No Shit!

I know I know, what an abrasively harsh title right?  But it's true, like I said yesterday - I'm not full of shit!  So here we are on day 3 of this 5 day cleanse and nothing's happening... quite the opposite actually.  I'm normally quite regular and the last couple of days its been minimal if anything at all.  That can't be good can it?  I suppose on the bright side, I wasn't feeling bloated or weighed down either.  Well today started out just like the other 2, with the exception that I had it in my mind that today I was going to eat - and oh boy did I eat! Seriously, if you think about it... if you're not putting anything in, than nothing's going to come out, right?  Right!  Thus the theory that I just wasn't and am not full of do do.  I mean I was putting a LOT of fiber into my body, you'd think SOMETHING would be just a rollin' out of me.  I'm talking about 40+ grams of fiber a day!  To my knowledge women over 30 should be ge...

Cleansing ~ Day 2

Still going strong and doing better than I thought I would... of course I've also been keeping myself busy so I haven't exactly had time to think about food.  There was however at one point where I did indulge in some beef jerky - what?  How do you pass up jerky?  To me, it's better than cake!

I'm just not full of shit!!  hahahaha  I know this is going to get a tad TMI, so walk away now if ya can't handle it... With any detox or cleansing program I personally am lead to believe that you'll be spending a lot of time running to the pooper.  Not so... at least not yet, and not for me.  Seriously, I thought I'd be having the poops or at the very least, needing to blow the toilet up more than normal.  Turns out it's quite the opposite... I'm a rather ...

A Cleansing We Will Go...

You've all heard about detoxing, colon cleansing, etc. right?  There are tons of different methods and cleansing kits out there, once upon a time I even tried Colon Blow - the name was just so funny I couldn't NOT try it!  Well anyway, the other night I decided last minute I was going to try the Young Living 5 day Nutritive Cleanse .  Now if you know me even just a little, I like LOVE to eat!  Food is my crack, I just love the way it tastes all yummy in my mouth, Mmmmm.  I've been in a diet rut lately and figured this would be good to get things jump started again... and of course I choose to start on a weekend where we have a Super Moon AND Cinco de Mayo all at one time!  Seriously what was I thinking? Why should we do a cleanse?  To rid our bodies of all that compacted waste in our colon and bowels, not to mention to clean out any toxins that may be lurking.  Our colon's primary function is to absorb nutrients and water into our bodies and h...
