Well guess what! I finally finished my cleanse/detox! It has helped so much! I am thinking of doing this every year with the results that I have gotten. I know that every time will have different results but it will help me in a long run no matter what I do.
Anyways, I've lost at least 5 inches (mostly around my tummy) around my body and up to 10 lbs lost (I am now down to 165). I feel so skinny (even tho I know that it's not much be it sure has boost my confidences)! I have been looking in the mirror and seeing myself has a different yet same me that I've not seen in a while. Logan has even commented on a lot how I seem more like myself a little. I would recommend everyone doing it at least once a year doing some type of cleanse or detox or both. I have even decided to add in more vegetables and fruit. I think that I may have a gluten-intolerance but I will have to work on that when we get back from Italy. The most funny thing out of this whole this is that I crave salads all the time! Logan thinks this soooo funny!
I will probably doing this again but for 3 days after we get back from Italy.

Day 5 Of Young and Raw Cleanse
So here is how I am doing on this detox.
Day 2: I would have to say that this day was one of the hardest days. I had so many cravings like chicken. It was really weird. A lot of things didn't really tasted very good to me either. I got really grumpy and upset. I didn't like how everyone was cooking all these things that I would eat. It made it ten times harder to be good and follow the cleanse like I am supposed to. Besides getting really annoyed and grumpy, most of the day I felt ok besides the on and off of energy. I wasn't able to finish the last meal...actually I should say that it was time for bed before I could make the last meal.
Day 3: I would have to say that on this day...I was the sickest so far. I felt like throwing up so much, had really bad headaches, and more. I was also sensitive to lights and the sunlight that is coming from the windows. I was able to eat all the meals. I really loved the blueberry hemp smoothies that I had a few hours before dinner. I will probably make that some more after I get with this cleanse.
Day 4:This day was the first day that I really got dressed since I started the cleanse. My pants on kind of lose again. I am happy that it is working out like it supposed to. At the end of the end I had cravings for coconut butter popcorn.
Day 5:I have to say that last night's dinner was gross! I don't think that will ever have that again. besides that it was pretty good. I also did a detoxing bath to help my skin. It's been getting a lot of bumps on my face. I don't think its acne but it something.
I am always fighting to get energy back somehow. Most days it is hard from me to do things just due to the fact that I don't ever really have enough energy to do anything. I have notice that my body is now no longer sleeping more than 8 or 9 hours of sleep which means that I can actually get up by 9:30 instead of the common 11:00-12:00.

Day 1 of Young and Raw Cleanse
Yesterday I started the young and raw cleanse. For me, this is my first time doing something like this...so due to this I feel really sick due to all the toxin releasing in my body.
Anyway, I do have to say that some of the meals are not something I would eat daily...some of them are just plain gross. I can even say that I will never be a vegetarian. But than again there are some surprising recipes that I just love and probably will make it after being on this cleanse. Overall, I can feel the difference that it has done for me. I don't feel as bloated anymore and my skin is starting to to show a difference also.
I am on day 2...and to tell you the truth I really want to quit this. But than I think of the benefits that it will do and than the how much I paid for food! That alone could make me stay on it. Anyways, I think I am going to go take a nap. Have a good day everyone.

Logan's Great News
Logan had gotten great news this last Friday. I can finally talk about it now that all of this family knows about it. ^-^
It all started when Logan started looking around for a job for when he finished his master. Recently he got an interview with INL at NRF. I through he would have a great chance in getting a job but he has yet gotten a call and there has been a lot of people laid off at the site so he also had to fight for the job.
Later he told me that he had a strong impression that he wasn't going to get that job. He felt more like it was a remind how to do an interview and what you should do and what you shouldn't do. It didn't really tell me this until last week. He was afraid that it would stressed me out more. I would have I think in a way but it's part of getting a job.
He recently starting applying again for a job. He sent out a lot of resumes on the 4th. The following Monday, he got a call asking if it would be ok to do a phone interview with him. Logan accepted. The phone interview went so well that they asked him to come in and have a in-person interview that Thursday. He told me about how it went and I got the feeling of "this is going to be his job". It made me happy.
They told him that it would take about a week to get an answer to see if he will be working...the next day he got the job! It was so calming! We now know that we will be living in Idaho Falls for a long time now. We now can also start planning things...which makes life so much easier for us. He will be starting maybe Tuesday. If not than, it will be Thursday. He will be starting as part time until we get back from Italy and he will be switched over to full time.
I am so happy that he finally got himself a job and he will enjoy going to work every day.

Bridal Shower with Baker Family
I went to a bridal shower yesterday. It was kind of weird and great at the same time.
The weird part of it is because I don't really know Kala's family all that much (Daniel's finance) or in fact her. But I did find out that she likes a lot of things that I like. ^-^ It was really hard for me to remember everyone's names. There were a lot of unique names.
We had fun games and everything. I haven't been to many of these for a while. But I was really surprised when I saw one of my good friend's mom walk in. I was stock. I haven't seen her for a few years. It was so good to see her again.
There were also lots of pies there...not so great for someone who is going on a cleanse here in a few days but I decided to have one just because of that reason. There were also chocolate cover strawberries and a veggie dish with pink lemon and water. I mostly eat the strawberries because they were so huge!
In the end it was really fun meeting everyone and playing the games.

