Ok here goes, as all of you know i am overweight, and my hubby is possibly coming home sooner than expected! eeeeeeeek! So i am getting serious now...
Ok so i feel to fully reep the benifits of any diet you have to detox first. So you start off with a clean system, inside and out. So, to start my diet i have chosen to detox with the Lemonade Detox Diet. It is a book written by Stanley Burroughs, called the Master Cleanse. (ok i have not read the book, i do not recommend doing this without the advice of a medical professional, blah blah blah)
This is kind of a science expirement, im a bored army wife and my husband is deployed, i have the time for this.
Ok so the recipe is:
2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice NOT BOTTLED JUICE!! (approx. 1/2 lemon),
2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) organic Grade B maple syrup, (i couldnt find grade b so i used a)
1/10 Teaspoon or more cayenne pepper (hot red pepper),
1 Cup (8 fluid ounces) purified or spring water, NOT fluoridated water.
So the deal with this diet is you are supposed to drink this 10x a day, along with a salt water "flush" in the morning and a herbal detox tea in the evening before bed.
for 10 days...not so bad right? we are about to find out!
I decided to wait until Monday to start this diet just because i had just gone grocery shopping and i didnt want to waste all the fresh food i got. So all the cooking i will be doing will be one serving meals for my son, for the next 10 days, i think i can do this...pray for me!
Most people recommend taking before and after shots and posting them, but hell no! Never! ha ha ha ha ah. so here is the journey i am taking to a new me.
Sunday December 14th, 2008:
The night before, tonight i went out and bought a nice water bottle to hold my mixture in so i can take it with me wherever i go this week. I will not be doing the salt water flush in the morning simply because i know it gives you the runs and i have to take a friend to an out of town appt. ya that would be bad. 12:09am: going to bed now, i stayed up all night playing the sims2 ha ha ha i love it! Goodnight World!
Monday December 15th, 2008 7:08am:
Ok so i made the stuff, looks like a drink you might find in Mexico, smells like it too. I havnt tried it as i just brushed my teeth and ya lemonade first thing after teeth brushing is about as gross and you can get. Im leaving now so wish me luck! Wow the stuff was so good, i could most def get into this.
So i was thinking, and in order not to get sick all teh websites i visited advised going to the detox diet, then slowly weening yourself back on solid foods, well as we all know Christmas is 10 days away, that would mean either no Xmas dinner, or i would be very sick that day if i did eat. I think i may have timed this wrong, so what i am going to do is postpone the detox diet until after new years, it can be my resolution!
Awwww

UPDATE ON MY LIFE AS OF 3/10/2008
hmmm ok so lets see what has happened so far.
Well 2 days ago i fell and sprang my ankle, it really hurt at the time but is alright now. it was gross though.
It was late prolly around 9pm, I was on my way to the shoppette to get baby wipes, a light bulb, some pens, and some Ibuprofen. Frankie wanted to go so I took him along. We were outside my building and we decided to race to the car. I was going to take a shortcut through the grass so I can win right, well I darted off into the grass and my foot hit part of the edge of the cement and folded into the crevice between the stairs and the grassy area. I heard a loud pop, ugh I wanted to barf, still do when I think about it. Anyways so Frankie starts yelling "ahh ha ha momma you fell", dude it was a Saturday night and everyone was out on their balcony’s and this lil brat just "put me on blast". lmao i guess it was funny despite me crying hysterically, damn it hurt. So i crawled up to the intercom and pushed my button, Frank answered all annoyed that i even existed at the moment im sure, and I start balling asking him to come help me. Took us about 10 mins to climb my 6 flights of stairs. Man that sucked. I woulda posted pics but it didn’t look bad enough to take pics lol. i don’t want to look like a wuss.
Ok then their is Franks head pains. We are not sure what is going on with him but he has had this issue for about 5 years. Up until now they were just random sharp pains in the back of his head. But now they are actually affecting his life. He has a hard time finishing PT, as every time he strains he gets that pressurized sharp pain in the back of his brain. Even bending down causes him pain. This worries me because as most of you know he is deploying very soon and i know when he os over there he needs to concentrate on what he is doing not his head pains. So after failing his PT test today, which doesn’t happen very often, he told his Sgt about it. They agreed to let him go to the sick hall tomorrow. so we will see what happens about that.
Now to Frankie. He is growing like a weed, becoming more and more witty by the day. The things he comes up with are hilarious. This morning we were laying on the couch together and he farted and i said almost at the same time, man im hungry, he said well why don you eat my fart? Dude he looked serious.
So today he is a solider cowboy. he is walking around with a gun stuffed in the pocket of his army pants, pretending he is wearing cowboy boots.
He put new batteries in an old remote we have, and you should have seen how excited he was that he "fixed" the remote.
Well that is my life so far, im sure more has happened but my Sims are calling me so i must run now ;)
I will come back later and post more...bye!

