Sarcomical: Short and Sweet

Short and Sweet

I'm going to make this update speedy, since The Husband got back from a week in CA tonight and I really just want to sit with him on the couch and not be anywhere near the computer. Gotta get all the smooooshiness in before he leaves again Tuesday!

The Master Cleanse, Day 7:

Pretty good day, though I didn't feel quite as fabulous as yesterday. I can tell I'm still having some fluid moving in my lungs because I woke up with a different kind of congested feeling in my chest that went away mostly once I started moving around.
I made turkey chili for The Husband tonight at MY request. (It's Rachael Ray's Indian Summer Turkey Chili, YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!!! even if you are afraid to try ground turkey this is amazing. I wanted to post the link here but the recipe online with the Food Network is quite different than the one in her book, so if you want to check it out sometime it's in here - maybe I'll post it sometime, too.) I couldn't wait to just get my hands on some food and make something! Being alone all week helped me in one way (quiet times to be thoughtful about this process), but I missed being able to stir something on the stove and chop up stuff, which I can't exactly do for myself right now.
My will to continue is still strong but wavered a little tonight simply from being very, very tired of only having the Lemon Drink. I'm SO anxious to taste other things. Hunger-wise and energy-wise I feel nothing negative, except if I skip drinking THAT COLD, KILL-ME-WITH-THE-MONOTONY NOW drink too long. The anticipation to break this is becoming the real mental challenge now. Three more days feels like forever!
For now, tomorrow is still a go with continuing. At this point, if I don't feel bad I just don't see a reason not to after having come this far. I still get tired earlier at night, but that's not a bad thing. You just don't want to do anything too strenuous on this if you don't have to.
And with that, I'm off to relax and catch up on the DVR'd stuff we've missed! First up: 30 Rock. Tina Fey, man...that is one rockin' lady.
