Chris - That's great that they came in 2nd! But AARGH about the cars being vandalized.

Jane - Sorry you're struggling at the moment. I hope the additional T session will be helpful.

BPA - I hope your appts. go well. I can relate to family making hurtful comments. Even when said in jest, there's sometimes an inkling of truth that it's what they think - just downplayed through humor. It hurts nonetheless.

I just got home from my friend's house. I had an awful time. *sigh*

My friend had her friend there - and both of them were drunk....this friend of hers just broke up with her married boyfriend and was hanging all over the one guy that was there with us, which was totally annoying. My friend ended up getting upset about her life situation and was crying for about 1-1/2 hours.

My migraine was intensifying....and I pretty much was there listening to the one guy who is quite self-absorbed, while he went on and on about stuff - while this other drunk woman was either consoling my friend or putting her legs or hands on this guy's lap, or showing him her cleavage.

All in all, I wish I stayed home.

MUE....sorry you had such an awful evening. Next time listen to your gut and stay home! Hope your migraine stops soon.

Thanks, Jane.

Yeah, I probably should've stayed home. I usually tend to push myself to do things even if I don't want to - because getting out is typically helpful when I feel that twinge of depression setting in. But this night left me feeling worse, for a whole host of reasons. Eh, I'll get over it.

Hope your session goes well tomorrow. (( HUGS ))

I can relate to the pushing yourself when things get harder. My T said something like its the perfectionist in me trying to cover up the hard time I am having. It of course has the opposite effect in the end huh? Sounds the same for you maybe? Sorry that the big D is knocking on your door, big

I now have to have time off work because I was losing my marbles! (Its ok if I take the mickey out of myself right?)

((((BPA)))) I know that feeling.
On a lighter note: when I watched the video, all I could think of was how sad it was that his lettuce was not fresh and green and vibrant. I literally was thinking "oh that poor man has no fresh produce".

Lola and Ike... I can wait till NOV 1 if you two can start the fast then. We can be a threesome. Anyone else want in? Come on Hankster...you eat almost nothing to begin with...you can do this. I know you can. Who else is sick and tire of being sick and tired? Join us!!!

Ok...off my soap box. Move along people, eat your cool whip, nothing to see here.

Went to a benefit concert last night that H had orchestrated. We have two churches on Cape that burned down last year, and we wanted to show them love and raise some $$$ for them. It was well attended, but not a packed house. We raised a few grand. It saddened me though. With all of the churches on the Cape of various denominations...that place should have been packed out, standing room only. A few thousand should have been tens of thousand. Why can't churches get out of their own way and come together? Sad.

i am quite sure he is plotting my demise

Wiki- what does this fast consist of??

I doubt I have enough self discipline to actually stick to it, but I suppose it is worth looking into!

im off to do some friend time today and pumpkin beer

Have fun Granite.

thanks ready. hope you have a good day today

I hope everyone has a great Sunday!! the weekend is just getting started really, we don't have school Monday or Tuesday of this coming week!!

H and I are sitting at home waiting to leave for church.. Kids spent the night at the IL's house.. it has been so quiet and relaxing with them not here!

ok so first things is first, I need a juicer....

I'm in Wiki. Do I really need a juicer? A blender won't work?

Juicing for Weight Loss | Reboot With Joe | Fat Sick & Nearly Dead
Check out the site IKE, we need to determine the type we are doing too... so I can get the groceries

I love that picture Granite!

Not feeling very strong today....Letting my H and his issues pull me down....

He says contradictory things to me... even his apologies don't sound like apologies...

RTS just remove yourself from him today and counteract his junk with a positive thought.

Im bidding on a juicer on Ebay ....

Granite the kitty is pretty.... I missed the name of the new one?

Get a good juicer if you plan on sticking with it. A cheap, hard to clean juicer is a pain in the ***.

Breville 800JEXL ???? There are only a million to choose from.

A friend of mine told me about that guy and the juicer thing a several months ago. She bought a juicer and she and her husband followed whatever the program is and she said they felt wonderful, were even thinking that they may not need some of their meds soon. She also said that her juicer is easy to clean and that's the only reason that she was able to stick with it as it would have gotten old really fast to be struggling to clean it several times a day.

Easy to clean juicer is a MUST. Seriously. No one wants to spend an hour and a half making a glass of juice when you're starving.

Breville is a good juicer, you just have to make sure you clean the screen asap after making the juice. You can spend a ton of money on them, but whereas you are just starting I think that's a good one.

I want to do at least 10 days, but that option isn't on the page anymore, so I think we'll follow the 5 day one.
Healed - Every day its :
5-6 glasses of fresh juice
1 glass coconut water
64 oz of water
1 cp plain herbal tea at night.

Ike... A juicer is the best way...but seriously, don't buy something you won't use. I don't see any problem with doing smoothies, as long as its more veggie than fruit. I don't think you could do beets or sweet potatoes or carrots in a blender...but if you stick to to softer veggies I don't see why it wouldn't work. Its getting the phytonutrients in you and cleansing the toxins that's important.

Make sure you can do this with the medications you are on, okay peeps? Check with the doc. I don't want to be responsible for anyone getting sick.

They say the first 4 days are HELL...so you want to plan for that, and warn your families...and animals...lol. I have never done a fast this long, I've done a weekend. I did a smoothie fast for 30 days, but I ate 1 meal a day, and cheated a few times. Although, after my pancreatic surgery I did go a few weeks on just italian ice...but I was so sick to begin with and going thru chemo, I don't think that counts.

I'm excited ... 5 day agreed , then maybe we can continue if we want? Ike, wiki and me ... Who else is in?

I hate spending time in the kitchen. Having to "cook" and wash every meal is not gonna happen. I usually microwave a wrap on a paper plate, spread some guac on it with a plastic fork, open a flip top can of chicken, put it on top of the guac, put some prewashed arugula on top of the chicken, wrap it up, then throw out the paper plate a week later when there's a stack of them blocking the tv. I use the same coffee cup over and over without washing cuz it tastes better that way, doesn't it?

And we can post here on the couch everyday how we are doing.

And coconut water makes me barf. But I will be supportive and november will be month 4 of my 10 month plan so never say never.
