Today I begin the Master Cleanse!

[Brooks]

Day 4.

I'm still not hungry. Really. Yesterday, I went and saw There Will Be Blood, and during that 3 hour stretch, my stomach rumbled for the first time. Maybe I'm used to snacking on bullshit when I watch movies, and my body said "where's my damn MilkDuds??"

I'm going to break this thing today though. Not for any true willpower issues, but simply because it's my Brother's birthday on Thursday, and we're all going out to dinner, and I don't want to be "that guy" who is "too whatever" to refuse to take part. That's the reason I refuse to label myself a vegetarian, though I typically don't eat meat. Holier than thou is not part of the holy man's reasoning.

But it's been quite an experience, and I shall attempt it again in the spring, most likely. I've felt great this entire time, and haven't had any sort of negative physical or emotional responses. I've had plenty of energy, and have been very productive without always wondering what or where I'm going to eat next. Energy comes from using energy and tapping into the source, not from food.

That said, I'm gonna make some homemade lentil soup tonight with some garlic french bread. Ease my stomach (and bowels) into the world of you miserable food-eaters!

You're kinda sounding like "too whatever" there.

oh derek, its just american new-age-organic-health-nut silliness. keep smoking and drinking whiskey, you'll be fine. donning of kilts and frequent exclamations of, "Cunt!" woulndt hurt either

I don't smoke, but I just about manage to punish my body in every other way possible. Also, I got "what" was going on, I just don't get "why".

Plus, I'd say cunt loads more if I didn't think you were all so offended by it.

 

[neal]

i think cunt is in the top 3 greatest words ever.

I approve of these posts.

 

[derek]

Nope. Tolkien was a hack. Give or take.

My personal list would be:

1-Cunt
2-Gravy
3-Gravycunt

 

[Chromatose]

Cunt gravy

 

[derek]

I consider it a flexible world.

 

[Jeff-Loomis-fan]

1. Graf
2. Hoer
3. Grafhoer

translated:

1. Grave
2. Whore
3. Gravewhore
...but they sound better in dutch

 

[derek]

That's not much different from cunt and gravy. I'm seeing trends in the words men like...

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

I fasted for a week once, but I wouldn't call it a master cleanse seeing as a I substituted a pack of cigarettes a day for food. Between that week and the 2 or so months where I ate sparsely I lost around 60 pounds.

 

[Jeff-Loomis-fan]

i probable die when i do such crap

im underweight allready, and i quit smoking...

 

[azal]

top.

I'm alcohol detoxing since Tuesday. Plan on doing it for a whole month. Playing a gig straight is gonna be weird.

I've had one and a half cigs though, don't know why, just kind of saw them lying around and lit them up and then realized what I was doing and put them out.

I'm doing this because I run 5 days a week like 5-6 miles and I feel like I'm working out for nothing when I have 7 beers afterwards.

I also plan on trying the mighty brooks cleansing/fast for the last 3-4 days, but I imagine that there is no way I should exercise during that time, or do you think it would be ok?

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

hmm... signed up at the Y i know that once i start working out again i'll cut down on smoking ... dunno how much else i could stick to as far as changing eating habits or anything, though

 

[Liverslapper]

Good luck azal. I also have been alcoholic free for 5 days now, and smoke free for almost a month.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

Good for you, Azal

I haven't had any alcohol since June 27th, and I'm planning to keep it that way until Heathen Crusade

Unless Samantha wants me drunk at her wedding shower tomorrow or at the reception.
