Hi Ya’ll…. (with my most Severe Britney Spears Accent)

How ya’ll doin? I’m doing great! I figured I’d give you a little ditty into where I’ve been since I haven’t been writing much in the past 2 weeks or so.. Ok so I’ve been doing the Master Cleanse.. I’m on Day 8… 8 of 10. It’s been an interesting 8 days so far.. I haven’t really been too chatty.. and definitely haven’t been really social… as this cleanse needs dedicated home time… (TMI.. trust me..let’s just say theres a reason why it’s called a CLEANSE) and I wanted to really focus on going inside.. and listening to the connection I have to my body… This cleanse is not about just NOT eating for 10 days (I get enough calories and fat with this lemonade concoction that I make every day) but the amazing thing is how much I have fooled my self.. and my body into thinking i’m hungry.. when It’s just a CRAVING..

I’ll tell ya.. on Day 8… I can honestly say I am not hungry.. But Dang it.. A big bowl of Guacamole and Fresh Tortillas and Margarita right now sounds SOOOOOO good. That.. is a CRAVING. It’s an addiction of sorts.. And it’s not even real. It’s in my head. So I have been doing this amazing dance with my body.. trying to retrain it.. and retrain myself to listen to it.. when it REALLY is hungry. I can honestly say I probably do not remember the last time I really listened to my bodys needs.. I just listened to what I wanted instead. I need to dedicate more focus toward caring for and listening to my body. On the UP side.. my skin looks awesome… I have a LOT of energy… (but it’s different.. it’s not like HI! I want to get in your face.. kinda energy.. a more.. Internal High Energy) I’ve probably lost a total of 10lbs in the past 8 days but I don’t weigh myself so I don’t know exactly. I can definitely tell my body has changed. As my sister Kristine says.. I have more of an hourglass shape.

I will just say that first and foremost and probably all that matters.. is I’m proud of myself. I’m proud of myself that I did this.. that I stuck through to 8 days…do NOT let me fool you and say.. “meh.. piece of cake” (aww.. cake..) NO. It isn’t and it wasn’t. But I just KNEW I could do it!!!! And I KNOW that I only have (2) days left. .. then a 3 days ease out… so By Sunday.. which happens to be Peters Birthday and Mothers day.. I will be able to celebrate with everyone with a nice SLIVER of birthday cake if I so desire! Part of me wished that I would’ve taken before and after photos of myself.. because the change is that noticable I think… but when I think about it I really don’t think that I would post them for the world to see.. I’m still successfully working toward my goal… of looking HOT in my wedding dress.. with toned arms and blowing everyone (ESPECIALLY MY LOVE!) away when they see me walking down the aisle.

Ok… Hope all is well in your world… as it is in mine!
Much Love,
Kerilyn
