Day 6: My Jealous Husband Is Joining!!!

I lost one, but I think I am gaining another!! My husband is feeling really guilty about eating and was making fun of my "cleanse"....and wouldn't you know it...he was secretly wishing to do it himself! Ha! So, tomorrow I am putting him on the cleanse...easing him in w/ fruits and vegetables! He is just going to finish in out with me....not add any extra days.

I am bored with the lemonade....I only drank 1 liter today so far....I just can't do another sip today. So, I made myself the tea w/ 1 tablespoon of maple syrup...since I didn't use it in the lemonade. I am getting creative...

I went for a brisk walk and felt great....I definitely feel lighter and healthier.

I spoke to my sister tonight. She was diagnosed with low progesterone as well....honestly there is an epidemic!! We need to go back to storing foods and drink in glass! And getting rid of those extra hormones in everything...ugh!!! What is a woman to do??? Anyhow, she has to take the shots of HCG...(maybe I can sneak a hit!!) So, my husband needs to have a conference call with her husband to explain to him how to do it. My husband was very good w/ the shots...I think he actually enjoyed it. He always wanted to be a doctor instead of a funeral director!! Ha!

SNOWING in Colorado!! The Phillies game is canceled for tonight. Play the stupid game during normal hours...and get a dome over your stadium!!

Day 5-My Daughter Bails!!

But, I am kinda happy about that! I didn't think she needs it..and shouldn't be doing it while trying to do well in school and work after school. So, last night she broke down and had New England clam chowder...it looked good!

I also decided to change a few things:

I didn't do the orange juice "ease in" day...so I only did two "ease in" days. I am getting rid of the orange juice ease out day. So, that lessens my detox to 2 weeks instead of 16 days. I think that is enough of a detox. 2weeks without food is hard enough!!! Plus, I am not doing the salt wash at all. I mixed the salt and water up....and it almost made me throw-up....and I just can't imagine having a quart of sea water in my belly! The teas work just fine...and really!....there is nothing left in me to come out...the teas will be milder and easier to digest. I believe the original detox said you could do either/or/both....

The chocolate tea was not as tasty as the original.....the "chocolate" in the title got me excited...but there is no Hersey in that tea!!!!

Phils lost....sniff...sniff...

Remember When I Said I Loved My New Juicer....

Well....I take it back. I am tired of juicing lemons!!! Already! Day 4 of the Master Cleanse...and all is good. But the juicing is never ending. Everything must be made fresh! I am perplexed as to why I am not hungry and have had no hunger pains. This lemonade stuff must really do the trick.

I had the "smooth move" tea last night...and I am telling you this stuff is better than any type of medicine!! It works...it taste like crap....but it works. I had to get more lemons at Whole Foods and I found some Chocolate "smooth move" tea....maybe that will taste better. I drank it at 8:00...while watching Glee....and by 7:00 that next morning my intestines were clear!!! Craziness!! I feel like I am 10 pounds lighter!

I am making my husband an amazing dinner...it looks so good!! However, a flip flop would probably taste good at this point! I am making a cashew crusted salmon w/ rice and a Ceaser salad!!
Yummy!!

Dr. T called me this morning (the call back took about a week...notice how patient I was)...and she told me that my progesterone levels at p+7 were great! And that I was officially allowed to TTC....I am wondering if the MC will effect this in any way....

Anyone know???

Off to watch the rest of the Phillies....they are losing 4-3 right now...ugh!!!!!

Day 3 of the Master Cleanse!

Am I becoming a broken record? I feel like I need to document this adventure...it will hold me accountable. I had a really hard time sleeping last night. I got up at 3:30...and was in and out of sleep till about 6:00. I usually get up at 6:00 to braid my daughter's hair and then I go back for 1 hour. My daughter gets up at 5:30 every morning and leaves the house by 6:50 for school!!

So, today was just orange juice w/ the maple syrup. I was so sick of orange juice that I decided to make a liter of the lemonade concoction. 7 tablespoons of lemon juice, 7 tablespoons of the pure unrefined maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. I like it! It is spicy, but much better than the orange juice! I can't imagine drinking only this stuff for 10 days....but if you are not suffering there is no gain!!

Tonight while watching "Glee"..I will drink a cup of the "smooth move" herbal tea....love the name!!

On the fertility front: CD5...nothing to say.....nothing!

Day 2 of the Master Cleanse!

Feeling good....not really hungry. Although I should be. I had a glass of organic o.j this morning, a raspberry, banana smoothie....with no smooth (milk)..and a glass of V8 for lunch. I might just skip a dinner...I am not a fan of the texture of things blended up so I am already ready to move on to the lemonade mixture. I don't like yogurt, tapioca pudding, cottage cheese..or anything of the sort. I have never been a fan.

I am going to try and get a walk in by the end of the day. It is so beautiful out!!

Day 1 of the Master Cleanse!

The "Ease In" started today. It is going okay...but would have gone better if I didn't go out last night for a few beers with my husband. So far I had a banana, apple, half of an avocado, and some slices of red pepper. For dinner I am going to have broccoli and some cantaloupe. I also went out and got a citrus juicer using my 20% off coupon at Bed Bath and Beyond...which is so much fun! I tried it out on an orange and the juice is perfect! My third day will be only orange juice...so that won't be that bad.

I have a headache...which could be from the beer, lack of coffee, or sugar...not sure which. I am excited to feel light and energized. I hope I can make it for the 16 days!!! I have to cook a London Broil tonight for dinner. The smell is going to torture me!!!

I wish I owned a scale because I won't be able to document weight loss. I can always tell by my clothes...so that will have to do

I am sorry that you will have to be reading about food...but I will try to shake it up.

I'll be back to post at the end of the day....

Period!

Yeah..that's right! Period! CD1...knew it was coming. I feel crappy and I am sad about this....I am running out of months. That is how I feel...I wanted to at least be pregnant before I turned 40.....I have two months left. I hate putting a time frame on this...I am already going to be an "Old Mom"....I should just just give in and get a dog......

But, I don't want a dog!!
