Day one of the cleanse

Day 6 of the Isagenix strict 30 days is Day 1 of the "DEEP CLEANSE". 
I am skeptical. I only have a little weight to lose, and it's hardest for people to get off those "last few" (10-15?!) pounds. I don't foresee huge results. I'm know I'm not about to lose ten pounds over this two day cleanse. I hope/wish/PRAY to lose it over the course of the 30 days.

But seriously, there's almost no solid food involved for 2 days. I guess the Isadelights chocolates are "solid (although I suck on them and they melt lol). Then there's the Snacks! wafers. I suck on them too though and they dissolve. I have not gone #2 since 7:30 am. I'm curious what's going on it there.

How do I feel? Not hungry. But HIGH. Like, wired. I know the Isadelights have a little caffeine in them but woo. I feel like I had a red bull on an empty stomach. And I wish I didn't have to sit at this desk until 5ish PM- because it's a beautiful day outside and I HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY!

Note- That is what snagged me about this program. ENERGY. I want to burst free from being tired and cranky and depressed. I will do anything. I need to be able to be awake from 7am until 10pm and working hard in between. I need energy. I need to be smiling while awake. I need to be happy with myself to be happy in general. So yeah- time for more "cleanse" potion. It doesn't taste so bad so I don't mind drinking it down. I'm not sure what rate you're supposed to consume any of the stuff at. So I take the whole hour if I can to do what is on the schedule.

And I got my 45 minute walk on at lunch :)

Not too shabby

Everyone's thinking it, I'm asking: Is today's left wing liberalism a mental illness?

This is a serious topic of discussion on 'the right'. Not even the far right... the center right. The " 68 % conservatives", the "Centrists", the "Young Outsiders", and the "Somewhat Liberals".  I don't know what the spectrum is for "political or world views" but I'd have to say I hang to the right and the conservative. Which sounds so weird, because CONSERVATIVE is not really a word I'd  ever  use to describe myself. But I talked about this in past blog posts... today's topic is, are people on the FAR LEFT suffering from mental illness? My psychologist sister would have you believe that everyone suffers from some form of mental illness in varying degrees. I suffer from anxiety which induces depression. FUN! The anxiety is inherited, the depression is what occurs when you stop learning how to cope with new or prolonged anxiety inducing situations. Anxiety is a product of chemical imbalance, it can be trea...

sensory overload

We soothe ourselves and distract ourselves and, if we can’t even face the demons inside our own brain, how can we be expected to stick something out, to love someone even when it’s not easy to love them? We bail. We leave. We see a limitless world in a way that no generation before us has seen. We can open up a new tab, look at pictures of Portugal, pull out a Visa, and book a plane ticket. We don’t do this, but we CAN. The point is  that we know we can, even if we don’t have the resources to do so. There are always other tantalizing options. Open up Instagram, Facebook, SnapChat and see the lives of others, the life we could have. The life that just looks so much more glamorous, vibrant (thanks, filters), and exciting than ours. See the places we’re not traveling to. See the lives we’re not living. See the people we’re not dating. We bombard ourselves with stimuli, input, input, input, and we wonder why we’re miserable. We wonder why we’re dissatisfied. ...

The new normal: Fat acceptance

A new study published in the 'International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology, and Education' reveals that the average size of an American woman is now between a 16 to 18, which is an increase from 10-year-old data that indicated most women in the U.S. were a size 14. "I am hoping this will help nudge the fashion industry to seriously consider expanding their sizes," said study author Deborah Christel, Ph.D. LOL...  But you don't make the connection between larger sizes of humans overall and obesity? You don't hope that the results of the 'study' you did encourage people to start eating better and exercising more and you know, stop being obese? You just hope the multi billion dollar fashion industry changes its ways... er, um, sizes. Because... feelings? I mean, anyone who says they can't find clothing in their size is forgetting to tell you the whole story, leaving out key factors like: can't find clothing in their price range, can...
