Now usually if it’s something care related then it’s me showing it to my brothers, but this morning my Brother the northern pastor sent me a link that made my day. Literally changed my mood completely!

Final Day of the Cleanse:
It’s been a really hard go this time around with the cleanse, so I’m going to review some highlights here, my feelings on day 15, and my accomplishments.
Highlights:
I started the cleanse sick this time. I had a pretty nasty sore throat and really bad congestion. The cayenne pepper really burned going down because of how raw my throat was and it made it really hard to stick to the cleanse in the first few days. I was also quite tired, but I figured that was the cold more than the cleanse. Was better about 4 or 5 days into the cleanse.
Work was quite rude to me while I was on the cleanse. We normally have donuts brought in once every 3 or 4 weeks at work as a thank you from a customer or if someone’s feeling generous. Since I started the cleanse we have had: Donuts brought it 4 times, a Frito-Lay worker drop off a huge box of chips that we could take home, Parts has offered me slurpee’s multiple times, free lunch provided on two Saturdays, and Pamela baked ‘oven s’mores’ which looked delicious. It’s been hard on Morale.
In a positive light I am feeling quite a bit healthier, the jeans are looser, and according to the scale I’m down 21 pounds! It’s a great feeling to be a little closer to ones goal, and now hopefully between swimming, and the amount of Veggies that Pamela and I have started to ad into our diet I can use this as a kickstart towards my goal weight.
Anyway signing off to go squeeze some lemons for my last 6 glasses of the Lemonade!

To buy or not to buy, and what to buy.
So, here I am typing on my Mac desktop with this awesome new software that I received from Macheist. Particularily this MacJournal I’m quite excited about as it will allow me to track my thoughts, and easily blog them when I so desire. ANYWAY this post is about what to purchase.
You see, I’ve been a pretty hardcore Mac fan for a little while now, and I’ve had no end of Joy from my 24Inch Core2Duo Mac. But now I’m married, and so I don’t get sole use of the Mac, and sometimes my lover and I are in a bit of contention about who gets to use it. So we are considering adding a new computer to the house, but what to do! Mac or not?
Well, my thoughts are that it doesn’t make sense for us to have two Mac’s because with our price range of 1500 dollars we’d probably default to doing everything media oriented on the iMac anyway because of it’s screen and more powerful processor. So that means that a macbook would just be a glorified typewriter for us. So I’ve been looking at what a person can get for 1500 dollars in the Windows world. This is what I’ve found, and what were going to be looking at getting in the near future.
The ASUS G51Jx-X1
The Big PRO’S to this computer are an i7 quad core processer, the Nvidia GTS360M Graphics, and the 1920x1080 screen resolution. What does all this mean in laymen terms? It means that it’s got enough grunt to play any video game on the market, enough processor to multi task up the wazoo, and a good enough screen to watch high definition shows on the go. Add to that some neat features like a backlit keyboard, and multi-touch trackpad and I’m having a hard time looking towards the Mac-tops and the 13inch macbook pro that you can get for the same price and... well theres really no comparison.
But what of the Mac. Will I miss ‘mail’ to much, or this new macJournal program? Being able to squeeze my mouse to navigate between windows, or time machine for easy backups. Perhaps most of all I’ll actually have to worry about virus’ and when I get an iphone it just won’t sync quite the same.
Anyway that’s what’s been going through my head in terms of where to spend some $’s these days. Plus this little entry is a great chance to test out macJOURNAL.

The end of the Cleanse.
So, I have one day left of the Cleanse, and i have to say that I am absolutely looking forward to it. I’m totally sick of it! The last few times that I’ve done the cleanse, the end has always been exciting, but I was more excited about all the weight I had lost and how much better I was feeling. This time around it seems to me that I’m more concerned about FOOD again. But probably a good part of that was because I was living with someone who was eating regular food, and had to work whereas before we always timed this with vacations. Long story short, I’m a little concerned that I’m going to have a hard time resisting bingeing on all the foods that I was not able to have these last two weeks.
Anyway 7 more drinks to go, and then a day of orange juice, then veggies, and then... steak on Sunday!
