A Lot Like Laney: DAY ONE

DAY ONE

Posted by A Lot Like Laney at 5:03 PM |

Well apparently this particular cleanse starts with a 32oz drink of water with 2 teaspoons of salt (That was the original size of the first 7-11 big gulp!) At first though you do not think that this would be too bad, 2 teaspoons is hardly anything. Well I am here to tell you imagine yourself on the edge of a pacific coastal beach, put your toes in the water, it looks alright, now bend over and start sucking up the water in gulps, 120 to be exact (as I was told by a fellow cleanser). YUM YUM. Okay this will be the worst of it and thank goodness I am only doing that 3 of the 10 days of my journey. Now the fun begins! You know in monopoly when you get the go straight to jail, pass go and do not collect $200.00, oh and skip a turn too. This is my definition of the Salt water Big Gulp, 7-11 style. You do not leave your home, you better stay put for the next 45-60 min(THIS WOULD BE THE JAIL TIME AND MISSING A TURN), because this drink totally avoids the bladder all together and gives you the thrill by going straight to the colon. Now the good stuff,I get to drink fresh squeezed lemon juice from lemon a lemon tree I picked from up the street and add real maple syrup and Cayenne. That is the basic elements of the Cleanse. So now that you have that, I am glad to announce I survived day One. I only had a craving for potato chips; I knew that this was inevitable because that is usually the one craving I usually great. The best part was within minutes of my craving weakness Ryan walks in with a bag of chips from his lunch. Well so much for removing any weak moment foods from your pantry.

A Lot About Me

I

Me; an individual; a committee of one.

Pledge

Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.

Allegiance

My love and my devotion.

To the Flag

Our standard;Old Glory; a symbol of Freedom; wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job.

of the United

That means that we have all come together.

States

Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that is love for country.

And to the Republic

Republic -- a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.

For which it stands

One Nation

One Nation -- meaning, so blessed by God.

Indivisible

Incapable of being divided.

With Liberty

Which is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own life, without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation.

And Justice

The principle, or quality, of dealing fairly with others.

For All

For All -- which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine. And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance:

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: Under God. Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from schools, too?
