I had this wonderful idea that I needed a jump-start to a healthier diet. For those of you that know I went on the no sugar diet for 30 days…. Well, I FAILED… Surprised…probably not if you know me at all. HaHaHa
I made it approximately 10 days without any sugar. Although on the seventh day I ate one Hersey kiss. I talked myself into pretending it didn’t count because it was my Birthday (and I didn’t even have any of my birthday cake.)
After 10 days I decided I would allow myself some sugar, just not the amount I was consuming before.
Then I decided to go a step farther and do the 9-day Isagenix cleanse. What in the Hell was I thinking? For those of you that have never done the "cleanse," for the first two days you eat nothing, besides six little tablets of chocolate chalk. Really…they taste of chalk with a sprinkle of chocolate. You do get a yummy tea like substance to drink four times a day and then pills to give you energy. I didn’t realize the pills were to give you energy, until Blake watched me down one right before bed. When I told him it said to take two a day, and that I assumed one in the morning and one at night, he laughed. They are for energy and are supposed to be taken in the morning, oops!
I am only on day 2, I feel like a truck has hit me. I am exhausted, starving, emotional and ornery. I am hopeful that after the rest of the 9 days I will feel better. I thought this would be a good start to try to eat better. My theory: if you realize how yummy food is and how you need it to sustain life, maybe I could be more aware of what I was putting in my mouth. I know after going to Bahio last night for Blake a huge fried fish fried burrito that I would never take for granted anything yummy again I put into my mouth.
Today I am STARVING..but maybe for a better eating future. We will see how I feel by day 9. Wish me Luck!!!

Wow! You need to tell me how this turns out. I could never do it! What about diet coke?
This post made me laugh for two reasons:
1. You not eating sugar....because you're like me, it's NOT possible.
2. Um, really? Like you need any if this garbage. You weigh like 67 pounds and look amazing. I know your Jean size btw, so you can't bs me.;)
I wish you luck. I'm sure Blair would end up divorcing me by the end of it;)
Tea-like drink? No. Vomit-like? Yes. That drink is awful. Plain and simple. I don't get how it really cleanses anyway? But I am sure I'll do it again. Even though I am not sure I am a believer. You don't need this. But you know that.
