Hungry, Hungry Hippo

So the fruit juice diet lasted almost two days...then I caved and had 3 pieces of pizza.  But oooh well...I'm actually really hungry right now and I might have some frozen peas.  Darn Katie for getting me hooked on those oh so many years ago!  I really need to get to sleep too.  I went to sleep at 9 PM and then I woke up at like 1 and couldn't fall asleep again, but I need to be up again by 11 because at 12:15 Maggie is picking me up so I can go see her dance show...yay!  I love dance shows, they're so much fun.

In other news, I'm so excited for my shows that are coming up.  I just need to perfect the one part in the middle of Peace Frog and tighten up all the loose ends on my Doors songs because those shows are Friday and Saturday.  Then I have 2 weeks to finish perfecting Paradise City and Civil War for the Guns 'N' Roses vs. Motley Crue show.  Aaahh so nerve-wracking yet exciting!  But I just love performing.  To me, there's nothing more fun and exciting than hanging out backstage...be it for a dance show, a music show, or any other kind of show.  Backstage is just such an exciting place to be!

There Are Worse Things I Could Do

Started my fruit juice diet today!  I haven't broken yet, so that's good.  I'm a little hungry but I'll live, I've gotten good at denying my hunger after many a midnight craving when there's nothing in the house.  Fruit juice is so much better than that darn lemon juice crap.  It actually tastes good and doesn't make me want to puke!  So today I had a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, and two glasses of a smoothie containing fresh kiwis, bananas, strawberries, ice...and possibly something else I've forgotten.  But it was good.  Tomorrow I might throw some veggies into the blender and mix something up with them too.  There's lots of good recipes in the book that came with the Vita-Mix.  The Vita-Mix is so awesome!  You can make soup, ice cream, smoothies, fondue...all kinds of junk.  It's amazing.

I also went on a walk today!  I'm not sure of the exact length, I'm going to check tomorrow, but I'm guessing about 2 miles.  It was very nice!

In other news, there is talk of adding a cute little studio apartment complete with bathroom, kitchenette, and walk-in closet above our garage for me to live in.  That sounds pretty fun to me!  It'd be good-sized too, about 400 square feet.  I already have a fridge and a bunch of fancy china and stuff.  I guess I'd need regular plates though...but yeah I'm excited to see how this develops!

I also find it odd how someone who shan't be named posted a blog about starting the lemon detox 2 days after I blogged about starting it.  Hmmm...probably coincidence though, since absolutely NO ONE reads this.

Never On A Sunday

So the lemonade master cleanse didn't really work out for me.  I made it halfway through the first day and then I couldn't drink that junk without gagging!  So tomorrow I'm starting on a fruit juice cleanse, drinking only freshly squeezed juices and water.  That I'm positive I'll be able to handle =]

Wish me luck!

Happy Days

Today is day UNO of the lemonade master cleanse detox fasting thingy.  Yay!  For the next few days, I get to drink 38 ounces a day of a lovely combo of maple syrup, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and water.  And that's it.  I can't eat anything else, but I can have lots of water and green tea.  Supposedly there are cheat foods too and I'm guessing they're your standard negative calorie foods but I'm not going to risk it quite yet.  My starting weight is 170 so we'll see how this goes.

After the detox is over I'm going to eat healthily and get exercising!  During the detox I'm doing a mile brisk walk daily, then afterwards I'll continue and add in some light cardio.  I'll have to ease my way back into eating again but that'll just make it easier to avoid the things that I don't need.  I'm so pumped for this, I can't wait to get into a bathingsuit!

Hoop-De-Doo

Blaaaargh.  I'm hungry.  And it's 4 AM.  And I'm lazy.  Boohoo =[

I'm kinda sleepy and I know I should go to sleep so I think I will in a few minutes here.  I just felt like posting some nothingness.

It's cold in here!  But alas, I can curl up in bed whilst I write this, as I have finally gone 100% wireless!  Yipee!  No more darn 50 foot ethernet cord to drag around the house with me.  I have this here MacBook, my Wii, my PS3, and the desktop connected wirelessly.  It's quite fabulous.

What else is new you ask?  (Wow, now I'm hearing questions from nonexistent readers.)  I've been cleaning!  It's amazing!  I emptied out one whole box of junk I had sitting around and I've started putting stuff that needs to go into storage in it.  I've also got my desk 98% clean.  I rearranged a bunch of crap to optimize the space, took some stuff off, and now it's looking lovely.  The only stuff that still has to find a new home is the stuffed frog my parents gave me when I got back from Tucson, which I think will look nice on top of my bookshelf, my camera tripod, which I can just stick inside the camera bag, some pictures that I need to hang up, and the Chia Head that I got for Christmas which is still in the box because I haven't figured out the best place to set it up yet.

Hmm...other than that...just been doing homework, drumming, and playing The Sims.  I do love that game.

But I've blathered on for far too long, so alas, it is time I sleep.  Farewell!
