Preparing the Vessel...

Since I know we're going to be trying to have another baby soon, I think I should probably detoxify the barren wasteland that is my body. I swear, at the moment my body is stuffed with so many preservatives, if I died right now, I would still be rotting in 3,000 years. So, I need to change that. Who has two thumbs and would rather be dust than a museum exhibit in the future? THIS GIRL!

So I had a pumpkin spice latte, a bowl of peanut butter and chip ice cream, and some chili spaghetti to bid adeiu to my digustingly delicious eating habits. Tomorrow, it's time to get this body ready to successfully carry the person that God is creating for our family as we speak. Tomorrow I'm kicking caffeine, refined sugar, fried foods, and whole dairy (the four major food groups). I'm limiting my sodium, upping my water, and starting a new workout plan that will hopefully carry me into, and through a pregnancy. Lord willing.

All of that amounts to what I'm sure is going to be a hellacious weekend. It's going to be a tough weekend of detox, but after that, I should feel so much better. With cool fall air approaching, it's going to be nice to head out for long walks (or jogs) again. I love this season. It may seem to everyone else like things are dying in fall, but having three of my four children in this season, fall has always felt like a time of rebirth to me. I look forward to it all year long.

So wish me luck. Chances are, I will be bitching about wanting something unhealthy by the end of tomorrow. God grant me the strength to do what is best for my future child. My body will be his/her home for 9 months, and (s)he deserves the coziest uterus in the world.
