Juice Fast – Day 2, 3 & 4

My Food pre-blender

So I’ve been juicing for the last three days. The hardest day was the second day. I was angry, fussy, impatient, and hungry. I felt pretty miserable and started getting a headache by the end of the day. However, when I started my third day I felt rejuvenated. I had energy and Jo mentioned that my skin looked “Different.” I took a and sure enough, it seemed and felt healthier. I’ve lost nearly 10 pounds since I started juicing 3 days ago. Which is probably all water weight, but I’ll take it.

I feel healthier. I’m getting full on juice. I get hungry about ever 2-3 hours, but I just make another juice and I’m fine. Not as cranky and not as tired, but still craving a pepperoni pizza…and a hot dog. You know, the ones from Costco. Out of all the things I thought I would be craving, I didn’t think it be anything from Costco.

Goodbye Cable, Hello Internet!

No TV

Good bye cable

Jo and I decided to cancel our TV cable and depend solely on the internet – coupled with Netflix & Hulu Plus – for our entertainment needs. Truth be told we don’t have the time to watch TV as much as we used to. We also tend to channel surf a lot with cable, but when we decide to watch either Netflix or Hulu Plus, we know exactly what we want to watch and how long it’ll take us.

The one thing I’m probably going to miss the most though is HBO. We’re definitely loosing some shows and networks, but what we’re loosing looks so small in sight of what we’re gaining. I’m sure we’ll be back to cable one day, but for now we’re going to enjoy more time together, read more books, enjoy the extra $130 out pocket, but most importantly we’ll be spending more time with our son.

The Anthony Weiner ‘Scandal’

Anthony Weiner

Anthony Weiner taking the infamous snap shot.

So, David Vitter can sleep with prostitutes and the President of the United States can get a blow job in the oval office, but Mr. Weiner can’t take a snap shot of his schlong to send over twitter without being forced to resign.

US politics are joke, the news networks are a joke, and we’re all a bunch of morons who don’t realize that the joke is on us. There are so many more important things to worry about and I can’t believe how disgustingly stupid the everyone has been obsessed with this story.
