Cycle One: Accelerate! Day 9 - A new beginning

BREAKFAST...


Oh yes, the juice has a wonderful colour and I am sure it's nutritional properties are fit for a queen. 


My kingdom is my body and I am the lone ruler of this domain. I know that this is a healthy way of thinking and that I have been waiting to succeed on the throne for many years. I was not ready to inherit the position until my mind and body said enough is enough. Time to govern over the entire state of Messa. 


Today, both Irene and I ate leftovers. On purpose. The soup that I made the night before was

Cycle One: Accelerate! Day 8 - Monday Madness

Hi everyone!

I got up late this morning, booo. It's my sixth day of watching the sun come up. 

Have no fear because I was accompanied during the night by my favourite male You Tuber of the "Cosmetic/Make Up" genre, Wayne Goss. His videos are extremely concise when it comes to cosmetics because he get's to the meat of the problem/product instead of dancing around unnecessary information. Chalk that up to being a guy. More technical facts, less emotional filler. For those of you who appreciate the bitter truth, love a good laugh and have a penchant for cosmetics, Wayne Goss is THE go to guy to watch! Not to mention that I get a kick our of his vernacular and command of the English language.. SENSATIONAL! For more on Wayne Goss, please follow his blog here: Goss Makeup Artist or if you feel daring, subscribe to his channel on You Tube here: Goss Makeup Artist on You Tube. I am always daring, darlings... 

Sunday's Seven

Hi everybody! Or nobody. 


So far I think I am the only one who is jacking up the page views on this site from all my posting, photos and editing. But that's OKAY. Even if I'm only encouraging myself, I am still going through with this.


Today I think that I was being hit up by the critical healing phase of my diet. My symptoms included some minor stomach irritation that began last night. 


I have to be clear about mentioning that in the 17 Day Diet, Dr. Moreno made no references to

Cycle One: Accelerate! Day 6 - Gobble Gobble Gobble

Hi everyone, if there is anyone out there.

Carrot, cabbage, celery and ginger juice! Yummers!

Sleep is so important. Not just for the purpose of resting but also for restoring our bodies while we sleep. Our livers for instance, go through a very healthful phase and peak their rejuvenation, somewhere between the hours of 11 pm and 2 am. If we are not sleeping or at least resting, our bodies don't recover from the elements that we expose them to.


Both Irene and I were late in getting to sleep, in fact it wasn't until 2:45 am that Irene toddled off to bed and I watched the sunrise for the third day in a row. I know. But

Cycle One: Accelerate! Day 5 - A 10 lb loss

Greetings health fans!

I'm here to say that Irene and I spent the day apart today. I was awake until almost 8 am when I heard her get up and begin juicing her breakfast. It was about 9:30 when she walked by my room and I turned to speak to her through the door that I had left open the night before. 


She went on with her plans for the day and left for town and I went back to bed to try and sleep. I had a mother of a headache and could barely move my head. This was the fourth time in nearly two weeks that I have had a headache, today being the worst.

Cycle One: Accelerate! Day 4 - ALOHA

Not so great morning, Thursday...

Doing the Hawaiian Hula In Walmart with tinsel as my Lei & Skirt!

6:07 am
I was still awake from the previous day and felt hungry and tired. Bad combo. I ate my leftover caramel yogurt and Granny Smith apple for breakfast and literally crashed out.


10:10 am
Starbucks with Noriko. I had my usual venti, bold pick with skim milk and decided to add one Splenda to the mix. It was hot and comforting, something I especially needed after going a night with minimal sleep. The two of us laughed and had a nice conversation. I am glad that there is no problem with a language barrier between us.

DEATH on the West Bank

Wednesday...
Hi everybody! 


I am taking the liberty of writing something a little bit different than the original format that I have been using since we began this blog.


Irene and I had an exceptionally good day. We shared beautiful beet juice and laughs, as I weighed myself after two days on the 17 Day Diet and had a drop in 7 pounds. WOW. Irene also weighed in at 197 pounds, down 3! YAY. 

Today we had a small telephone reunion with friends two provinces away in Saskatchewan and company that came over later for tea with toast and jam. A lovely treat of which neither Irene and I partook of.


Irene and I have a standing scheduled appointment every Wednesday night and her nerves were a bit bad, so I decided to go out by myself. When I left the house I noticed that our neighbours across the street were paying more than the usual attention to my movements. Also, there were vehicles parked everywhere; cars in their driveway, on the street in front of their house, our house, next door... really, everywhere. I joked to myself that they were starting their seasonal party waaay ahead of schedule this year, and drove off.
