Post-Master Cleanse=Wine :))

Note to self: never read previous entries before attempting to write a new one, you'll never be able to remember what you wanted to write about. Oops.

I am officially done with the master cleanse. I 'fasted' for eight days, only five of which were lemonade days. So in truth I barely did the cleanse. But my clothes fit great and I feel amazing. I had some eggs over-easy yesterday evening on toast and fruit throughout the day. Today at work I had a half of a chicken breast sandwich and a bunch of snacks just to get through work til I could get to Dominicks and pick up more fruit and veggies and stuff to make trail mix. I really am glad I did the cleanse because I realized how horribly I eat, especially at work. I understand now how important staying hydrated is.

Making the lemonade is actually going to continue as a semi-regular meal, probably two to three days a week I plan on 'fasting' on that and then preparing a really heart-healthy dinner. At least this is what I plan on doing up until the weather gets cooler and I can start running again. My body needs something more than just biking, especially if I'm going to be able to still treat myself to some of the stuff I bake. But in the meantime I'm focusing on a lower processed foods in my diet and upping the raw fruits, veggies, and nuts-especially for snacks. Wine is going to slowly take over the every day consumption of beer (No mas PBR if I can); however, the whiskey is going to stay-come on, it's good for the body...in moderation?

Seriously, I drink too much and I'm really glad I was able to notice the difference between me consuming alcohol (almost)every day and me not drinking for a week-no raccoon eyes, less need to sleep in, more energy.

Here I stand, in my kitchen after making trail mix out of honey-o's cereal, dark chocolate m&ms, double roasted peanuts, roasted almonds, and organic raisins; drinking a glass of red wine after having some red raspberry yogurt; listening to Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and Fleet Foxes.

Next big dilemma: Paying for approx. $300 worth of books for autumn quarter. Good thing I'm taking a week off this month.

The Bible as Literature. Foucault and Bio-power. Early American Literature. Modern British Literature. eeeeeks.