Thankful
Ok so i was going to blog today about how much in my life has gone wrong...then i was flipping through the TV and i found a movie just starting! Whoo Hoo lucky me, i will actually get to watch a whole movie!
The movie was "The Pursuit of Happiness". For any of you who have seen this movie I am sure you will agree with me when i say that this is an incredibly hard movie to watch. The character Chris goes through so much, for his family and ultimately for his son!
This movie has led me to the conclusion that my life is perfect compared to the way this characters life was, compared to so many homeless families out there in the real world. So many times we, or i rather, take things for granted: my home, my finances, my food, my clothes, my shower, my son, my husband, my family, my God, My life!
So instead of dwelling on the bad, my views, however temporary they may be, have changed. I am thankful for everything i have, from the Prego jar im holding my pens in, to the car i drive, and everything in-between.
I thank God that i am blessed with a family that loves and supports me, whenever i need it.
I thank God for a husband who is the best, whose heart beats next to mine, who has the patience to deal with my personality, and who at the end of a really bitchy premenstrual day...still loves me.
I thank God for my son, who forgives me when i lose my temper, who forgives me when i play plant tycoon all day long and don’t play with him, who thinks im just great, and LOVES me for who i am, his momma.
I thank God for all the friends ive had, who have listened to me and gave me advice i actually can use.
I thank God for my best friends forever who love my big ole booty, play bingo with me, and encourage my karaoke singing, ya they must really love me.
I thank God for My brother, who is hilarious yet serious, who taught me so many naughty things and gave me my first tattoo.
I thank God for my sister, who endured me being mean to her when she wanted to just be around me, who showed me how a baby is born, who never judges me when its really my idea to eat a whole box of banana twins and drink a sixer of coke, who lets me open everything first because she got to open the Selena CD or was it a tape?
I thank God for my momma who showed me how to be a wife and a mother, who made me get up and cook for my husband, who frowned on me when i purposely left the ring on his bologna sandwiches, who loved me when i was bad, who i secretly just want to hold me when im sad, or sick, or lonely.
THANK YOU GOD FOR MY LIFE!

Who i am?????
Hiee!!! To all who read this let me just give a lil description of my life and who i am, rather was.
I am now a 25 year old mother of a sweet lil boy named Frankie. I live in Baumholder, Germany with my husband. We have been together for 7 years, married 3. I am an army wife. We are stationed here in Germany for another 2 years. I am a housewife, no other job than that, ya not that i need one! I stay home all day and cook and clean for my family. I'm always on call. I'm a stepford wife! (i have the apron to prove it, lol in white and pink!) I have no other family here, i left everyone when i moved, friends, a good job, my family, my mommy. Thank God for web cam!
Ok now for who i was!
I was a 24 year old mother of one. I lived in Sierra Vista, Az. I had a great Job working for a non profit children's establishment. I loved everyone, almost everyone at my job. Sure i was missing half of my heart, he was waiting here in Germany for us, but i knew who i was. I was KT, poonta, Bingo player, angelface, a sunday school teacher. I mattered! My job was important. I had people counting on me. I had a lot of people who loved me. I had stuff to do. Always. I always had company, went to Walmart, visited Mother-in-law, got lottsa kisses from my nieces and nephews, and i had a life.
Ok im not complaining...yet.

Crows
Ok so i have been in Germany for 7 months, 17 days and 9.5 hours. I have met some interesting people, seen some interesting things and smelled some interesting (interesting is my nice word for effing sick) smells. When it rains here in the little town of Baumholder, it smells like sausage. On a hot summer day a stroll through the town will have YOU smelling like sausage, not sure why since i haven't found a sausage factory...hmm...maybe they stuff sausage in their homes huh? i know the Kitchen Aid stand mixer has got to have an attachment for that.
Well among the other oddities of living here are the crows.
At first i thought they were ducks, flying over my housing area heading south for the winter, how sweet right? i actually get to hear tons of excited little ducks flying south. They were flying frequently starting at 5am stopping at 9 starting at 6pm stoping at 11, (i have no life lol so i time them). I thought it was a little tooo hard to believe that the ducks were still flying south for winter (this started in Sept.) after all our winter is pretty much over. Thats when i decided to get up early and take pictures of them. Much to my surprise they weren't ducks at all, but crows. They were perched on top of building 8827, my building. No other building was being infested, so we were pretty much the only people being bothered by the crows wake up call. It is really eerie and creepy to see them swarm overhead, they circle the building then perching on the top, singin their creepy music for all of the residents of building 8827 to hear...weird!
