Character Class and what i thought was going to be the start of something GREAT!!!!

Sunday character class didn't go as smoothly as Saturday. Part of the problem was because i had just come from 6 hours of teaching and i was dead tired. But all in all the kids had a good time with the games and activities. 

MOM IS COMING TO KUNMING!!!!! on october 14th. So that day i get to teach 7.5 hours and then rush out to the airport to pick her up.....IT IS GOING TO BE A FUN DAY!!!! The biggest difference with having her here as opposed to my father is that we can actually eat Chinese food. We will do probably most of the same sight seeing stuff except i plan on taking her to the stone forest. But i am really excited to spend her money on EXTRAVAGANT meals. and i hope i get my passport back by then.

Day 1 of the Digestive Flush = I am not going to last the 5 days....

So the night before i went out an bought some fruit for the morning fruit shake....Oranges...apples.....you know.....FRUIT! So that night before i ate tons of food to a point where i wanted to get so full that i didn't have to think about it on the first day. It didn't help. I wake up and drink my water with lime and lemon juice and then proceed to peel the fruit to put in the blender.....Now i am expecting it to taste a little bit like fruit juice.....NOPE!!! It was bland and not good. And this was the fruit which made me really scared to try the vegetables. So i finish the fruit shake and didn't gag. Then i started to get hungry about 4 hours later so i proceed to start making the vegetable one. Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Zucchini, some kind of green leaf, carrots..It only took an hour to peel and blend everything....I open the top of the blender and it smells like grass....but the kicker is that it tasted worse.  After the first gulp, i almost puked, but by the time i got to my last drink on the second 16oz glass....i had adapted to the bad taste and it wasn't feeling like puking....The hardest part of the whole day is that you don't really feel starving...you just feel a little hungry....THE ENTIRE DAY!!!!

Day 2 = I think i can, i think i can, i think i can......but i probably won't

So after looking through some cleanse articles..ONE said that i could add maple syrup to the morning shake....SO I DID!!!!! and i also only added half the oranges and went more with more apples. IT TASTED SO MUCH BETTER!!!!! Now, i didn't add a ton of syrup. I think it was just a squeeze. The night time shake was tons better that day 1. I did all the same except i added peanuts and lemon juice. Peanuts because i figure Protein and i don't know if the vegetables are really adding anything to that. I am thinking one more day and i will be throughly cleansed.
