MC – Day 5 Halfway there

January 16, 2009 Written by Lisa

Happy Fri-dee!

Well, I have made it much farther than I thought I would on this so getting to 10 days should be easy. I don’t know if there will be any more “healing” issues in this one but who can say. Whatever comes, comes. I feel good and at peace. Still waiting to see if the psychic/woo-woo stuff gets any clearer. Not sure yet. Food usually grounds me so hanging out in the ether, I thought, would heighten things. So far, no difference that I can tell.

Thank you all, Cousin ‘O Flair,OneGal, Jody, Becky, Ami and Marianne for all your support and comments. It’s really helped me get through this. I told Duty that it feels like someone completely different stepped into my body for this time because I have no cravings, no feelings of deprivation (which I usually do on diets), no “just this one thing won’t hurt” whining … I almost don’t know myself! (But in a good way!)

Have a great day!

MC Day 4 – Hanging in there

January 15, 2009 Written by Lisa

Surprisingly, to me most of all, I am doing really well on this here detox thingy. Today is day 4 and I feel pretty good! No headaches, no butt aches, no cravings, no nothing.

Yesterday was definitely a learning day, though. Long story short, some client came in, ate a bunch of candy that I have sitting by my reception area and then cavalierly threw the wrappers back into the candy bowl. WTF? That’s rude. And since I was already in a small state of agitation, this tossed me over the edge. Good thing I don’t keep weapons (of mass destruction) in my desk or this guy would have been long gone. Isn’t it weird how sometimes the slightest things just really rile you up? Anyway, as I was sitting there, pissed, my first thought was “What can I eat?” and it became crystal clear to me how I have used eating to stuff down my anger. Of course, I knew this intellectually but seeing it in action, right in the moment, was eye opening for sure.
I went and had another ‘lemonade’ and silently thanked this client for showing me that connection. (Still, GRRR! Who does stuff like that??)

Let’s see what lessons today brings, eh?

And now, the requisite LOL cat pic to brighten your day – don’t ask – this just cracked me up.

MC Day 3 – Steady as she goes

January 14, 2009 Written by Lisa

Yep, I am still alive, down 6 lbs so far (YEY!) and doing pretty well. A tiny headache this morning and a pain in my butt (no, not Duty) but otherwise, I am fine. There was some yummy veggie soup cooking on the stove when I got home from work last night and it was nice (and enough!) just to sniff it. I am actually really amazed at my discipline. Just goes to show ya. (What, I don’t know but there you are.)

In other news:
* Cookie was on Jimmy Kimmel last night so I am watching the YouTube videos and getting my good morning wake up call! LOL
* Didja all catch bush’s “last” press conference? Man. That. was. embarrassing. For all concerned, mind you. It will be nice to once again have someone in the position who can think and speak coherently.
* I don’t like snow or cold weather. That is all.

Have a good day!

Master Cleanse Day 1 – not too bad

January 12, 2009 Written by Lisa

I was up at 4:44am (who knows why) so decided to get on the salt water flush and whatnot. I like salty things so this wasn’t hellish to me but perhaps by day 5, I may say otherwise. The nicest thing about the morning was I had lots of time to putz around and even did a nice, if brief, meditation.

I had no difficulty getting down the cocktail of maple syrup, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. (MMM, right??) And had some herbal tea in between as well as some water. No cravings or anything … so a pretty easy day 1, I think. I’m sure my body is just plotting all kinds of good surprises for me on days 2,3 and more.

Right now, I’m tired and have a bit of a sinus sort of headache (I haven’t had one of those in at least 10 years so that’s probably a symptom of some detox stuff moving on out.) I might go cuddle up with Sophia and take a nap or something. But not before I finish drink #5. (6 is the minimum you have to have for nutritional needs.)

Takes 10 big ass sips and realizes she’s STILL not done. (sobs quietly)

On to day 2.

Countdown to the MC

January 11, 2009 Written by Lisa

So, here I sit, Sunday evening at 10:55pm. Drank my little “Get Moving” tea and am heading for bed. Tomorrow starts Day 1 of the cleanse. Lucky you! You get to experience it without having to do it. What could be more fun, hey?

Wish me luck!
