So after binging for three weeks straight, I decided to hoist my every growing ass back up on the bandwagon. I always feel like I need a jump start and that jump start usually is the Wild Rose Detox.
I want to be clear. I don't think my liver is all that dirty and am skeptical (because that's just one of my charming personality quirks) about the supplements HOWEVER I am also very cheap so by shelling out 30 some-odd dollars for the cleanse I ensure that I will do it (I am aware of how stupid that sounds, but I figure whatever. It works).
I am now on day 6.
The lethargy has somewhat lifted.
The shakes have stopped.
The sugar craving has subsided (proof: the family ate halloween candy in front of my last night, and while in the back of my head I thought them rude and inconsiderate, I refrained from wrestling anyone to the ground to steal their chocolate *note: they were mostly eating Coffee Crisp which are kind of gross, but will do in a pinch, so maybe I'm not quite over the sugar thing).
And to put it delicately, my bathroom routine, is once again routine.
And I am down 4 lbs already.
So the next 6 days should be a breeze.
My biggest concern is that I have already planned, in no particular order:
Gnocci Mac & Cheese
Gingerbread Trifle
Chicken & Garlic Lasagne.
Screw you, Pinterest, and the delicious horse you rode in on.

I woke up this morning to find that my prints had be featured in several lovely treasuries, here they are, in no particular order:
I will take one of everything here:
Superhappy colours here:
Check out the grumpy owl. He made me laugh. I think I can relate to him on a few different levels.
More wants needs for the kitchen.

clean as a whistle?!!!! haaa! love it Cheryl!
I was gonna ask you how your cleanse was coming along and was wondering if I should give it a try but when you mention the shakes the bathroom info...makes me second guess it! lol but the you mention the weight loss....hmmmm might be tempting enough!
OF COURSE your prints have made it to those lists!

Firstly, you are the Etsy Treasury queen. So cool!
Secondly, I googled Wild Rose Detox, thinking perhaps this is something I would like to do. (You had me at down 4 lbs. and sugar craving subsided.) But I found this included in a list of acceptable snacks: vegetable salad with apple sauce and sprinkled with cinnamon and garlic powder.
Wha? Is this a Canadian delicacy?

Haaaa! Canadian delicacy - no we save things like cheese curd & gravy on fries for that! That vegetable salad sounds terrible. And stupid.

I'm good with the cheese curd, but I'll keep dipping my fries in Zips tartar sauce. I don't even like gravy on mashed potatoes!
