tying my shoes...

one thing i hate is tying my shoes. okay, hate is a four-letter word, and i shouldn't use it. but after you tie your shoes once, shouldn't they stay tied? i don't like having to bend down and tie them again especially after they are all dirty and i've stepped on the laces in the rain, snow or mud. couldn't someone invent some type of velcro related material that works for shoes that have to have laces.

i know this must happen to others and i couldn't believe that no one had came up with a solution to this problem. but then i found them.

yankz. i got them at the running store, and after using them for a few days, i found what seems to be a very promising product. they are awesome and specifically made for running races. the lovely thing is that they are tight enough to keep your sneakers on your feet, but at the same time allow you to slide them off without having to reach down and untie every time. sweet.

i bought mine in reflector color so you could see them when i run in the dark.

today was not a good day, i really didn't feel like exercising at all. i ran on the treadmill for 45 minutes and just did a couple of weights.

for breakfast i had goetta (3 pieces) made from steel cut oats
for lunch i had a club sandwich at paradise bakery and half of an oriental salad with no chicken and light dressing
for dinner i made risotto (1/2 cup), chicken romano (4 ounces), and lemon broccoli (1 head) with garlic
1 orange
i drank 110 ounces today

I'm doing a cleanse....

"Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet" by Dr. John R. Christopher

Supreme cleanliness is the first step toward a healthy body. Any accumulation or retention of morbid matter or waste of any kind within us will retard our progress towards recovery. The natural eliminative channels are the lungs, the pores of the skin, the kidneys, and the bowels.

The retention of body waste has an insidious effect on our health than is generally suspected, and its elimination is one of the first steps toward perceptible progress.

To begin the three day cleansing program, the individual is required to undergo three days of detoxification therapy, then proceed with the mucusless diet:

First thing in the morning upon arising, drink 16 ounces or more of prune juice (unsweetened, if possible). The prune juice is not primarily to empty the bowels, which it will do, but rather to draw into the intestines from every part of the body such toxic matter or body waste as may be there, and eliminate it through the bowels.

After beginning with the sixteen ounces of prune juice, within one half hour take an eight ounce glass of undiluted apple juice. Swish each mouthful thoroughly (called chewing). Then, 30 minutes later drink a glass of plain water (preferably distilled), followed 30 minutes later with more apple juice.

The general procedure is: 16 oz. of prune juice first thing in the morning, then, 8 oz. of apple juice 30 minutes later, and 8 oz. of distilled water after that; repeating the juice and distilled water each 30 minutes throughout the day. One gallon of apple juice is consumed each day for an average size adult, or one ounce per pound of body weight. (This of course is an approximate and suggested dosage, as age, ability to hold liquids, etc., determine the capacity for each specific case.)

Breaking up the mucus during the juice cleanse generally causes constipation throughout the three days. Use more prune juice if needed.

Repeat this detoxification for 3 consecutive days. Thus, approximately three gallons of mucus and catarrh will have been eliminated and will have been replaced by three gallons of juice. This has resulted in speeding up the re-alkalinizing of the system.

During the three-day cleanse, take one or two tablespoons of olive oil three times a day, to aid in lubricating bile and liver ducts, etc.

On the fourth and subsequent days, we begin taking vegetable and fruit juices, along with raw fruits and vegetables. Then follow the mucusless diet as close as possible.
Do not be concerned if you feel weak during or after this detoxification. Our bodies are using the energies for internal housecleaning, soon an increase of energy will occur as a result of a cleaner healthier body.

Supplies that you Need:
54 ounces of Prune Juice
9 ounces of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
3 gallons of Apple Juice
3 gallons of Distilled Water

Natural Hair Bristle Brush or Loofah sponge (for dry brushing)

Garlic Oil for the Ears (soak cotton & sleep with in ears)
Epsom Salt for bath & Chickweed (for detox baths)
Vegetables (of the season) for Juicing, or buy Organic juices from the health food store.
Castor Oil, Shea butter or Olive oil for lubricating your skin after baths.
