AKA I’m am a C-WORD super star. I was doing so well, too. Until about 3:00 in the afternoon when I fell asleep on the porch and realized that going on a C-WORD was probably the stupidest idea since, well, the last time I went on a C-WORD. I think being a V-WORD is enough. And something I can actually accomplish. And I need my coffee. Boy did I miss my coffee. And I can’t believe I spent $50 on “C-WORD worthy” groceries. Grrrrrr almonds are so expensive! Oh well, that will teach me.

Today I ate 3 apples, carrots, beans, a salad, two V-WORDdogs (how do you spell V-WORDdog???), tomatoes, a banana, scrambled eggs, crackers and peanut butter, and herbal tea. I bet I’m forgetting something… I ate a considerable amount of food today. But I can certainly deal with that.

Oh yeah… and I had a McFlurrey at McDicks. I hope there’s no meat protein in that. I wouldn’t be surprised if they used the hooves of pigs or horses. Damn it! I hope I didn’t lose already. No. I didn’t. I’m allowed milk and eggs, and that’s what ice cream is. Well, sans eggs. I can cut out McDonald’s if you’d like me to. It would be hard, but I can do it.

Hugs and ponies.

I got a $4.00 haircut this weekend. Oh, and I’m doing that 30 day V-WORD thing. The Wild Rose D-Tox C-WORD is a way for me to take it up a notch - and you know me, I like things extreme. Thanks for voting!

So here I go. Thirty days. I can do it. I will do it! The C-WORD is going to make the first twelve days hell though. Sitting on the toilet all day. Barfy. I might not be able to do that. Especially since I’m addicted to coffee, and I’m not allowed to drink coffee on the C-WORD. Not that coffee has anything to do with going to the washroom. Hmmmmm. Anyway. I have one of those cool French press mugs and I drink a pot every day. Mmmm fair trade organic coffee of dreams.

Actually now that I think about the, the C-WORD is very restrictive. Basically, the only thing I will be able to eat is vegetables and almonds. I hope I don’t die. Gosh darn it, I already want some coffee and I haven’t even started the C-WORD yet. Maybe this will be good for me.

Steve Pavilna wrote a blog post about the power of 30 days. Apparently it’s a really good thing, and I’m excited. Realistically the only thing I am going to miss is sushi… but I shouldn’t be spending $10 a day on sushi anyway considering I’m leaving on my adventures in less than three months. Did I say my adventures? I meant our adventures. Yeah.

So I’ll report back tomorrow… see how fancy the union of V-WORDism, laxatives, and herbal supplements is. Oh by the by, sorry about all the ads. If they really irritate you, please let me know. But I thought having a little extra spending money would be cool while I’m gone, and I assure you that every penny I make is going towards the trip.

Whether it be health or environmental, I’m pretty sure there must be benefits to being a V-WORDtarian or an extreme V-WORD. I eat terribly, and forcing myself to change my ways might help me change this… unless I end up living on shredded wheat like I currently do. Oh wait, no milk. I guess I wouldn’t be able to eat cereal anymore. Or McDonalds. Or ice cream. Or pizza. Or Starbucks.

Anyway. I’ll let you decide. Would it make since to try to be a V-WORDtarian while I travel, or do you think I would get sick? I’ll leave this poll up for a while.

If you’ve been following my blog, you may know I am currently on the wild-rose detox cleanse. It entails taking special pills and eating foods off of two lists. For the first 3 or 4 days the cleanse was pretty intense. I ate super healthy stir fries every night, lots of vegetables, brown rice, and almonds. Then I looked at the list and saw “popcorn” listed as a food I can eat in endless quantity, and “butter” as something I can eat in small quantities. Damn that list!

I am a popcorn slut. For the last 5 days I have eaten popcorn everyday. Yesterday I was particularly bad and had popcorn for all three meals. Ha ha, I am disgusting. It’s basically all I ate the entire day, except for a pear and two apples. How can this be considered considered cleansing. *sigh*

I’ve found it surprisingly easy to cut out bread from my diet. The only thing I really miss is diet coke and chocolate. No cravings for hamburgers, friends, onion rings, or other desserts – which is pretty cool. Anyway, blah blah blah.

I’m going to let you decide the next dietary restrictions I impose on myself. Any suggestions?
