Let the fast begin!

Never have I ever been more un-excited, un-thrilled (yes, these are made up words) and unfilled (this last one is real - and true). For the 3rd time this year I will go "down under" not in the Kangaroo, great barrier reef, and outback way. I will take a glorious Propofol induced siesta as my Gastroentrologist tries to "get to the bottom of things"...literally. Colonoscopy here I come! Wu-hoooooo

Let me count the ways in which I am enjoying my fast...oh wait, zero. It is only 10 am and despite eating left over gluten free pancakes at 11pm - I am starving. I have 30 hours to go until I can scarf down anything that does not go through a straw. A popsicle is not solid food - STOP the lies! Jello doesn't count when you have to eat the green flavor! Ok, ok deep breaths. 

Top Ten Prep Steps:
1. Do NOT watch Food Network
2. Do not go to the grocery store
3.Lay on couch and pretend not to think about food
4.Drink gatorade and veggie broth, and BULLSHIT popsicles
5. Avoid the kitchen like the plague
6.Crochet - except I crochet miniature food, last night I was working on a doughnut, scratch that plan.
7.Forbid the use, by all family members, of the downstairs bathroom
8.Stock said bathroom with various entertainment: ipod loaded with Enya, magazines, a nice candle
9.Avoid Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - food porn is rampent and no good for your fragile state
10.When you are done, start over at #1

Congrats Kate!!! - you have survived hour 1 of 30. Just keep swimming...
