 6 more days...not even half way yet...whatever I can do it!!!

Recap of DAY 3
Day 3 has been the worst yet. I was anticipating this though. I felt HUNGRY ALL DAY! Food and Hunger consumed my mind. I don't remember one thing we talked about in class yesterday because I couldn't focus at all. All I wanted was to order some PIZZA, some CHICKEN WINGS, and COOKIES! haha I'm just glad I'm almost over the hump!

DAY 4
Today I woke up feeling GREAT! I wasn't hungry, not tired....just good! Today I don't have a lot going on other than homework and relaxing! Hopefully this feeling continues the rest of the day...we'll see!


I haven't really shared my goals for this activity yet, so here goes...
  • Lose @ least 10 lbs to help towards my LGN Diet goal which is 150-155lbs!
  • Prove to myself that I can go all 10 days! Many don't believe that I'll make it all the way. I want to prove to myself that I have the discipline to not eat the food around me...After this is all over... I hope this will hopefully give me the power to say NO to food that's in front of me when I'm not hungry.
  • To Cleanse my body/colon from all the GUNK that is inside me. They say you hold up to 5 lbs of nasties in your body that hinders your digestive system from effectively digesting your food and causes weight gain and a slower metabolism. I'm going to give my body every chance it deserves to reach my goal before the Wedding!
  • They also say that without all the GUNK and sugar sitting in your system, you won't crave all the JUNK FOOD that you normally do. That will be sweet!
  • To do something that seems impossible and be an example to others!
Wedding Bells are right around the corner...no messing around anymore!!
GET FIT!

DAY 3 of the MASTER CLEANSE

Hey All...
actually I don't really think anyone reads these, but they are more for my benefit anyway...get my thoughts out and a record of what I'm doing so I don't lose focus or motivation. Plus 6 months from now it will be interesting to go back and read through these! :)

Recap of DAY 2:
hmmm, so overall the Salt Water Flush SUCKED yesterday...Could hardly make it to the bathroom and it lasted for like 2.5 hours!! YIKES! The rest of the day went alright, got hungry a few different times, but those were only when I smelled food and it reminded me of all I'm missing out on! I have to say I'm pretty impressed with my ability to resist. Last night Grandma made Spaghetti, with homemade sauce, and garlic bread...talk about torture! But I stayed in the bedroom and got through it better than I thought! In the morning I was really weak and tired and that lasted for most of the day...mostly because my blood-suger was down and I needed to drink more of the juice...I did and started feeling better!

DAY 3
Today I woke up with a terrible sore throat...it's slowing fading however. The Salt Water Flush was HORRIBLE. My stomach is shrinking and so it can hardly hold 32 oz of water in at a time let alone nasty salt water...I felt like throwing up all morning...but luckily I didn't...I'm about to head to class now...we'll see how the rest of the day goes...Pray for Me! hahaha

Oh yeah...forgot to mention...between Tuesday @ NOON and Wednesday at 6:30pm.....I started at 167lbs on Tuesday and last night (Wed) I was 163!!

I LOST 4 POUNDS! Believe it!

That's something worth continuing for! :) See ya'll later!

DAY 2 of the MASTER CLEANSE

So the rest of DAY 1 went alright. I never really got hungry and if I ever did I just took a couple of sips of the lemonade and that did the trick! It's a relief that the first day is over...

DAY 2:
So today I woke up a 9:30am, took the salt water, made the lemonade and then spent the rest of the morning resting and on the JOHN. ;)

Today I feel weak...I don't feel hungry one little bit and so I haven't had any of the Lemonade yet...I don't think that's good...I think I need to just shove it down even if I'm not hungry cuz I don't think it's health not to take all the juice...I'll try to catch up today, but I got a lot of catch up to do...I'm already 32 oz behind and that's A LOT when you think of all the BURNING!!

arg...anyway, overall, still going strong...feeling tired and weak, but I'm looking forward to DAY 5 where I will hopefully have a BUNCH of ENERGY! YAY!

In Over My Head....

The name of the game is
MASTER CLEANSE!!!

So Daniel and I have decided to do the Master Cleanse...if you don't know what it is, I highly recommend looking into it on you tube or anywhere on google.

The Master Cleanse is basically a 10 day fast/diet that consists of a 32 oz SALT WATER FLUSH every morning, 64 oz of a Lemonade drink (that has maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and Cayenne pepper), a laxative tea at bedtime and then of course water throughout the day.

Easier said than done I think...I am 2 HOURS into the 1st DAY of my Cleanse and I have already pooped 3 times. The Sea Salt Water wasn't actually as bad as I had anticipated, however, the lemonade drink BURNS MY THROAT. Not only does it burn, but it is not settling in my stomach very well...feels like terrible acid reflex or heart burn or something...TERRIBLE.

Anyway, I have to go to class...We'll see how the rest of the day goes...........

Everything Falling into Place!


YAY! This past weekend I thought I had picked out the perfect wedding dress for me! In fact, I almost bought it 3 times in the past 2 days... anyway, So my sister-in-law KaCee told me about this dressing shop in Provo where she got her dress and she recommended me checking it out before I make my decision. She loved the place and told me that she thought I would really like it too! Leslie my future mother-in-law even said

"I really think she's (me) is going to love it there...
I can feel it in my bones!" :)

Sure enough, we got in there and found THE PERFECT DRESS for me! I'm so excited! It is from their new line that comes in in February! Not only will I be able to wear it in the temple, but it's cheaper than any other dress I've liked and the most beautiful BY FAR! I'm so extremely excited! I have KaCee to thank for this wonderful idea! THANKS!
