Lemonade diet: Day 2

So last night was very interesting. My entire body from the lower back down began to ache unbelievably bad. Whenever I moved, my hamstrings spasm-ed so bad it felt like a permanent charlie horse. I have to say that I half expected this, just did not know how extreme the pain would be. What is happening is, the toxins are leaking out of my bowels and Big muscle groups causing spasms and extreme soreness. Kinda like the lactic acid that is released after working out really hard. It is common to feel this toxic pain and is a sign that the cleanse is starting to take hold. I woke up with a headache and suddenly got a burst of energy even though I woke up around 2 and couldnt go back to sleep until 330am. The whole morning I was dripping sweat as I got ready for church (ewe). Now its about 12:15 and I am due for my third lemonade of the day. I barely got through church with my eyes open. It was great, dont get me wrong, I just am running on a weird energy cycle.

I have read that this painful toxin release only lasts 3 days at the most. Man, I havent felt pain like this since before my knee surgery...or you know when you are like fully preggo and the baby is spreading your hips apart? Its kinda like that pain.


Well, Ill catch you tomorrow. Almost 20% done with this thing.

The Lemonade diet:Day 1

So many of you may have heard of this "master cleanse". I have been trying to get my hubby to do it with me for a long time now, but he was never convinced it was a good idea to drink liquids for 10 days.....until..... The airforce sgt. told him he needed to drop weight asap to be in the same competitive bracket he is in. So he comes up to me yesterday and says..." bebe, what was that cleanse thing you were talking about" ....

I told him its 10 days of drinking water,lemons, grade b maple syrup and cayenne pepper with laxative teas and salt water flushes!


So basically

2 cups of water
half a lemon (freshly squeezed)
2 TableSpoons of GRADE B Maple syrup
1/10th tsp of cayenne pepper

WHAT!?!.....

OK. When can we start?

So last night we had our last supper for a bit. Steak n sweet potato fries with onions and bell peppers.

So here it is... DAY 1


Started our first batch at 830 am.

Its not that bad tasting. The cayenne pepper is a kick in the booty. You have to kinda take gulps of the drink. Chasing it down with a big glass of water is a must!

I have read that this makes you have aches in all shapes n sizes so we will see what manifests itself today.

Ill catch you on day 2 !

Hear ye, Hear ye!

Sunday

Ok, so I have been having a million side effects from my synthroid medicine. I didnt know just how many till I re-read the prescription pamphlet. I am having episodes of a VERY tight chest. Almost like an asthma attack. These freak me out. I definitely feel like Im not getting enough oxygen.

Other side effects off of the pamphlet that i am having:

change in appetite
change in menstrual period
excessive sweating
muscle weakness
wheezing
shortness of breath
chest pain
trouble sleeping


Allergic reactions posted on the thing that I have had:

wheezing
difficulty breathing/tightness in chest



I am really hoping that there is another thyroid med that will work. This one is way harsh! I need to go get checked out either way but have not established a general doctor here yet. Ill call my endo doc tomorrow.

Fun Beach Days!

We headed up to North Shore and went to our favorite beach "PineTrees". It was SO relaxing and perfect! Evan and I even got to go float in the water while my mom and Jackson shoveled sand on shore. Here are some pics from our fun day!

Happy Happy Birthday!

Turning 27 wasnt nearly as hard as I thought. In fact I think the big 28 is the yr that will scare me!!

I was completely blessed by ALL those around me who wished me happy birthday with phone calls, facebook notes and surprise outings!

My sweet husband took me out to our favorite Mexican restaurant. SOOO yummy. I dont know if it was because we havent eaten it in a LONG time or what but those carnitas were bar none the best I have ever had!


It was still a little early to head to the lounge so we stopped off at the beach for some snuggling and just sat and enjoyed this beautiful place we call home.


We then went to a place called "The trees Lounge" to listen to some jazz and local music.

We enjoyed some yummy pupus and some cocktails.


Thanks mom for watching our little bundle so that we could go have romantical moments!

The Breakup interview

Oh my goodness! Wow. There are many who question the validity of the Jake and Vienna interview but while I think that these two are totally profiting from the break up, there is actual validity to the emotions shown.

Jake is a total jerk. There is NO wonder that he is single at his age. I knew his cocky pilot attitude would bring everything down. He totally is a fame whore as Vienna put it. He reminds me soo much of someone I know. As soon as he sat down he had a pompous egotistical attitude. The way he kept yelling at her to stop interrupting him was insane. I cant imagine being with someone like that! WOW! He portrayed himself completely different on this interview. This guy needs to stay away from relationships forever! He wants a woman to wipe his rear end for the rest of his life and be his emotional punching bag. As soon as Vienna sat down he says ..." I hate you, You disgust me..." HELLLLLLLO???? Emotional abuse!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOw I KNOW there is more than one side to this thing but just the way that Jake was acting was a total giveaway to the problems and I think Chris (the host) was very surprised about just how nasty Jake could be. Bottom line, Vienna is a spoiled brat and Jake is a complete and total A hole who is not willing to compromise on anything in his life.

