so after having this on my 43things list for over a year, I have taken my first actual step to making this happen. I began the record search for my great grandfather’s naturalization papers on NYC’s vital records site & I requested a copy of his marriage certificate. The list of documents I need is very long, so I would like to at least begin collecting some of the easier documents. I still have to get some dates cleared up (need to ask family). I really want to get this so I can have the opportunity to live in Europe hassle-free. I lived in Italy for about a year and a half for grad school & had to deal with all the stresses of the immigration process which was not fun!

ahhh so last day is here. I feel like today was kind of a waste, I made the SWF but started gagging on it & even vomited a little, so I only wound up drinking maybe 6 ounces. Of course, it had no effect on me & since I ran out of senna tea the other day, I had no eliminations at all today. I finished my maple syrup today which is a shame b/c I am feeling hungry & would totally make some more lemonade to drink if I had more syrup in the house. Overall, ready to wrap it up & enjoy my OJ & soup tomorrow. I admit I am feeling a little bored of this cleanse…my first time around I was SO excited & would literally jump out of bed to get started on the SWF. Maybe it’s b/c this time around I know what to expect? Anyways, it’s my belief that cleansing is never a wasteful experience though, so I will surely be back at another point. Happy cleansing to all those still in the process!

The past 2 days have gone much better. I was able to finish my paper for tomorrow- my last paper I ever have to write for grad school! I just found out I ran out of senna tea, so I won’t be doing a lax tea tonight. I was using a package I already had & apparently there was only 8 bags in there. Too late to go get some now. Hopefully the SWF tomorrow will help clean whatever leftover junk is inside. I feel like I really haven’t lost a lot of weight at all this time around- maybe 5 lbs. I looked thru my old entries from my last cleanse & my weight loss was around 9 lbs at this point..wierd. I am feeling more hungry today & am thinking about all the things I would like to eat when I’m done…I know, I know everything in moderation. Sadly I am constantly having to combat breakouts & this time around I haven’t seen any improvement in my skin at all.
