Detox Upate

JUST IN CASE ANYONE ever reads my blog........I am NOT going to update EACH day on this Detox thing.  So far it has been mild - drinking a lot of water - eating fiber; and it has been very gentle on the system.  Is it working???......I'll let you know at the end of the program UNLESS something weird happens.

My Heart Throbs

I just had to post my two most favorite pictures......the first was taken of Will and Jonathan at age 4 and 1.........the second was our Christmas present this year.....at age 25 and 21.  My heart just swells when I look at either of these pictures.

Detox - Day 1

1. Morning - I started this morning (after drinking one cup of coffee - can I do that?) by taking 2 capsules of something - and then I had to drink a powder dissolved in 8 oz of water and then drink another 8 oz of water.  The instructions say to drink a lot of water throughout the day (this will challenge me) and eat plenty of fiber (trip to grocery store!).  So far so good - but right now - I am already water logged.....

2. Afternoon - I haven't had any "gurgglings" - feel normal.  Went grocery shopping and got a lot of fruit, fiber, beans, fish, etc.  

3. Evening - all is well.....been drinking lots of water and peeing all the time.  Good soup for dinner.  Took 2 different capsules of something an hour after dinner and drank more of the powder.  Feeling really water logged.

post note:  had to get up 2 times to use the bathroom (pee) from all the water.   So far I feel normal.

Detox - ????

Okay - I've heard over and over about "Detox"!  CAN be a disgusting topic - cleansing your system (ALL systems) - getting more energy, starting off a weight loss regime, helping your allergies, etc etc.  Soooooo......I decided (through Bill's moral support) to give this ole "Detox" a try and see what the results are.

Today I went to the Health Food store and spoke with a health food person and they helped me pick out "Total Body Rapid Cleanse" by Renew Life.  It is a 3 part - 7 day program.  I am going to document what I am going through for seven days.....and the resulting factor.  I think it is about time we ALL know what all the fuss is about "DETOX".

  

God Grew Tired of Us

Last night Bill and I watched a documentary (from Netflix) called "God Grew Tired of Us".  It was about the Lost Boys of Sudan.  It touched our hearts so much......I wasn't aware that this was happening.  I asked Bill, "What do we do with this information now?"  One answer - be aware.....be aware of our brother/sister walking next to us.  It doesn't matter their ethnicity or culture.....we, as Christians, need to show compassion, understanding, caring......just say hello.   

Catch up - no pics

Ok - I know people like to look at pictures - I know I do...but I have just been lazy.  Here are my thoughts:

1. My hair is finally getting longer - I love it.  Will never go short again.  So weird because I LOVE short hair - but I guess as I get older and with less hair - it's not the same.

2. I am looking for a part-time job so we can get a car.  Harder to find a fun part time job than a full time job.  I just applied to be a front person with LA Fitness.  We'll see.  That would be fun.  I want fun.

3.  The OU game is on tonight - Yeah!  But - I just can't cheer for OU (sorry Lauren) - so I am cheering for THE BIG TWELVE (which OU is representing - which should have been UT representing.  Again, sorry Lauren)

4.  All this fighting in the gaza - makes me so sad.   How do I even pray about that?

5. Tomorrow I am having lunch with my neighbor ladies, later in the month is wine night with the ladies.  I love my neighbor ladies. :)

6.  I miss my boys in Missouri.

7. Jonathan will be living with us this summer while he does his internship in Dallas.  Now THAT makes me happy. :)

8.  I just found out that Bill doesn't like the word "funky" - which is one of my favorite words that I use all the time - because I am all about the FUNK!    Anyway - I got myself a new pair of "f....y" glasses!  Yeah!  :)

Two Handsome Men

Having lunch the day before Christmas with Will and Jonathan and Bill.

Can it get much better than this?
