Free at last.....

ARTIST vs MASTER is FINALLY over for Spring 2009.

Sunday....I love Sunday! At least this Sunday ;-)

Today was target, oj and soup day!

Today was a good day. The first taste of soup was delicious!!!!! Even OJ was amazing. Something other than spicy lemonade was a very nice change.

Tomorrow we get to eat salad... Elephant Bar here we come!!!!!!!

Thank you for joining me on the ARTIST vs. MASTER cleanse journey. If you decide to embark on the challenge yourself I wish you the best of luck and cheers!

Many alonys kisses.

P.s. I noticed I thinned out!!!! And I have been on a super organizing roll.... Mission accomplished! ;-) Pass the goose!

Artist vs Master KO.....Day 5

THE LAST DAY!!!!!!!

OMG, it's FINALLY here!!!!

It's 753pm and Fingazz and I are soooooooo restless. It's Saturday night we want to hang in the world. Drink eat date...awe!

Looks like its a "LIFE" night..... the game of Life that is.....I haven't played this game forever!!!!! And I whooped ass...made over 2 million, married, no children! It was great.

Several times we debated quitting but said fck that! Dinner conversation over the last of the ade consisted of what restaurants and foods we couldn't wait to eat!!!! We quickly decided that a salad at Elephant bar was a MUST as soon as possible. The food there is pretty light and after mc friendly. The drinks are good too...baby steps alonys... ;-)

------------------------------------

Over all I am happy I did the cleanse. I must have been smokin' somethin' to think I was ready for 10 days!!!!! Once again baby steps.

A few more of our friends are planning to embark on the journey within the next few weeks/months. I wish them all the luck.

Well good night, because the sooner I go to sleep, the sooner I get to drink OJ....one step closer.

Until another moment in time....alonys mc kisses.

Party mc style.....Day 4

(if it seems sporadic todays entry is a collection of thoughts throughout my day recorded in my iphone......)



It's Friday,

Only one more day!!!!!!

Today was good. Looking forward to tomorrow being my last day of my turn with the master. Yes, it has been decided a 5 day cleanse it will be. 10 got the quick veto. It's all we can take and when I say we I mean Fingazz and I. He actually was the deciding factor. He said I'm only doing 5 days and that's all I had to hear, because god knows I would not be able to do it alone. Waaaaaaaaay too much temptation.

Overall it hasn't been what I anticipated, but I do feel good. I don't feel I lost weight, but a friend of mine made a comment " damn alonys you are going to blow away", but I think they were just being polite ;-) I will take polite ;-).

--------------------

On my last bottle.....It's 9:12pm. About to go to the studio and record new pod with Dianonique! Hoping for the best. It's the first time recording sober...

I have been bad and have not resisted the puff puff pass though. Oh well.....Nothing I can do now. I hope in Sept./Oct. I have a lot more discipline ;)

----------------------------------------
It's 412am Fingazz and I wish we could eat jack in the box bad!!!!!!!!Gross!!!! lol! Oh well and thank god we can't go!!!

The podcast came out tight I think.... we recorded all the audio and just have to place the music and drops.....nailpolish. I successfully recorded without a drop of alcohol. Hopefully we are not too mellow...but it is the first pod so it may be best to ease the listeners in... ;-)

-------------------------------------
me and mc inside the studio......

Chillin' in Diamond Cut Productionz with Fingazz and Monique. Sleep will be good I think. I am tired. But wish more that we could finish it, but I will be going home soon. It is 420 in the morning!!!!!!!

nite
morning
Until another moment in time.....A. the artist.

P.s. Welcome last day!!!!

over the hump.....Day 3

It's no longer 'hump day' aka wednesday, but it is 'hump day' for me!!!!

Oh I am soooooo happy that I am not feigning for food anymore. I'm workin' in Lab77 and just 2 doors down the grub fest is about to go down....aka the family dinner. I just prepared my second bottle of lemonade. Its chilllin' in the fridge. I feel great. I got a lot done today. I am feeling very motivated and focused. This is why I wanted to do the cleanse...I see the light =)

Thoughts of all the yummy things I am missing has been to a minimum...thank the universe!!! But don't get it fcked up...I can't wait to have my first meal of the non-liquid form.

I have decided to do the dynamic duo of chocolate tea and salt water in the morning...see if it makes a difference....

Fingazz has been in LA all day at a studio. I hope his day is going good. I hope he hasn't been tortured with take-out food aromas and alcoholic beverages. I know when I am in a new place all I want is a drink....where da' bar at?!!!

I am just relieved to be on my second bottle at 8 instead of at 10:30, like last night. I was able to finish the second half much faster...3 hours... but I did cheat a lil bit....ooops. (Totally munchie motivated, but that's a good thing...lol). Hey I was going crazy I needed something!!!! But today has for sure been a cheat free day, mostly for the simple fact that I am dry. I woke up more focused and satisfied, so I think that helped too.

