Master Cleanse Day 3...only?

So today is day 3. It was a tuffy. I was fine all day, even when Erin ate her yummy smelling food in our shared work space. I am not craving anything really and I am not feeling hungry. Goes to show that all the times I have thought about food in the last 3 days have been purely for emotional reasons. I know you are thinking "no, you thought about food because your body needs it!" But-ter I really don't feel that that is it. My brain is fully functioning, and I don't feel tired, I have very few minor pangs of hunger throughout the day - a brief few minutes in the morning before I get some juice into me. I was a little emotional saute´d tonight just because I couldn't sit at the table with the kids and Danny and savour some family time, oh and eat the realllllly good smelling food he made. It was, after all, my favourite chicken with green beans and potatoes. Yum. Dinner is a time when families get together at the end of a day of being apart. We rarely eat anyw...

Master Cleanse day 2 - straining out the seeds with my teeth

Lemons seeds, I just hate those slippery little suckers. I can't get them out of my juice! So I just use my teeth to strain the juice through eliminating the potential for the seed to enter my mouth. I am doing well, better than I thought, I think? I made some juice today and it was much better, I think putting more lemon in makes it tastier. Organic lemons are yummier too. I think everyone at work thinks I'm nuts though, because I was making my juice in the work kitchen and explaining to people why I was putting maple syrup in my water bottle...? The response is weird because it's usually not really a response at all. I say "I'm doing the master cleanse" and they just look at me. My brain feels pretty good but my teeth feel fuzzy as hell! It's like there is a slime on them or something? I would rather have fuzzy teeth than a fuzzy head though. I moves my desk to another spot and all the moving of things causes me to feel a little dizzy. Going to keep the...

Master cleanse day 1.

Day 1 of Master Cleanse. Side note: It's not really congruent with my journey to wee-dom and I want to change the name of this blog. More on that later (another day). Disclaimer: Most of this may or may not make any sense. Thank you for fumbling through it and don't let this taint your opinion of my other blogs, notes or any other written input. I love to write and I love to share so I hope this one doesn't change your enjoyment for the things I have written in the past. I know some of you are thinking "that's stupid" and that's ok. I need a break and here's why. The breakdown: The reason I say this is not congruent with my journey to wee-dom is that I'm not doing the cleanse for weight loss. My main reason is to gain perspective on food. I feel like I eat when I am anything . In other words - if I am sad, I am anxious, I am angry, board, mad, disappointed...happy etc. Today, I think I thought about food 10 different times before I started to becom...
