Well, It's time. I'm ready. I keep thinking that maybe I'm not, maybe I don't REALLY want to do this, but something in me keeps pushing me, saying "GO already!". My body is ready for this, my subconcious is ready for this, so in a couple days "this" will happen. 

              What is "this"? That, I am not entirely sure yet. I have done water fasting before, just short jaunts of a few days here and there. This time I want to try for 10-14 days, possibly more.  But the thing is, I don't think I want to just do a water fast. I'm thinking of mixing in a few aspects of the Master Cleanse in there, too... but again, I'm not sure. I like the idea of a salt water flush every few days to help flush out the toxins, with the Smooth Move tea the night prior. I like lemon water, but don't really want to buy/mix it with syrup and cayenne pepper... so maybe I'll just take what I like and go with it, and see how it feels. If it feels wrong then switch it up until it feels right. 

    I am doing this for a number of reasons, 2 fairly big ones. First, of course, is weight. I would LOVE to lose a total of 70 lbs eventually, having 5 kids can wreck a girls body! And I feel this can be a good way to start things off, fresh. Another reason is the detox aspect of it. There are SO many foods that have been making me sick lately. It started out a few years ago with lactose sensitivity. More recently it's any slightly greasy meat, or any food, meat OR veggie, cooked in any type of oil. My stomach just can't handle it and it's getting annoying and frustrating. I need to eat better, and again, this is a great way to get a fresh start. I will be hitting up the grocery store today or tomorrow to get some fresh veggies to eat for a day, and then move on to juice for a day, and then on to water. I'll keep everyone (anyone?) posted, as I do believe blogging or journaling to be helpful during the fasting process.

              So bye for now, and good luck in your own journeys!
