It's Only Six Days.

For anyone that reads this on a regular basis, you might have the idea that I am kind of a body conscious person. I'm not even skinny, but I am pretty food watching sensitive, I workout like a fiend, and just in general try to keep it all in check. Mainly, so I don't end up like this tragic mess again.

Point being, my aunt and uncle have been participating in the Clean Program, and have had crazy results. My dad bought the book, mom read it in a matter of days, and they started yesterday. Well, I have a little bit left of the book, but we are starting tomorrow. The whole program is three weeks. But most people have to start at one week and then give it a rest. We are heading to St Louis on Tuesday, so we will only last for six days the first time, but I get my wisdom teeth out the day after we get back, and I wanted to at least give it a go before Disney World. So if all goes well, we will at least have one more round after this one before we leave in March.

The book is super easy to read and understand, but its all about how our bodies are virtually toxic with all the crap that we eat these days, and the three week cleanse should be a good relief to that stress. It's pretty simple actually, just quite intense. Simply put. There is a list of things to eat, and a list of things you better not touch with a ten foot pole. And its not just things you normally think are bad. Yes, cheese, yogurt (all dairy) are out. As are all breads and cereals basically. But also no tomatos, grapes, bananas, grapefruit, peppers....its interesting to read the science behind it. No eggplant either! Or coffee.... (eek).

But of the Yes List, you eat a liquid (smoothie or soup) for breakfast, a solid lunch, and then a liquid dinner. There must be 12 hours between dinner and breakfast.

That's pretty much it. I think the hardest parts are going to be actually eating lunch (my first actual meal isn't usually until 7pm) and then not eating after dinner. And the coffee. And no juice packets. And no chocolate. Pretty much just going to suck. I just must chant, its only six days. Its only six days.

And then....First Watch breakfast in St. Louis!!! That part, shall rock.

Addendum: Also helping is knowing that my mother, my father, and Tim are all sharing in the misery....

Missed it by months.

Ok, so I read James Marsden’s “Tomorrow When the War Began” series when I was younger. And by that, I mean I ADORED them to pieces and read them numerous times.

I left Australia less than four months ago. And I just now find out its the #1 movie out there right now?!?!?!?!

BOOOOOOOOO.

I know my ABC's.

Recently, I have seen a lot of books that I want to read. Some are books that I might not actually have the guts to purchase, but at least get from the library....ok, totally not true, I haven't been to a library in at least a decade, but its the thought of trying not to waste money, right? I'll probably get a few in my upcoming birthday and Christmas. Yes, Christmas is still 4 months away, but I am currently in the middle of a 600pager, and its taking FOREVER. Mainly because its Big Brother season, and I am consumed by its trashiness :)

But here's what I am desiring to fill my mind with. Some I am proud to admit to, others, a titch bit of shame shortly follows....


World War Z: Max Brooks. An Oral History of Zombies? SIGN ME UP!

The Lost Symbol: Dan Brown. I got sucked into the craze. Plus, I WILL find that FreeMason treasure. I will.

In the President's Secret Service: Ronald Kessler. I just tend to find these kind of stories super interesting.

Banksy book: Wall and Piece. This guy is insanely awesome. His work is sweet.

And the shameful....
Evernight: Claudia Gray (Vampires)
Girls Next Door coffeetable book (Blondes with boobs)
Why We Suck: Denis Leary (He is the reason my dorm banned the roof)
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell "extended": Tucker Max (I cried laughing at the first)
Bro Code: NPH (probably just to flip through)
Vampire Academy: Richelle Mead (More vampires)
Host: Stephanie Meyer (Let's see if she can write more than vampires...)
