I have been back in the states for exactly one week now, and what a weeks it's been. Along with enjoying my time at The Tea Room, which is really just a reality TV show waiting to happen, I've been able to experience some of the comforts that aren't necessarily found elsewhere in the world; air conditioning, garbage disposals, washers AND dryers, free internet, and a couple of other things. However being home does have one downfall...I'm underage again.
I have had quite a bit of fun though, I never realized just how great Boston is in the summertime. Typically I get a taste of fall, a hint of spring, and six frigid months of winter. However this time I have the next two weeks to do anything and everything I could possibly want. Lately I've just wandered around the streets taking in the sights I've overlooked for the past year, while stopping every once in a while at some eatery a friend works at so I can sample the daily specials at deeply reduced prices...as long as the boss isn't around.
Two days ago, after finishing up a lovely brunch on Mass. Ave, I watched a couple struggling to get a mattress into the back of a UHAUL. I couldn't pass up a chance to help out my fellow man, and since I hadn't seen the inside of a gym in 2 months I offered them a hand. 2 Tons and 9 hours later, Jen and Alisha were all moved into their new home in Watertown, about 15 minutes outside the city, and we had a nice dinner at the Halfway Cafe. Finding a free meal doesn't seem to be a problem anymore, however I've decided to take that a step further and implement the 10-day fast that I've been meaning to do.
Introducing, THE MASTER CLEANSER (aka The Lemonade Diet). This 10 day intensive cleanse allows only the consumption of freshly squeezed organic lemons, grade B maple syrup, crushed organic cayenne pepper, and spring water. These ingredients are combined into a lemonade of sorts, and sipped on for 10 days straight. The health benefits are enormous and include weight loss, increased energy, relief from headaches and sinus problems, your skin clears up, and your body basically repairs and heals itself back to tip-tip shape.
This is only day one, but I'm pretty confident I'll make if the whole ten days, not to mention the 3 days where you slowly begin to introduce solid foods back into your system. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it's going, but I really recommend googling "Master Cleanser" and reading up on it...pretty facinating.
Until next time,
-Josh
