how's it going?

FITNESS
Right now, I am HUNGRY! My husband and I started a colon cleanse/detox today. We started after breakfast. Actually, I walked downstairs to find find my husband finishing off the last of his favorite dessert, so I decided I'd have some breakfast. Then we started our cleanse.

The recipe for the colon cleanse is 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp. organic maple syrup, grade B, and 1/10 tsp. ground cayenne pepper mixed into 8 oz. of room temperature water. Drink at least 12 glasses throughout the day. That's it - no other food or drinks for 10 days. Also, drink a cup of herbal, laxative tea before bed and sea salt mixed into a quart of water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

Currently, I am wishing for a huge meal. I smelled food while out shopping today. I see food on T.V. (I am watching season 6 of CSI). I would love to eat a pizza from Papa John's. I hope to continue the cleanse for at least a few days, if not the full ten days. My goal is to be healthier, clear out toxins from my system, loose a few pounds from over indulging the last couple months, and get back on track as far as my eating habits.

My ankle is a little less swollen today. I bought a brace yesterday. My cousin had a boot (which the dr. had suggested I wear for ten days, but would've cost me $200, so I decided not to get one). I wore the boot while I went in search of bargains today. Now another part of my foot is sore, but my ankle seems a little better!

YOGA
I ordered something called a Yoga Fan from Title Nine. It came in the mail today. Basically, it is a set of cards with information about yoga poses. One can go through all the poses in 90 minutes, or choose to do less poses. I purchased this to learn some new poses and maybe to create my own routines. I read through the fan today, but didn't do any yoga. I plan to try to get some exercise tomorrow. Most of the poses I was already familiar with, but there are a few new ones to try and practice.

OTHER INFORMATION
We went to revisit a table today, hoping for a good sale. The table is at Norwood Furniture, but the sale was not so hot, so...still no dining room table. A new table that fits our house and more than four guests is on the top of my priority list, but my accountant a.k.a. my husband is being very "practical." We have used up our house budget for 2008 and looks like we'll have to wait a few months into 2009 for the table.
