Sunday June 11, 2006
0330 - Wake up and go to the bathroom, go back to sleep
0500 - After an hour of
tossing & turning I decide to go to Redners (a grocery store)
to do some shopping - look at the Perogies & Nathan's hot dogs and,
and, and.....
0600 - Decide to drink my salt solution so I want have any "problems" in church.
0645 - Went back to bed to catch a few winks.
0900 - Woke up and drank my
lemonade. I feel pretty good, but have noticed a pattern of
feeling great in the morning - horrible in the evening.
0945 - Leave for church
1200 - return from church to
make yummy homemade whole wheat pancakes for the birthday boy who is
3!. They were tempting....what if I take a couple of bites and
spit it out! That idea grossed out my daughter.
1300 - Froze the extra pancakes for after the cleanse. My food cravings werent as bad and I did great through church.
1330 - Made a devil's food cake
for the BD boy - resisted the temptation to lick my fingres. I think I
will take nap even though I am not tired, just habit I guess.
1700 - I used chick & pork
hot dogs for supper (I know they are very bad for you, but I love the
beef hot dogs). They didnt tempt me. I had asked hubby to
pick up some chips and he got my favorite - Herrs Sour Cream &
Onion - out of habit. I smelled them, but I didnt eat them.
1745 - BD boy opens his gifts.
1755 - Left for Sunday school (our church has it in the evenings and I teach elementary grades)
1920 - returned from church and
cut BD boys chocolate cake - I really wanted a piece (chocolate is my
favorite ....BTW motherearth, I didnt make it from scratch, it was
boxed). I really wanted a piece but wasnt going crazy like the
night before.
1935 - I decided to do a
liver/gall bladder cleanse, while I am at this Master cleanse, so I
drank a concoction of 3/4 cup of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and
1 TBSP of Epsom salt.
1940 - Shared the rest of the
chocolate cake with the neighbors' children (and mother). so I
wouldnt have any more temptation in the house. I did wrape a
piece in a bag and put in the freezer - note to self...I need to pick
up some more freezer bags.
2035 - Drank another cup of the
grapefruit concoction (with epsom salt) so I could go to bed on
time. I need more grapefruit so I went to the store where they
had them on sale. The sign said .99, so I got three (they had
been 1.99 a couple of days ago). When I went to the register,
they rang up at 1.50. I told the cashier what the sign said, they
double checked and I got them for .99 ( I think they then corrected the
sign). Question: Is it cheating to add a little water to
the juice to make it 3/4 of a cup? That way I dont have to
squeeze another grapefruit.
2235 - While bad memories of
taking castor oil to induce labor while pregnant flashed through my
head, I managed to drink the next grapefruit concoction - this time 3/4
c. of grapefruit with a 1/2 cup of olive oil. I took Bekah's
advice and held my noice while I chugged it, except for a slight
aftertast which I rinsed out, it worked quite well! After a
couple of trips to the bathroom, I went to bed. Note to
self: Start a personal Bible Study on Gluttony.
To be continued in Part 3.
