Day 6 on my detox diet and I feel... GREAT!!!!!!!!!! I got so much done today. It was amazing. I was looking for stuff to do because I had so much energy. Remember that lady in 'There's Something About Mary'? The one that was picking up couches to vacuum? That was me, minus the speed, or whatever it was that she had taken. LOL LOL It's simply amazing how light I feel, so much energy. Good times. I was thinking about the horrible, wretched raw carrot soup. Having some guilt actually. Had I reall… Continue

Well, here we are on Day 5 of the Kill Me Now Detox Diet. OK, it really hasn't been THAT bad but imagine this: the kids are playing 'movie theater' eating popcorn and watching Happy Feet and I am over here with my TINY apple and TINY kiwi wishing I could be chowing down on that buttery heaven sent albeit microwave popcorn with them.

I've been fighting a headache for two weeks. It stemmed from this cold I had about 3 weeks ago.

So I rushed right home and jumped on the treadmill. I'm doing the Couch to 5K so it was Week 1 Day 3. I got through it pretty well, minus all the parts where I thought might die. But other than that it was groovy. After the program was over I decided to stay on the treadmill and see how far I could go, just to tortu… Continue

Day 2 on the detox diet went pretty well. Except for that pesky gas. Hmmmm. Must figure out a plan for THAT one. Anyway, it called for the Detox Lentil Soup for lunch. Oooohhhh, yes, the organic red lentils make their debut in my kitchen!!! After I stood for 45 minutes picking God-knows-what out of them (they were from the bulk bin remember and if anyone needs to know where they are located I'm your gal!), I finally dumped them in the pot with the leeks (leeks????) and a variety of other terrib… Continue
