the incredible shrinking woman...

i haven't been airbrushed above like katie. don't believe everything you see, the media can be so manipulative. if they take the time to change her, i wonder about all the important things they subtly change.

but today i have trimmed off 10% of me. yes part of me is gone. it's weird to think about, but true. i've lost 25 lbs. now and i am excited to get to my next goal of under 200 lbs. if i keep on track i will get there sooner than i predicted so that is exciting too.

today i was so busy but i was able to fit in the stairmaster for 45 minutes and then i swam for 30 minutes. i like swimming after because it seems to really cool my body down.

today i ate
one banana
two pieces of goetta
one tuna fish sandwich with lettuce & tomato on multigrain bread
one chocolate chip cookie
3 of my favorite eggrolls with sweet & sour dipping sauce
1 bowl of broccoli soup
1/2 cup salad with ranch dressing
lemoncello cake bad, bad, bad a whole piece and i took another one home to eat tomorrow. i'll have to workout extra hard.

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.
