Joe Citizen's World

Where to begin….

Recently my world changed. The things I had been doing for a long period of time changed. Essentially I get to make a fresh start, so where do I begin? Many moons ago, I was an adventurous person. There was hardly a dare I wouldn’t take, or a challenge I wouldn’t attempt. I *lived* on the beach. I dove daily. I interacted with people. I had fun.

Along the way, something changed. Call it life, responsibility, whatever. Life became stale and boring. The same thing everyday. I got into a rut, and made moves out of “stability”, rather than because they were the right moves. I lost *me*. What fun is life, when you live for *security* and money?

I’m at a point in my life where I can regain what I lost. Some call it a midlife crisis, but it’s really not. I’m not going to act irresponsibly, purchase fancy cars or become the ultimate gigalo. Those things *never* appealed to me. Adventure appealed to me. Hiking, diving, flying, etc.

So my plan is to get back into *adventure* shape. Due to injuries, I’ve been unable to exercise regularly, and really just let myself go. I’m 5’7″, and weigh a whopping 190 lbs. That is *way* too heavy. I need to drop about 40 lbs. My first challenge is to clean out my body of all the poisons I’ve stuck into it over the last 20 years. I’m going to launch with “The Master Cleanse”. It’s supposed to be a 10 day fast, but I’ve seen people go 40 days…so that is my goal. 40 days..starting *now*. I already made my trip to Trader Joe’s and got my lemons, and grade B syrup, and cayanne pepper, and mixed up my first batch of stuff. I thought it would be worse than it is, but it really doesn’t taste too bad. I leave the lemon pulp in it.

I guess I’ll be doing the herbal laxative, and salt water flush, but we will see what we will see. I plan to do some videos of my progress, and put them on youtube, then link them to here.

We’ll see…I use to have a steel trap mind, and once I set my sights on something I just did it. As I got older I lost that. Giving up on things when they got hard. My goal is to not make this one of them.
