Day 6: Cleansing is not for the faint of heart


Howdy voracious readers of my bloggy bloggity!

It's time to say goodnight.
It's time to close my eyes.
Soon I'll be snorin'.
Hope this post ain't borin'.
Just a few words to the wise.






Le foodage shoved down me gullet:

  • brown rice (boiled with ginger and nuked and slightly fried) frozen mixed veggies: carrots, peas, carrots, corn, green beans, 1 scrambled egg, served with black pepper and hot sauce
  • 8 teaspoons of peanut butter and a cup of milk
  • bowl of peppermint ice cream
  • 2-3 ladyfingers with pumpkin spice cream cheese
  • a very large salad with cheese and balsamic vinaigrette as well as red leafed lettuce, Roma tomato, black olives, red onion, French's Onion Crispy thingees, cucumber and zucchini,
  • 2 1/2 large pumpkin spice cream cheese and sweetened condensed milked pancakes with cinnamon and nutmeg in the batter, and topped with butter and strawberry jelly
  • 10 glasses of water, 1 cup of chamomile tea

Revised Adjustments starting TOMORROW:

No more dairy!

I've taken out coffee, and I've been drinking plenty of water today -- and I got a new white head! Yuck! No more huevos, no more butter, no more milk, no more cheese, no more ice cream. I am going to try this one and see what effect it has on my skin. The cystic red things, however, have been reducing in size as well as intensity. Obviously a good thing.

Energy:

Yawning at 10:00 pm and later. Like, ridiculously so. Which is a good thing as I believe it means my natural rhythms are balancing out. Nice.

But I must must MUST get better at going to bed on time. And get up earlier. Yup, that covers it.

On the bright side, it would take me an hour or more to 'wake up' when I was a java junkie. Now, it takes me about 5 minutes to fully adjust with a cup of warm tea. And I don't feel as tired when I wake in the morning! Life is beautiful!!!!

Still no sunrise but aiming for it on Friday...

Exercise:

  • I did a 5 minute brisk jog.

Cold winter air was oh so nice to inhale. Seriously, I mean it. I usually would go on long walks an hour before bed but it's just too cold, I'm too tired, and I know I better start doing things differently because the pups are getting antsy and rightly so.


How my face is doing:

I tried a mask that made my skin literally glow containing: 1 cup of oatmeal (microwaved because I'm a lazy bones!), 1 banana and 1/2 cup of whipping cream. Word to the wise: don't mash this stuff with your fingers like I did and end up seriously burned on the finger tips. Duh.

Face is feeling softer, redness reducing, but some tiny whiteheads popped up earlier today. Ugh. I've also worn a face mask to bed last night. Was not meant for overnight but I wanted to suck up all the excess oil I was feeling on my chinny chin chin. Yup.

About the cleansing part that is naturally a result of my increase in veggies:

Let's just say all of the greenage I've been eating is pulling all the toxic gunk outta my system. I will spare you the gory detail unless you really really really reallly wanna know what's up...or down. Two words: skunk funk.

But it's all good, right? I mean, in a sick and gross way I am happy to undergo the not-so-pretty aspects of cleansing and just because I'm producing all sorts of weird byproduct doesn't make me any less of a person on a mission to get things straight with her health!

I've yawned 10 times since I started to blog this very post.

Go to bed, you there, sir or ma'am reading this, it's past your bed time. Unless you're on the other side of the world from me or whatever...

Yawning like it's goin' outta style,

Jennifer
