Elise is Going Home on American Idol

According to dialidol.com which is usually accurate Elise is at the very bottom by a large margin.  I hope she's going home I'm really sick of her bad attitude. I know it can't be easy always being in the bottom however, even when she was called to the bottom the first time she showed her attitude.  Whenever someone was sent back to the couch she never offered them a congratulations or a hug being a good sport.  She always had this look like "I'm so irritated and I don't deserve to be here."  She even made a huge mistake by saying the judges pick on her because she's older.  Really?  Maybe it was your singing or your choice of song?  Her voice is good but it's nothing that stands out.  She bored me from the jump.  So it will be interesting to see if she finally gets the boot she deserves tonight on idol.

My Journey on The Master Cleanse Diet

The Master Cleanse diet has been a popular cleanse for years.  While it's meant to be used as a detox aid, many use it to simply lose pounds fast.  I am one of those.......well sort of.  I've been drinking a lot and eating out almost every night.  Recently I've been feeling like crap lately, depressed and little to no energy.  I also gained 30 pounds over a 6 month period which is just not acceptable to me.  So I weighed myself this morning at 153 pounds and realized something had to give.  I decided to do The Master Cleanse so I could jump start my weight loss by detoxifying my body of toxins.  I am also hoping this will help me transition easily into vegan eating  but we will see about that.  For now it's purely to cleanse and lose weight.  So I plan to do this diet for at least 10 days.  If I'm happy with the weight loss I will slowly add raw foods in but if I'm not then I'll continue on it.  I went to the grocery store and bought 10 lemons to start (I'm assuming this will only last me a few days).  I also bought peppermint tea which I googled and it seemed to be allowed.  At night you have to either take a laxative or drink "smooth move" tea.  I plan to do the tea later tonight.  In the morning you must drink 32ounces of water mixed with sea salt.  This will stimulate your ass-plosion so make sure you are by a toilet within an hour after drinking it.  I've heard the "bowel movement" can be uncontrollable so stay home until you're done.  So far today I've been drinking 16 ounces at a time of pure spring water mixed with two tablespoons of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice from fresh lemons and 1/10 tablespoon of cayenne pepper.  So far so good.  There were two moments in the day where I felt like I wanted to grab something solid to eat but I realized it was just a "craving moment" and I wasn't actually hungry.  So it's now 3pm and I haven't had a single thing to eat all day.  I don't feel sluggish or light headed.  I'm worried because I read that day 2 and 3 are the worst and that's when I will probably want to quit the cleanse.  Until tomorrow!!!!!

*****UPDATE

LOL so my time with the master cleanse has ended.  It was a short run but it's almost impossible to stick to.  Instead I went to whole foods and lost 3 pounds in one day eating this:

I make a salad daily of sprouts, tofu, bulgar, smoked salmon, raw mushrooms, onions, peppers and cabbage.  I don't put any dressing on it just a dash of olive oil.  It's really really good.  Even my co-workers were jealous and wanted some.  It's totally filling and under 100 calories for it all!  Then when I get home I make sure to have a sensible dinner and try to keep it low carb.  So far this is working well for me.  I also have started running again during my lunch hour.  I find it hard to work out after work because by that time I'm tired and unmotivated.  I run the same route each day and I time myself with the stopwatch on my phone.  I make sure each time I run that I beat the time it took me from the previous day.  Another great motivator/weight loss tool is to watch the Bodyrock videos.  You can find them on Youtube or at http://www.bodyrock.tv/ the workouts are short but super intense with little resting periods.  Kinda like the Intensity workout but it's free!

Postive Pregnancy Reading after I Miscarried 5 weeks Ago

Please help!  I had a miscarriage via those Misotropol tablets over 5 weeks ago.  I just took a pregnancy test yesterday and it said I was pregnant.  I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow but I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else?  I'm hoping I'm pregnant again and that it's not just remnants from my miscarriage.  I can't imagine that HCG levels would stay in my system for that long but you never know.  My HCG levels were very low as it was when my doctor told me I wouldn't have a viable pregnancy.  I haven't gotten my period but I'm tired and my boobs hurt just like when I found out I was pregnant before.

Alexis Bellino to Appear on General Hospital

As if soap operas weren't cheesy enough, Alexis Bellino is about to up the cheese factor on General Hospital.  Today she announced via her Twitter "Guess what?! I just arrived on set of General Hospital for my 1st cameo appearance! EXCITING! I can't tell details yet but will soon!"

This is nothing close to Nene Leakes recurring role on the hit show Glee but I'm sure the episode will be entertaining.  Bellino is such a dingbat and she seems like it's hard for her to play her own self on a reality show let alone act in another character.  I can't wait to see the appearance so I laugh/cringe on my couch.  Do people still watch General Hospital?  When the clip hits the internet waves I will surely post it on my blog.

Stallone Blames "Real Housewife" for Awful Home Repair

Sylvester Stallone is stating that general contractor Mohamed Hadid is "an incompetent con man" who screwed him out of 1.4 million dollars.  Sylvester said he would have never hired Hadid if Real Housewive of Beverly Hills Lisa Vanderpump hadn't praised his greatness.  Stallone plans on suing Mohamed calling him an "unscrupulous, unlicensed predator."  You have seen Mohamed on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills throwing lavish parties for Vanderpump.  His home is one of the most amazing estates in Beverly Hills.  You also may have seen him this season on the new Shah's of Sunset reality show. It seemed Sammy Youngai one of the stars of the show was acting as his general contractor in upgrading Hadid's home. 

In the lawsuit Stallone claims he was left with "inexpensive, damaged deteriorating and uneven cabinetry and malfunctioning appliances."  He also says he paid Hadid $10,000 for a high quality kitchen island but received a cheap wood plywood product instead.  Lisa Vanderpump fought back by saying that she did introduce the two but that "They're old enough to make their own decisions.

Slade Smiley Threatens Ex

Alexis got a new nose and debuted it on Real Housewives of OC last night.  What did you guys think?  I think it looks great but did you notice her mustache during one of her interviews?  My boyfriend pointed out that she probably couldn't get waxed becuase of the pain under her nose.  I just thought it was kind of funny. 

After watching last night's episode I still can't help but notice how Gretchen has changed.  She started off her first season as the bubbly, down to earth girl from Orange County.  Now she acts like a stuck up diva.  For those that don't see it or can't tell, if you pay attention it's there.  I felt for Tamra regarding her painful divorce.  I am currently going through one which has lasted 8 months so far and I also have a new relationship.  Even though I am happier than I've ever been, I find myself getting very upset when I think about my divorce.  It's a painful thing.  You feel like you've failed and maybe you're throwing away a big part of your life.  I understand how both Tamra and Vicki feel about it and I think they are very brave to be putting that part of their life out their on tv.  I don't think I could do it. 

Slade Smiley is threatening to sue his ex Michelle Arroyo who is also the mother of his son Grayson.  TMZ posted a video of a man attacking Slade and Gretchen while they were making an appearance on a red carpet.  The man accused Slade of being a dead beat dad by not paying child support for the 11 year old.  Slade's attorney says that Slade makes timely support payments in the amount of $775 a month but he's still $95,000 behind.  Slade's attorney also stated "It appears this whole thing was staged and created by Miss Arroyo who is obviously looking for attention."  If Slade is still $95,000 I don't believe he's being defamed.
