So here we are in Hamilton, OH. The last 2 days have felt soooooooooo long because we started our detox/diet yesterday. This includes drinking warm lemon water in the morning along with a wheat based organic breakfast cereal (which Rob actually likes). The lemon water is for a detox purpose I don't remember. We also take an acidophilus pill in the morning, which is an probiotic. This is a "good bacteria" pill that displaces bad bacteria and toxins in the body. We went out and bought tons of fruits and veggies (mostly green, because chlorophyll is part of the detox process), wheat breads and crackers, cheese yogurt milk and cottage cheese (dairy is part of the diet as well, with proteins) and some organic based lunchmeats and chicken strips. Also some organic honey, lots of water, and some nuts. In the evening we take a 20 minute bath in epsom salts to aid the detox process and expel more toxins, and take a fish/flax oil supplement for the detox. We are also trying to eat 5-6 very small meals to get the metabolism rolling constantly, along with drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. So far, we have discovered that we are both exhausted, which I read is a sign that toxins are leaving the body. Hopefully that means in the next few days we will feel very energetic. Also, its hard to get full when you are used to eating unhealthy food, because healthy food doesn't fill you the same way junk food does. Pizza and Pepsi sound really good right now, but we are holding strong! Kaje actually made a really good honey (organic) glazed chicken last night, and Rob made some fresh cooked green beans to go with. We'll see how the next few days go.

Last night we fell asleep at 10PM!!!!!!!! Which worked because we were up at 6 and at the farm at 7. The farm should be interesting- already we are having some issues sharing equipment and getting what we need as soon as we need it, its just a long process and lots of phone calls. Hopefully once the peppers get in the ground it should go smoothly. And hopefully it won't rain the next 5 days like the weather channel says it will.

Kaje wants to plant strawberries on our porch.

Pictures should be up shortly of our lovely apartment. Thank you thank you thank you again Mom and Dad Holthouse for ALL your help with the moving and the supplies.
