Sorry I've been sans blog for so long. It has been an incredibly topsy turvy late summer for me. Lots of changes in my life. Mostly good. I'm experiencing many things new but haven't quite learned to let go of the old. That's incredibly difficult for me. However, read on as you shall see how I plan to deal with such dilemmas....

OK, as I've concluded that there is something chronically adverse going on in my ileocaeccal region (overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria based on symptoms), I'm bound and determined to go through the Master Cleanse. I think I'm ready now. Today I was not so ready. I was incredibly hungry and tired today after a long wedding weekend back in Iowa for a childhood friend. Now that the party is over, I'm ready to get serious.

As a disclaimer, please realize I have no "weight" to lose per se. I am at my ideal body weight or perhaps no more than five pounds over this. However, I feel both a physical and a spiritual need to cleanse. We shall see how this goes. Any words of encouragement are welcomed here. I will be checking in more often to report my progress. I will also be checking into the forum whenever possible.

Wish me luck!!

PS-I have created a myspace page so anyone in the BTD realm who is already a member is welcome to look me up and add me as a friend. There is a special celebrity with me in the default photo that I'm certain many of you have grown to know and love over the years. He and I are both proud owners of big black labs.
