The Master Cleanse Day 1

After talking to Jeff we decided to do a 10 day cleanse. Today is day 1.... and it has been hard. Its been hard not to cook food and its been really hard to watch TV. Everything you watch has food in it. I am not 100% sure how I am going to do this tomorrow at work but I am going to do it. Next Thursday is our last day then we will go back to real food.

If I lose 10lbs I will be happy but I will be even happier if this cleanse helps Jeff to not eat everything he sees. He doesn't like the lemonaid but I think it was because of the syrup in the lemonaide. So we took one table spoon out so that it wouldn't be so sweet and he seems to like that better.

Another hard thing for me is the bowl movements.... for me it is painful but I think I have been sick for awhile. Every time I eat it hurts and then I am in pain for the rest of the night. Well my movements feel something like that. I knew it would but I am hoping that after a few days it will go away. That maybe pushing some of the food that is clogging me up out of my body that I wont be in pain anymore. Jeff on the other hand assures me that his poops have been just wonderful :)

Making the most out of Utah

Okay its no surpise that Jeff and I really don't like living in Utah. The people here are kinda rude (and by kinda I mean really rude) but I am determined not to let that ruin our lives lol Part of my goal with that is taking advantage of the many temples in the valley while we are here. Tonight is our first date night to the temple and I am very excited :)

Jeff agreed to do the lemon cleanse with me! YAY! So we are starting on Sunday and going to see how it goes from there.

Love you all! We will let you know how it goes :)

DrEAm CaR!!!!

JEFF AND I WENT ON A DATE TO FIND MY DREAM CAR :)

It wasn't quite as exciting as it sounds but it was still pretty awesome. We went to a Hickley dealer ship to look at the hatch backs/ cross overs and see which make and model I liked best. We figured it would be a cheap date... turned out to be a great success.

My dream car.... (drum roll please) ..... A DoDge JoURnEy!!!! Loved it! great family car, drove like a dream, plenty of space, and it was burnt orange :) not that the color really makes a huge difference but it was pretty attractive. And the best part was the price.... for the low sum of $24,000 that little beauty could be ours! lol We will be accepting donations till we can afford the car so please feel free to add to our cause.

The Master Cleanse

So... It has come to my attention that our little family needs to change some of it's eating habits. I have noticed we spend a lot of money on foods that are terrible for us and don't fill us very well. Amazingly there is an addiction to bad foods... surprise surprise right? I figure the best way to kick a habit is cold turkey and then you have to flush the poison out of your body.

The answer to all of this mischief is to do a cleanse. With quite a bit of study and reading, not to mention the advice of an old friend I have decided that 'The Master Cleanse' might be the best solution. We wont be doing it for long, 2 weeks or 14 days. What ever sounds shortest for Jeff. He doesn't seem as excited about it as I am but he is really supportive.

If it works we might even get Jeff's dad to do it too. He is trying to eat healthier as well. Wish us the best of luck and we will let you know about the progress.
