My Master Cleanse Experience

I decided to to do the Master Cleanse for a number of reasons. First and foremost I gained a lot of weight recently. While most people seem to think I look fabulous with the extra pounds it is something that has really been bothering me for some time now. Additionally I found that my eating habits had taken a turn for the worst and I would just eat any and everything just for the sake of eating, not necessarily because I was hungry.

After doing a considerable amount of research I decided I would do the cleanse in July 2010. needless to say procrastination being the beast that it is I never started. Several times after that I set dates to start and just made excuses. Whether it was the wrong time for me to do it because of work or because I wanted to go to some random party. While all of this is going on I think I gained more weight and of course the numbers on the carnival countdown went from lots of months to two months. I never actually weighed my self but I could always feel myself and know that I was heavy.

Day One

The cleanse has something called the ease in which is supposed to prepare you for not eating solid food for 10 to 14 days. Again procrastination and lack of procrastination I did not do the ease in. Additionally on the morning I was due to start the cleanse I still did not have all of the items that I needed. However something happened when I got up that morning, I just felt determined to start. So I started I did not eat anything all day and sipped fresh squeezed orange juice. I did well all day until my friend who I was supposed to be doing the cleanse with suggested we have gyros for dinner and start the cleanse fresh the next day.

Day 2/New Day One

I woke up again determined to do the cleanse. I mixed the concoction of lemon juice (more like lime juice), cayenne pepper and organic maple syrup. The instant I drank it I knew I was in trouble. It occurred to me that I hate maple syrup. I don't know what I was thinking. Two things I don't like are maypole syrup and cinnamon. Anyways I opted to shot the concoction so that I would not taste the maple syrup. Then during the day I tried the salt water flush. Lord have mercy. I drank a litre of salt water. My belly is strange if I consume something that is not good my belly says what the hell is this shit get out and it comes right back up.

After that experience I started to think about why I was doing this thing. To lose weight obviously. Weight loss is something that I have achieved before and quite easily at that. So I cut out a lot of things from my diet. Things like the massive cup of coffee I drank every morning and the KFC I ate regularly. I lessen my portions and in general I ate less. I opted to have a salad or a soup for lunch and I never went hungry. Before I knew it, I was fitting into clothes that were previously too tight and people were telling me I lost weight. One person even told me I looking dry. I have no idea exactly how much weight I lost I estimate about fifteen pounds twenty at the most. Might I add that this is with very minimal exercise.

So if I keep this up and add some exercise I will have that hot smoking carnival body by next year. Slow and steady wins the race.

Have you ever done anything extreme to lose weight? What was your experience? Did it work?

Much Ado About Nothing

It'd been so long since I posted something on this blog of mine. I guess it was a combination of work, carnival and laziness. So many things have happened and not happened at the same time. I am still single, this I am proud of I am not complaining. But I know now why I am single. It's because I can't bend over and put my head between my legs or randomly drop into a split. I can read though so I am holding out for the guy who would like me because I can read.

I still love my job. This is the first time that I am in a job and I am not looking for jobs daily. The one wish I have is that I get a pay raise. If I get fired I would be in deep shit. Because this is also the first time that I don't have some hussle going on the side.

I am still not pleased with the way the country is being run. But running a country is hard work so who am I to complain. Additionally, unlike the PNM the People's Partnership is new to this thing so they need to time to settle in and work out the kinks. Also while the PNM Members are fighting amongst themselves the government could take the opportunity to get away with maximum amount of shit.

I felt Iwer George should have won soca monarch only because the garbage he sang moved me more that the garbage that everyone else sang. And while we are on that what's up with advantage. I really didn't like that song. Illegal was the song I loved but after playing mas for more than twenty years what the hell do I know about a road march.

Anyways I am making a try at this blogging thing a little more consistently. Thank you always for the support.
