Master Cleansing

So I haven't let everyone around me know, but I have started the Master Cleanse. I'm not sure if you know what that is but basically it's a fast. You drink a lemon mixture with maple syrup and cayenne pepper for 10 days also going through a sea salt water flush in the mornings.

I'm doing it mostly to clean out my system, being how horrible I eat I wanted to start over on everything. Also losing some weight is just another perk of it as well. I am overweight and love food so this will be difficult for me but I'm determined to get through this. I do need to work on more self control as I have issues with spending money and eating so this will prove to me that I do actually have some will power.

Currently it's near the end of day 2 and I am okay. I'm not starving hungry right now but believe me, I can eat. A juicy steak, fried chicken, mashed potatoes... oh my god I'm just thinking about it now, maybe I'll make an other mixture in a little bit. Oh and by the way Instagram is not a place to go if you're fasting. People posting all of their meals just makes it more difficult.

Project: Vegas 2013

So fun thing that’s coming up that I’m excited for is Las Vegas and this time I will not be going with my gambling addict uncle. I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a big gambler but I am a food lover and I’m planning to eat a lot during this trip and eating things that I just can’t get here in Des Moines. Most of the time when I travel I would yelp the whole location and see what’s up and what I people suggest. I’m really happy that I would have more freedom on this trip and hang out with my cousins! I’ll be heading there the end of February for a few days so hopefully that’s enough time to get the most out of it. I’ve been there several times so it’s not like there’s much that’s new there. Hopefully I can get completed drunk and do Vegas like it should. Anyone got suggestions or tips this time around? Any input is good!

2013 This is the Year to Save to the Extreme

Now that it's a new year, I gotta really get on that saving thing that I've been talking a lot about but not really following up with. If I'm planning on going to Europe in 2014 I really got to get it together and really work harder to get this. The thing though is that I really don't have anyone to go with. I've been discussing this with several people and it doesn't seem like anyone is willing to make this commitment with me or they're already way deep in debt to even consider a big trip like this. I am thinking around the time of Spring 2014 and I'm too scared to take this trip by myself. If I get lost, or overwhelmed with the language barrier I would at least want to do have someone else with me in the same boat. I've been eyeing Contiki Trips that people actually go with these tours by themselves, as much fun as that seems and to have people from the US to possibly go, it's more than I would like to spend on this hopefully traveling on a shoestring that I was originally wanted to do. I want to get lost in town and experience what locals do what I read in books and blogs about surviving out there with very little money. I want to do this real bad. I hope to save up a lot of money at least and try to pull money together with someone to take on this adventure with me.
