A Non-Poop Inducing Cleanse

Last night while sitting at the dinner table sitting in front of a funny smelling salad, Derrick and I had to laugh. What are we doing? Why would we do any kind of cleanse for any amount of time? We're stupid. That's the only conclusion we could come to.
Sure the idea of less bloating and losing weight sounds good to everyone. I'm not sure there are two people who love food and snack more than the two of us. I'm beginning to think that the real reason I got into this was to show me my love of food and my dependence on it. It's become a part of my everyday routine. When I get accomplished what I had set aside for that day during nap time, I end nap time with sitting on the couch alongside of a bag of chips, cookies, or bummel cheese (what Ryse calls Cheese Puffs) and pop or coffee. Or if I'm just having a no good rotten day- I take the whole nap time and dedicate it to food.
I hope you can hear the laughter in my voice, the me making fun of myself. I'm not confessing any sins (or should I be?) or anything like that here...it's all fun.
I really do joke about my love for food a lot. I talk about food a lot. I think about food a lot. I have a great appreciation for good wings, pizza, chips, cookies, chocolates, double cheeseburgers, and I'm the most excited when I reach my hand into my McDonald's bag and the fries are so hot it hurts your fingers and they are so salty it burns any cold sore instantly.
Because of this dang cleanse, I've realized my jokes are rooted in truth. I love food. Do I feel guilty about it? Nope. I don't think I'm a gluten or anything.
I am enjoying this cleanse simply for the reason that it is different, and it's 3 days of being extreme for me. This is not who I am. Apples aren't me. Healthy shakes? I laughed at people spending money on these. Salads? As a good friend says "salads are the promise that the real food is coming." I couldn't agree more. But it's been fun, kinda. It's been challenging (sitting at McDonalds with mom and the girls, eating not one bite). And it's been rewarding. I really do feel good, and I've lost about 3lbs in a day and a half and Derricks about 2lbs a head of me (of course). Halfway done!
Anyway...I just thought it was funny and it was on my mind when I opened my blog to catch up reading, so I thought I'd share. If you're interested in a cleanse, this is the one I'd recommend. I don't think I've pooped once since I started (sorry, TMI) but who wants to poop for a solid week? Not me. The shakes aren't horrible. And it's only 3 days, who wants to diet or anything for longer than that? Me either. It's not $200 like some I saw and it seems to be working. Check, check, check.
Results to come when it's finished. And seriously- if this sounds riciculous to you, lets clink our double cheeseburgers for a cheers. And if you're interested, I'll give you  my 'suppliers' name- she rocks and this stuff is so good for you.

I realize at times like this how weird I am. I'm so contradicting. 

It's called fat, dumb, and happy. Happy is good.