Maybe Ali will hook up with Jake since she doesn't even winde up with anyone on the Bachelorette! They totally deserve each other I think.

Bare Booty Baby!

So our little guy is walking better every day and we caught this last night right before we went up to bed. We let him go nakey (nervously) and he just was running around like crazy! Sooo Funny!

Bachelorette Week 5: Does this Arctic Outfit make me look Fat?

    They start by writing poems to Ali. EHYUCK! But I thought the guys were pretty good sports about it. I bet Kasey is at the lead of the pack since he writes love songs every five minutes lol. I cant believe that they are judging these things for a date. Silly!

    poor Ali. This wardrobe week is NOT in her favor. Those HUGE jackets and fluffy things DONT make her look very nice!

   Kasey started his poem and Chris L starts making fun of his voice. It was HILARIOUS! I LOVE Chris! His poem was by far the one that was the most practiced and by that I mean...he writes stuff like this ALOT! WEIRD! He needs to go. This is just making him look like a crazy and no girl will touch him with a 10 foot poll after this.

  Who is this guy...Chris N??!? He pops up out of nowhere....pretty bad.

  Frank pretty much kicked everyones booty as far as poetry and funniness. Im pretty sure that the poems that made Ali LAUGH were the ones that won!


   anyways, Kirk wins! He is a good guy. They get along great. Supposedly he has this BIG secret past. Turns out that his secrets are that he almost died from Mold exposure! WHAT! Why was he sooo guarded about that. I thought he had a kid or dated a celebrity. Maybe he just wanted to play it so that he didnt get the sympathy vote. Welllll....ya did! I think he feels like a failure, coming from such an "accomplished" background and getting sooo sick. I know because I can relate.

  So two guys were put into the 2 on 1 date. Justin and Kasey. I think Kasey will kill himself if he is sent home. I havent seen a guy this delusional for a looooong! He builds up those fantasies like no other! Oye! Justin on the other hand is such a jerk. All he cares about is "competition" and lets face it. At this point thats ALL he has to focus on because Ali has STOPPED trying with him..

. side note.

   Dont you think that in this season, there is a TON more focus put on just a select group instead of everyone? Theres a lot more people that I have had NO idea who they are this season. I guess Jake had a generally SHALLOW technique that dabbled a LITTLE bit on every girl. Oh, by the way...Jake and vienna broke up! Like Yesterday! lol....YAY for shallowness! BTW, being married to a pilot, there is NO way that Vienna could have handled it. Its hard keeping your man physically on the ground let alone mentally!


   So they get out on the icy plains and ride these little Iceland ponies! Poor Chris and his horsey. The saddle starts falling off and he whines like crazy! Ty comes up and saves the day.

" I think Ty was born on a horse....He's galloping around like hes gonna save the world on this thing"....Chris L.

Definitely some angst but mostly playful jabber i think........



Justin gets his cast off and gets a boot put on so that he can walk. He said something that was a HUGE NO no....

   " Thats one small step for Justin and one HUGE leap for Rated R"

Shouldnt you be Justin if you are here as yourself. he's totally the jerk that has two girlfriends that he has convinced to stay with him while he placates them. WHAT IDIOTS girls can be sometimes!

  BTW if Ali uses the word "amazing" ONE MORE TIME!!!!! Ahhh.

 Of course they have to have a strip down scene to temp these guys just a little more. These poor guys. They must be Sooooo sexually frustrated. There I said it.


  Frank has pretty much submarined himself on this date. He stood back and pouted while other guys went with the flow. He is confirming my original feelings about him. He is wayyyy to moody. He cannot date more than one girl at a time. He's the type where he thinks he found fate after one date and focuses on it for month and months but not in a way that is as stalkerish as Kasey.

  OK ok...I get the swim suit scene... NEXT!


Ty got the " I am capable rose" of the night!


  So Kasey and Justin go on this date and Kasey says something that, even though he is carzy, he is right about. He says that justin is here to promote himself and all this other stuff that is totally true! While this guy is wayyy to into the cheesy side of romance, he at least can recognize and analyze a situation accurately.

  Kasey is given the boot and left alone on this glacier while Justin and Ali ride of in a helicopter... OUCH!



   more in a bit...
