Lemons a natural laxative?
Lemons
Did you know that lemons are a natural laxative? It’s true. :-) I usually drink freshly squeezed lemon juice in the morning and at night. How does it work? The citrus juices helps regulate your digestive system. I use one freshly squeezed lemon in about eight ounces of water. I don’t sweeten it. Perhaps that is one of the reasons I’m so regular? I go about thirty - forty five minutes after eating. Before you plunk money on laxatives why not purchase some lemons and give them a try?
Gunman Kills 30
Gunman Kills 30 on Virginia Tech Campus

Monday, April 16, 2007
A gunman opened fire in a Virginia Tech dorm and then, two hours later, in a classroom across campus Monday, killing at least 30 people in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history, government officials told The Associated Press. The gunman was killed, bringing the death toll to 31.
Students complained that the university did not warn them about the first deadly burst of gunfire until hours later.
“Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions,” said Virginia Tech president Charles Steger. “The university is shocked and indeed horrified.”
It was not immediately clear whether the gunman was shot by police or took his own life. Investigators offered no motive for the attack. The gunman’s name was not immediately released, and it was not known if he was a student.<SFGate>
As if I hadn’t had enough…
I was able to squeeze another intense workout into my extremely busy schedule today. I usually wear Vegan name shirts at my workouts. Today I wore my I love Raw Foods spaghetti t-shirt. I saw it on Cafe Press. I loved it. I bought it!
What exercises did I do today?
Bench Press
Bent Over Row With Kickbacks
Dips
Front Shoulder Press
Choco Chip faces
Last evening I promised my daughter we would make gingerbread chocolate chip cookies today. Okay, so we didn’t make an entire gingerbread man she was happy making faces. I had a hard time finding different things for the nose, eyes, and mouth but guess what? She was happy using raisins for all the above. She’s such an easy girl to please.
I had made the cookie dough (yep it’s vegan) about a month ago. It tastes exactly like your traditional chocolate chip cookies but it doesn’t have eggs, milk, or white sugar (for the sweetener I used agave nectar.) Pretty cool, eh? so the only thing I had to do was pull it out of the freezer and let her work her magic. She’s becoming a big girl. She didn’t want mommy’s help! Sniff! Oh well at least our edible craft kept her occupied for quite a while. I’ll try to take pictures of her handiwork later today.