What do I miss more, food, alcohol, or herbs? mmmmmmm....

Thats a tough one. Gotta think about that one a lil.

Damn...just walked in the house....it smells soooo good. Mind over matter!!!!

I feel like the cleanse has made me a lil anti-social. I feel bad because my mom is here and I love eating, drinking, and relaxing with my mom. Especially a glass of wine, or a gin and tonic. I am more of a vodka girl though. =) Grey Goose gets your girl loose baby!!! But no one has been drinking around me which has def. helped.

I have received some encouragement from my friend Danni in Jersey and my friend DJ Hi-Note on my Facebook. It means a lot too. Thank you guys!!! kisses.

Well I'm gonna have my drink while they have their eats....

Until another moment in time... many alonys mc kisses.

a little bit longer....Day 2

Day 2.....

The sea salt water was a lil' easier to drink this morning....just a little. I usually try to imagine drinking a classic grey goose martini, but that old trick is not effective anymore...lol. But boy does that sound good!!!! Washed it down with a re-run episode of Project Runway. I love Christian Siriano...He's Major! At least that's what Victoria Beckham called him. I agree =) Some people just got "it".

Note to self, when thinking about vodka, drink lemonade. When stomach growls, drink lemonade....

One thing that is different today, is that I am consuming at a slower speed. I have yet to finish my first bottle and its already after 8!!! I need to drink drink up!!!

I have yet to "cheat" but its on my mind fa sho!!!!! Puff puff pass anyone.... =(

Was slightly tortured by my mothers' cooking....she's in town....maaaan it smelt soooo bomb! She did feel bad and has been encouraging me to quit since she got in town yesterday...lol.

I am no quitter! =) But I am asking myself every moment :
Can I really do this for 10???!!!!
Why was it sooo easy last time even though I had to do more work to prepare it?????
Why am I being such a puss????

Snap out of it alonys... ;-)

It is definitely a mental game with the cleanse.

gulp gulp gulp......

okay almost done...round 2...

Until another moment in time....MC alonys kisses.

mind over matter..... Day 1

All I can think about is food. While wii-ing to get my mind off of food I thought about macaroni and cheese, stuffing and chili dogs! I don't even eat chili dogs!!! So much for that method. And what a combination!!! lol.

So far today has been pretty hard. I know its all in my head. Its all in my mind and the cravings are not real. I just keep telling myself that.

During my day I cruised the tv guide and came upon 'the real housewives ny' marathon. I'm talking the last season and this season!!!! Maybe that's why I have been so fckin' hungry. All the dinners, restaurants, and drinks. The drinks haven't tempted me....surprisingly. Let's just say the marathon has helped me like this group of women a little more....Life seems so different in ny. My favorite is bethenny!!!

Brownies......sorry, I got sidetracked ;)

I have to have a 420 bbq...listen to me...already planning feasts...lol.
6 months strong no beef...BUT I must say I have been thinking about a good steak...But I can say I don't miss it enough to eat it again soon.

---------------------

my morning started with the sea salt cleanse....arrggg..I remember this being a lot easier. Not so much. Hopefully tomorrow will be easier to chug down.

Lemonade, lemonade, lemonade......I will say that we have noticed something different in the taste of the already 'mixed' cleanse. Also I feel like my 'daily ration' didn't last as long. I may have to drink an extra glass.

I cheated a lil and participated in a few sessions...but tomorrow, honest no cheats.

Overall still happy I have decided to cleanse.

Next time I do it though, I am definitely doing it the 'real' way. Mixin' it myself.

Until tomorrow chocolate SMT cheers.....kisses.

cup a tea......@ 133

It's officially begun!

I've finished my first cup of chocolate SMT. The cleanse begins.....

until tomorrow....

p.s. the chocolate SMT is waaaaay better than the OG SMT....the only chocolate I will be 'enjoying' for many days.

Kisses.

Fruit does a body good...

I woke up to the smell of eggs....mmmmm. No tasty for me though :(

Its the last day of 'solid food'. Fruit, veggies and water ALL DAY. Tonight I will drink the SMT. I have never tried the chocolate SMT (it was all they had at Henry's). I am hoping it tastes good. Anything chocolate tastes good, right? The original SMT soooo not my favorite.

I am excited to do the cleanse, but I am definitely getting the feeling it may be harder this time. My original goal is to do 10 days, but a recent birthday 'girls night out' invitation may cut me back 3 days....I am a sucka for a party!

Originally a few more friends were planning to cleanse also. But it is seeming the group is getting smaller and smaller and confirmed is myself, Fingazz, and newbie Jeff.

Until tomorrow.....

alonys kisses.
