Good Morning Everyone!!!!
Well today is day 13! You know what, I think I’m going to stop counting my days.  Today is day 5 for the people doing the cleanse with Brandy Jo, and everyone is feeling great.  More energy and things moving ~ it’s amazing how these cleanses work for people, it seems like it effects everybody differently and I really enjoy hearing the stories from all of her clients, and I can totally relate to some of the stories.  It motivates me to continue to do well.
Funny story this morning ~ here it is.  There is a movie debuting tonight!!!!! Contraband!!!!!!  I want to see it really bad and I told Brandy Jo that, and of course, she said lets go tonight and watch the movie and I was so excited.  I still am excited, but then I was thinking “damn you can’t watch a movie without eating the popcorn and having the drink its just part of the movie process.”  It put me in a bit of a conundrum: my first thought was “I have been doing so well, and I deserve this, I can eat popcorn and it will be alright” but as I thought about it, I started feeling guilty, and came to the conclusion that I can go to the movie and NOT have the big popcorn and big drink.  I can just go there and enjoy the movie.  The movie is the treat not the popcorn or the drink.  I have to be honest ~ it sounded wonderful! Popcorn and a movie with my hot wife, what a great night! But I need to stay true to myself and honestly, even though people may not be reading this I would hate to have to write about not making it to my 27 days without cheating.  I’m better then that.  I have been through a lot harder things in my life this should be easy.
Sometime around Christmas time I was thinking (seems like I do that alot these days) but I was thinking that I found myself in some crazy places in my life and I’m probably lucky to be alive and still have all of my body parts.  I have a lot of friends that aren’t here anymore, but I am.  I was spared for whatever reason.  Well with all that being said it dawned on me, I was spared because I’m suppose to be doing something extraordinary in my life.  So right after Christmas I told myself that I need to live extraordinary not ordinary.  I need to make the most out of every minute that God has given me.  Since the 1st when I started this journey I, like everyone else, came up with challenges and I am using this challenge to grow as a person.  Some of my friends that aren’t here anymore, have no options, but if they were here and were given the opportunity to make the right decision, they would definitely make the right choice now, knowing the alternative, this is a no brainer!! They would do whatever they had to do to be alive today.  So its that simple, I’m here today to make the right decisions because I have been given that opportunity to do so. For whatever reason, I’m still here to do something wonderful, even extraordinary. Wow those are some deep thoughts for 10 in the morning.
I just want to say hi and mention some of the people that have been motivating me through my journey.  Kathryn and Ryan, you two ROCK, they have been doing a juice fast which is way more intense then what I’m doing but they are pretty awesome for doing so. This is their second go around with the juice fast. They are a dedicated couple! Anyone who would take their juicer to Vegas has got to be somewhat committed to doing well, or at least trying haha.  Jennifer, Viki, Scott, Jean, Jody, Karen, Lisa, (these are just some of the people following)  I would like to thank for your support you all make me feel accountable for my actions.  It’s like I don’t want to let anyone down, even though I know that you wouldn’t be upset with me I have that personal feeling.  The last person I would like to thank for following this is Joshua, I actually got a text from him last night and it made my evening, so thank you Mr Joshua Hesse.  We look forward to seeing everyone soon! Hey, and remember you can always come out to Sunny California to visit.  We have to hang out next time we are in Missouri!!!!
