Countdown to 7 Day Cleanse

Just getting back from a short vacation where I did not take the best care of my body, I really wanted to try this 7-Day Cleanse I read about. Supposedly you feel great after the week, and you lose some weight (and I know I've gained some here recently.) The diet reads that you lose 10-17 pounds! To lose 10 pounds would be awesome! ;) I'm not sure how realistic that goal is, but I intend to find out. I plan to blog about my experience every day of the week. I need a sort of support system. I'm writing to myself, I suppose, but I think this will help me stick through it. I can do anything for a week.

Here are my concerns. I hate water. I hate it. It is foul. It is wet and tasteless and makes me gag. I said it. And I have to drink a ton this week. And no alcohol. None. Yeah. Wow. As I type this, I'm having my last coke zero/ vanilla vodka for a week. I even added a shot of amaretto to it tonight. Why not? And I am limited to black coffee in the mornings. No sweetener or cream or milk. I can do it though. Or I'm a complete... what's a nice word I can use??.... um.... wimp. Drink the water. Drink the black coffee. Don't drink the vodka. Easy.

And I love sweets. Milk duds and sugar daddies and other chewy goodness that ruin your teeth. No sweets this week. I love sweets. It's a problem sometimes. I eat too many. And none this week? Cold turkey? Should be interesting...

And I hate tomatoes. They are slimy and cold. Gross. It may as well be raw egg to me. There is one day I must eat 6 whole tomatoes. So guess what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna put my big girl panties on and eat 6 whole tomatoes. Because I'm not a..... wimp.

And beef? I don't really eat it much. It makes me feel yuck. I'll eat a filet every once in a while. And I eat hamburgers from time to time. But I could really live without it. There is one day I am supposed to eat 2 10 oz. portions of beef. I will throw up. I can tell you right now that is not happening. But I'm not worrying about that right now.

I weighed just now. 128. Yuck. I've gained about 4 pounds. Well GOODBYE in a week. I will weigh next Monday night and I BETTER be way lighter than that. Because I'm not eating cold sliminess and disgusting water and gross coffee and no delicious foods for a week for nothing. So stay tuned for my day-to-day culinary trials and tribulations. I'll let you know how horrible it is and will be brutally honest about it. The water will be the worst part.

Tomorrow it begins. Fruits. All day. Shouldn't be too bad.
