Boo-sicle, Explained

1. Frozen Boo Bella = "a juice flavored girl-human with cream-colored skin not on a stick."

   
   

   I'm on day 5 of my juicing Reboot and am still cold.  But I'm hanging in there and doing okay.  I can feel the hunger creeping in, but so far I can handle it just fine.  As for the cold, that's a little tougher for me to deal with right now.

   
   

   Seems as the day wears on, the colder I get, so I have to be a little creative with the balancing act between turning the thermostat a degree higher, curling up under the blanket further, and trying not to cringe every time I need to get up to use the bathroom (which is a lot now that I'm doing this whole juicing thing).

   
   

   I think it's time to break out a thicker blanket, because spontaneously generating internal heat isn't one of my spidey powers.

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   

   
   

   Feeling cold doesn't really have any benefits that I can see, but at least I can rationalize that it's a direct effect of calorie restriction.  Okay.  I can certainly live with that.  Now don't get me wrong, the restriction is limited only so far, because the amount of produce it takes to yield what I will drink in a day to sustain myself is mind-blowing, to say the least.  So no worries.  I'm not, and will not be, starving myself at any point.

   
   

   The moody blues kind of sucks ass, however.  Sorry for the gritty language, but it's true.  I know this 'blah' feeling is temporary and normal as my body adjusts and purges and detoxifies and so on, but it sucks just the same.  Getting into this poor state of health didn't happen overnight, and it's not going to be undone overnight either, so I simply have to suck it up and ride it out.  This is the price for imbibing in foods that were beaten to death and stripped of their real value until they were no longer, well, food.  My bad!

   
   

   Blah.
   
   
   

   

   House business:  Things are coming along, moving along, etc.  Mortgage business is tedious business, but we're ready for it to be done already. Closing is set to be on or around January 27th, so it's not too far away.  Just dotting i's and crossing t's now, and a lot of faxing back and forth.  One last bit of paperwork and we think that's it, then we wait for the clock to tick its way till closing.  Well, there's also the inspection this weekend.  So much to do.
   
   The photo shows the view from the back deck, and it makes the house look far more secluded than it actually is.  The slight slope you see is an actual slope just beyond and part of the professionally landscaped yard.  But then there's a SHARP drop just after that...that you do NOT want to step off of, trust me. lol  When you're standing there you can tell exactly where you can and cannot walk, much like a house on a cliff ... you know where not to walk. ;)  But this house is actually just a couple of miles from a main highway, and at the end of the street (dead ends on the other side) there is a main road that leads to that highway that runs from Wetumpka to Montgomery (AL) etc.
   
   The drive is private with only a few houses, so it's not busy or overgrown, and it's very 'woodsy,' which is quite nice.  I love the quiet, peaceful feel.  Hopefully it's as quiet and peaceful as it seems.  We are looking forward to being out of Montgomery.  It's just too busy there.
   
   Well, I'm feeling cold and a little worn, so I'm signing off to drink my afternoon juice and crawl under a blanket in hopes to shake this chill!
   
   Till next time!
