House Hunters

I've been watching a lot of hgTV's House Hunters lately. People are oddly picky, annoying, and want a ton of closet space.

detoxification

I was concerned about heavy metals in my body - apparently the symptoms for having to much of those describes me. So I have been kicking around the idea of a detox for a week or so and finally bought a kit and started yesterday. To start the morning I swallowed 4 "UltraCaps" of "FiberFusion" - no kidding does that not sound dangerous- and I was supposed to drink like 64 oz of water through out the day (I may have made it to 32). And then before I went to bed, another 4 "FiberFusion" missiles, 1 "Super Milk Thistle," and (not joking) 3 (THREE!) "Whole Body Cleanse Laxative Formula." I then went to bed expecting disaster or at least a hurried trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but no, besides the pee trip at 2am because of the 12oz of water that I chugged right before bed, nothing. And as of yet today - still not much movement, some movement, but not what I was wanting. I did get up and take 4"FF"s this morning and I will take the cocktail of 8 pills tonight, maybe I should be doing better on their diet tips which include no highly processed foods, avoiding foods with refined flour, sugar, saturated fats, and artificial sweeteners, no caffeine or alcohol, limiting beef, pork, cold cuts, sausage, bacon, hotdogs, shellfish, soy products, peanuts, refined oils, margarine or shortening, oh, and a minimum amount of dairy and wheat. I know that this still leaves many foods to eat, like leaves, but, come on - dairy? soy products? BACON?
Any-who. I'll keep you posted - I was down 5lbs this morning, even without pooping. So that's good.

The small things

I ate breakfast this morning and took the dog out - I think I am getting better sleep because of our light blocking curtains.

For Autumn

Since I am pretty sure that you are the only one that comes here, I'll give you an update. I am down 20-25 pounds since November (my heaviest), not where I want to be yet, but I am okay with my body now and I feel better. I am thinking about banning wheat from my diet - my body doesn't handle it well. I am also going to try working out more soon - it is always going to happen soon.
I have been getting things in order, slowly and room by room. I am in love with how my bedroom is turning out and I am also happy with the bathroom, I started with the smallest room and am working up. While I am very willing to get rid of stuff, but the laziness that is keeping me from taking it down to the car is overwhelming, so our storage room is stuffed full of clothing to get rid of.
Things are going well, I'll give specifics later - maybe pictures or something.