Carolyn's Graduation
Yesterday we went to Utah for Carolyn's graduation. It was a lot of fun going there and seeing her talk in the ceremony and visit with family.
The day started with Logan getting up 20 minutes before he had to leave. I was still asleep pretty much for the first 10 minutes after I woke up. Soon after I woke up all the way I notice that Logan had forgotten some thing and left a lot of things that needed to be done. I had gotten them all done and was about to head over to Barbara's until I notice that I still haven't done my make-up. ^-^ So I ran back inside and did it really quick.
I got to Barbara's house at 9. I helped her get the things into the car and make sure the house was locked up. Afterwards we headed to Pocatello to pickup Logan after his class and than head towards Utah. We talked a lot on the way there. Logan also got a very good surprise...but I will leave that for another post.
We got there in time to go eat lunch at subway but it was so packed full that we decided to pretty much wait until dinner besides Logan. He had to eat something due to the fact that he skipped breakfast. So we went back to the college and Logan grabbed some snack bars that were sold there. We than headed for Temple Square. I was happy that we had came back to it. I sure missed it's beauty. Anyways, the graduation ceremony was being held in the old tabernacle building. I have never been in there but it was still just as breathe taking as another building on or by Temple Square.
Right before it started, Logan went our in front of the building to wait for everyone else that was coming while Barbara and I was both saving a spot for everyone. Soon after that, Barbara talked about how is was so excited about how Carolyn was speaking. I was so surprised! I didn't know. Than Logan came back and I told him and he said he knew too! It was on the invited...I was so embarrassed. Right before it started we was able to find Joseph and his family but not Logan's grandparents and aunt. The ceremony was very touching to me...I felt the spirit really well in there. When Carolyn got in there to give her talk I notice that she didn't have her speech on paper but instead she was speaking without it! I so surprised! Later I found out that she was reading off you speech from the broadcast screen. When I look at it it looks like it was just used so the lights didn't get in the people's face. I guess I was wrong. ^-^ After the ceremony, we was able to find Logan's grandparents. They were sitting on the other side of the building.
We finished at the building with some family pictures with Carolyn than off to Denny's. I was surprised that they had changed their menu a lot. There was actually a lot of choices that I could actually pick without worry. After dinner, Logan and I went and saw his grandparents for a while and than headed home.
The funniest and scariest thing about this whole trip is that Logan got us lost on the way home!! Instead of taking the road that heads towards Malad and Pokey, he took the Boise route...he didn't notice until I started panicking because I didn't remember any of the names that we was passing. But we did get home safely about 1 o'clock in the morning. ^-^
More post to come soon. ^-^

Raw Food Cleanse
I have decided to do a raw food cleanse for a few reasons. 1) it could help my health in mutliplied areas, 2) be nice to actually do one considering that I have never done one in my life you and I guess you are supposed to be doing one (full-body cleanse) every six months 3) we are putting on hold having a family due to the fact that my health is getting worst in a way and 4) my sister is going to do it with me.
Anyways, so basically I will be juicing for the first week of the cleanse (21 days). The next two weeks I will be doing juicing and raw foods. It is really important to get organic while doing this because the food itself doesn't have any chemicals on themselves. We are hoping to start this next week on Monday due to the fact that it a three week process and in four weeks I will be sitting in a lot of air ports, trying to get to Italy. My sister also wanted to do it before she goes on a business trip to Nevada. So we shared the cost of getting the documents that we needed and are doing our study on them. I hoping that I will post how it goes afterwards and maybe some pictures but I can't promise anything really...I don't like taking pictures of myself at the moment. I also hope this will help with some of the weight loss too. I would be nice to actually get thin and fit again and stay that way.

Another Death in the Family
There was another death in the family. I was so shocking to hear. More because I didn't think that he would pass plus he wasn't that old. But I guess things happen for a reason.
My (mom's) uncle died on Monday soon after going into a coma. Hours later after he went into a coma, he had a heart attack. He was just 68 years old. Most of the people in my mom's side of the family live every long lives...I guess Uncle Ralph wasn't supposed to. I always looked forward to seeing him and aunt Dorothy during the holidays. I love how they would always tease me and talk to me as if I matter a great deal. I helped out with the funeral a little bit. I put together some poems for Shantell for Ralph and Dorothy. Yes, I know that there is a spelling error but it's fine. Here are the pictures:
His funeral service was done by Wood's Funeral Home. I know the family a little bit and I am sure happy that my aunt decided to do it with them. Anyways, the services lasted two days. The viewing itself was the night before he was buried on Friday. The following morning, Saturday morning, we had the funeral services at the Wood's Funeral Homes on Elm St. It was pretty full. There were a lot of people standing in the back of the chapel. It was also pretty funny too. After the services, we found them up to Ririe-Shelton Cemetery where Great Grandpa and Grandma was buried. The Military Rites was performed by the Bonneville County Veterans Team.
I cried really hard in silence while we was at the burial site for him. I know that I will always miss him but now he is with Great Grandpa and Grandma along with Vera (my great aunt). I know he is happy now.
And to top it all, the day Uncle Ralph got buried was my Mom's birthday. I've never seen her cried so hard during a funeral service besides Great Grandma.
