July 15, 2011 Day 40

Well, I've been VERY busy with building my grandmother's home theater…or the Audio Video project. It's not really a home theater. But I've been going over there just about every day this week to talk to the A/V installers and the builders. We've paid for the equipment and now we're just seeing when everyone can get together on this. I think it's going to be awesome. And it should be, I've put a lot of work into it. I know God has blessed this project because the equipment was going to go over budget. I talked to the Home Theater Store and they sent back an offer that was just under my budget. I couldn't believe it. I mean that was really the hand of God on this. I just felt it.

Also, I finished my Master Cleanse diet and I'm so happy…I can eat about. I really feel like it's a lot easier than it sounds. I mean even I balked when I thought about not eating for 10 days and only drinking a lemonade concoction they suggested. But I did it anyway and it's really worth it. So if you're on the fence as to do it or not, go ahead. I lost 10.5 pounds of weight. My body fat went from 20.5% to 14.5% which even though I'm sure there is some error in these measurements, I did lose a lot of weight fast. Also, I lost almost two inches off my waist and my gut. This morning when I started eating again, I started with juice and by this evening I had some chicken noodle soup and then for the bad part, I had some chips and cheese dip. I know that's a bit much for a first day off of this diet, but it's been ok.

Tomorrow I'm pretty much going to take things easy and I'm going to keep my diet simple. I'm going to cook some homemade soup and just sort of nibble on that all day.

I'm going to link a few videos, so you can see what my last day and conclusion of the Master Cleanse diet are, as well as the A/V system I'm building. I think this A/V system is really going to be cool. I can't wait to watch some Pink Floyd on it.
