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

Hi there.

How are you? Monday. Good weekend for the most part. Had an AWESOME facial on Saturday.. my skin still looks good. I already made another appointment for June. Hung out with Kristy a while.. then went home and hung out… rested.. cleaned a little bit, watched this awesome movie, and just tried to relax. Yesterday Peter dragged me to a show at the Expo Center yesterday morning (I’d rather not say what kind of show or what kind of morning we had. Let’s just say I couldn’t wait till getting to my parents house)  then spend the afternoon at my parentals.. celebrating my dads birthday with our familys favorite mom meal, Meatloaf Beatloaf. YUM. It was the entire family, Peter and Kristines husband Steve was there too.. it was nice to have all of us together. (Only body missing was Pez)  I think Peter and I have hit the threshhold of us spending time together.. we’ve been quite bickery lately with each other. He’s changing his schedule so he works till 10pm on Tuesday-Thursday and I am actually kinda grateful.. it will make our spending time together closer. We both are very independent people.. and it’s kinda nice to BOTH have our own space.  It doesn’t feel good to want to be close and mushy with your love.. when you are being bickery with them.  Boo.

So one of my co-workers here in the office introduced a few of us to the Master Cleanse and well.. I really could use a kick start to eating healthier.. and well.. losing a few lbs in the meantime ain’t so bad either… so we decided to do it for 10 days. Today is Day one.. I know it has it’s own sceptics.. and I ask that if you are one, I lovingly request to support me.. even if it is a different choice than what you would make. Again.. with my philosophy of “What do I REALLY have to lose?” Ten Days? Should… go by relatively quickly. I’ve been doing some research online.. others experieinces.. and well.. I know I can do it. I’m still nervous but I reference a book that a friend gave me years ago.. “FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY.” that’s what I’m doing… I’m doing it anyway.  And AWAY we go!  (For those that don’t know… Basically a Liquid Fast  – drinking a Lemon/Syrup/Cayenne Formula instead of food all day - with a laxative/natural ‘purging’ element to it as well.)

Ok I do have a question for you that has me sincerely intrigued.. and I would love your thoughts on this… I’m not out looking for kudos.. but I’m totally curious..

What is it about ME (Kerilyn Fox) that makes people remember me? I have had some interesting experiences in my life where, after meeting someone once or never but someone sees me from afar,etc… (and me never remembering them) they remember me. Why is that? What is so… memorable about me that they remember me?  I find this so intriguing….. It happened this weekend and I’m just curious.

Peter says it’s cause I’m tall.. and I have big Brown Eyes and a big smile.. (and I do smile at people a lot.. I always catch the cashiers name as I’m taking the receipt at the grocery store and I say with a Big Smile.. “Thanks Judy/Roland/Jamiel!” Maybe that’s why? And that I’m positive. (I have to laugh at this….if you only knew how many times I’m NOT positive.. it sometimes takes some pushing from my inner self to “snap out of it!” and get back to being happy/grateful. I laugh a lot inside about this.)

I also know that I’m an Empath. I’ve tried to deny this but it just is… I have the ability to make others feel what I feel.. Good AND Bad. Trust me.. when Kerilyn is in a bad mood.. WATCH OUT! Everyone can feel it. Same goes when I feel inspired.. I can inspire others. I know this about me… Sometimes it’s not the easiest.. I have a REALLY hard time hiding how I feel.. it’s written ALL over my face.. and in my energy… So you really do get the sense of ‘What you see is what you get”.  As well as…i tend to ‘read’ someone relatively immediately and make a quick and intuitive impression about someone and their nature. I have been wrong on a rare occasion.. (or I might have a STRONG desire to sabotage myself by ’reading’ someone that could validate my lack of self worth – uh don’t make me say their names.) but most of the time.. I’m usually confirmed on my initial impressions. Maybe that’s what it is… that people remember about me? People can sense that i’m wanting to “know’ them.. or ‘read’ them? Does this even make sense?

I’m totally curious.. What is your take?

Will leave you here… Hope you have a great day!
Wish me luck on this Cleanse!!! I know I can do it!!! I can do ANYTHING I put my mind to!!! Yippee!
Much Love,
Kerilyn
