I’ve been enjoying the BBC America show Survivors. It’s a really great show, such a commentary on how important community is for us and how people may react to the idea of the end of the world. It’s also just a really great drama. Last night I watched the documentary Food Inc.  Watching that made me think the only way to fix things in this world is either have a global pandemic wiping out 90% of the world’s population or a zombie invasion.

Upon logging in to my Dish Network account to sign up again for automatic bill pay, I discovered that I have Comcast Sports Net. That means I can now watch ALL the Blackhawk games! I’m so excited! But also, I get 3 free months of HBO and Showtime too. Now if only I had a lot of free time to watch all of this stuff.

I recently discovered that my Chucks were crushing my toes because I had the laces pulled too tight. Now that I’ve loosened them, they feel so much better. I feel pretty stupid now.

In other news, I’m going to attempt to do a detoxifying cleanse. I’ve never done one before and I found one that allows you to eat food while you’re on the cleanse so you will never be hungry. I think I’ll be OK with it. You make green juice out of whatever green vegetables you want (they recommend kale, celery, cucumber, wheat grass and sprouts) and drink that all day. In addition to the juice you’re allowed to eat raw vegetables.  No processed foods, no refined sugar, no animal flesh, no grains. It sounds like I can have fruit, which I’m excited about cuz I love fruit. As many know my views of fruit is it’s like eating fun. Fruit is a tasty piece of excitement in your mouth. I don’t know how anyone could not like fruit. The only fruit I don’t care for is grapefruit. It’s just too sour, never liked the stuff. Is coconut a fruit? I don’t care for the texture of coconut. But all other fruits, I love them.  And for those who know my insanity of being a picky eater, I feel safe with this cleanse since they want you to eat raw vegetables. The variety of raw vegetables I like is a much longer list than that of the cooked veg that I will eat. When I learned you could eat salad without salad dressing I was amazed at how salad was actually good. Yeah, I wouldn’t touch any salad dressing when I was a kid. It all looked really gross to me.  I think the one thing I’ll miss the most during the next two weeks is peanut butter. Oh how I LOVE peanut butter. And lately I’ve taken to baking bread. Although, the latest loaf taught me that you can’t rush bread and you really should start baking early in the morning. You need to give it time to rise, you can’t jump forward to the next step if you don’t let it rise. The bread still tasted good, it is just pretty dense.

If you want to follow along with the cleanse experience you can read about it over on the Finding Thin blog. Starting Monday is the “pre-cleanse” and then the following week is the actual cleanse.  Yeah, two weeks without my beloved PB&J…how will I survive? And yeah, no soda either! I’ve finished the last of it that was in the house, so.. it’s only water now. Maybe some herbal tea if I’m really craving something. So please, join me over at the Finding Thin blog and follow along.
