OHHHH by the way.

besides me having the hardest time posting that last post (this computer was being goofy), i went to walmart today to retrieve my items for my "lemonade detox." WARNING, this post will be in-depth and slightly uncomfortable to some...to me, it was just humorous. The ingredients were simple: freshly squeezed lemon juice, organic maple syrup, water, and cayenne pepper...and yes CAYENNE PEPPER. I even got a cute water bottle to put my "LEMONADE" in and a lemon juicer/squeezer. I was more than excited to get home and try it. I don't know what made me believe that this stuff would taste like actual lemonade... maybe the NAME!!!!! NO WAY, NO MAM! NUMBER ONE, the color was that of concentrated urine. I work in a hospital, see this color urine all the time and it does NOT LOOK TEMPTING. NUMBER TWO, the smell was just as unpleasant. NUMBER THREE, it was hot as fire and i do not care for hot stuff. I KNOW, I KNOW, the cayenne pepper... but i didn't think i would really be able to feel my throat ripping with pain as the pepper passed down it. and NUMBER FOUR, the taste was horrible! i put the little cup up to my lips, squinted my nose, and perched my lips in disgust...then took a sip. i withheld from gagging all the while my throat was on fire. NEEDLESS TO SAY, so long lemonade... i didn't even taste the lemons. and hello... GYM. so if anyone wants my recommendations for the famous lemonade detox, DON'T do it...its not for the faint of hearted.

to lemonade or NOT to lemonade...

So I was reading this blog and came across this "master detox" called the lemonade detox. It is where you drink 6-8 glasses of lemonade (a special recipe) for 8-10 days or longer and it is supposed to cleanse/rid your body of toxins, chemicals, negativity, etc. etc... Not to mention, flush you out COMPLETELY... like a metabolic re-boost! It might even help me lose a little bit of weight...that is always nice. I am going to the beach in TWO weeks so just a little toning up would be good. EITHER way, I can't wait to go to the beach. But with good comes bad, so I have been reading about the negatives as well. If i happen to start, i will do it soon, and I will let everyone know of the outcome. HAPPY MONDAY!
