Time is NOW.

Master Cleanse Day 7-9: Almost There!

Well i made it through the toughest parts of the cleanse now and am feeling GREAT.  My energy level is back and stronger than its been in ages, so mission accomplished! The last 3 days have been pretty chill, at this point i don't get hungry much, and if i do i just pound some water. I haven't been able to stop thinking of all the meals i wanna eat next week though. So many delicious options and so little time! I think I'm going to start with a veggie diet for at least a week or so, and salads sound awesome. Definitely no ranch dressing though after all the effort ive been through  ;)

Some people say it's kinda tough to workout on the cleanse, but i did throughout the 9 days. It wasn't easy days 2-5 but i just went at my own pace, and walked/jogged 5 miles. By day 6 i was doing bikram's yoga and by 8 i was jogging continuously on the 5 mile trek. However i did drink extra maple syrup in my lemonade for more nutrients.

One food i have              been dying to try is Kogi Korean BBQ. They have a restaurant here in LA, but the main reason the

y have become so popular is their Korean BBQ Taco truck. Yes, that's right. Korean BBQ tacos! By strictly using Twitter to announce where the Taco Truck will be on the daily, they are the latest craze in Los Angeles. People flock from all over town to wait in line for these delish treats. I mean, Kimchee Quesadillas are making me salivate right now...

The Lakers just won Game 1 of the Finals, decisively at that! I loved what i saw it was rad to see the boys play that vicious DEFENSE that is gonna bring home a championship, if they keep it up at least. I gotta say it bugs me when some Laker fans celebrate early. Growing up playing baseball, i was always very superstitious and that makes me cringe. So yeah, i don't wanna hear about the damn parade anymore! At least not til we win 3 more games! =P   

Game 2 on Sunday @ 6pm PST. All i know is tha Magic are digging a pretty deep hole to come out of....

Master Cleanse Day #6 - Hungry Again?

So it's Day 6 of the cleanse and i feel pretty darn good. Getting past the halfway point is very challenging, but also very rewarding. I literally had a coworker tell me that my skin looked great, awwwwww thanks Noxema! =P

I dunno why but this morning i had hunger in the tummy. It isn't fazing me one bit but it keeps rumbling, which i thought was strange? Either way, at this point i have grown to enjoy the process, keeping in mind that the struggle now will help how i fee later, and you KNOW i got my eye on Friday and Day 10!

Tonight is the Focus 6 Year Anniversary with Miguel Migs and Lisa Shaw! If you have never been, Focus is the longest running House club in OC and is always a great time on any Tuesday night. 6 years is quite the accomplishment so big ups to the FOCUS familia on many many more! They also have tons of mixes on their site, so check it out! www.focus-oc.com


Finished up today on the mellow tip, went for a hike around the Silverlake Reservoir, a nice lil 5 mile trek. It's actually a pretty dope place to go running/walking/hiking and they even have a dog park where people bring their pups and let them run wild with like 40 other dogs. It's pretty cool to watch, dawg... Anyhow looking forward to Day 7 tomorrow and hoping that my energy rush kicks in hard soon!

Master Cleanse Weekend Update: Days 4 & 5

So this weekend was another fun one here in Los Angeles, and yes, I had a great time while on the cleanse. Dotbleep on Friday Night was a sick party with the return of Justin Long and Shady Tvo, both rockin it hard! I kinds felt this surreal feeling all night, as if i was on happy drugs or something. I couldn't help but laugh at the stupidest things and had myself rolling. (The Master Cleanse is a helluva drug!) So ya by 3am i was done and had to rest up for the Beach party Saturday.



I woke up on Saturday morning pretty used to the drill already and ready for the beach. Sure, the food that was downstairs smelled delicious, but i had no temptations to eat it, and did not hear the breakfast burrito "talking to me" as they usually do ;) Around 1pm i headed out to Will Rogers State Beach and got there around 2:30pm. Right away the place was poppin! If you have never been to a SHADE party before, they throw the sickest day gatherings! Approximately once a month they put something together either at a beach, park, etc. and its dope! I saw tons of new faces and all of them were having a blast under the sun(on and off- stoopid june gloom!)

Anyhow i brought my lemon-maple concoction in a couple water bottles and made it through without a hitch. Every now and then a ciggy looks tempting, but its never a craving rather a bad habit of having something in my hand and smoking it. After the beach i went home, relaxed, and hit up the Jay Tripwire party that All Ours Ent. put on. I was only there for a couple hours but Jay was killin it! I had never seen him play before and i was very impressed.



Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! So I was talking to my folks and started discussing where we should have lunch, until i realized i couldn't! hahahahaha! It wasn't even a hungry urge either, more like i enjoy spending time with people i love over a nice meal. So Sunday was chill, i went for a 5 mile walk and it didn't fase me one bit. Safe to say i was now in the zone and ridding my body of them nasty toxins! I no longer had headaches from nicotine use, or fatigue. Got my eye on the prize!
I also read up on the cleanse and saw that Cayenne works better based on the more you use, so you KNOW i spiced up my drinks!

Lakers vs. Magic on Thursday. Man i love this time of year!!!!

Master Cleanse Day 3: It's Gettin Betta All The Tiiiiiime...

Betta, betta, betttttttaaaaaaaa! 

Well, at least that is what i've been trying to believe. I remember Day 3 as being the toughest one, you're already deep into the cleanse, no looking back, yet you still have hunger in the tummy and the lemonade is getting old. God forbid you start a deep thought process about how a week from today, Day #3, you will STILL be on the cleanse! You gotta stay positive and keep your eye on the goal, sucka!

One thing i do to make things a bit more exciting, is tinker with the measurements. B

artender style. Yeah, i like to drink, so this makes it fun. Sometimes i'll make a drink with more juice than syrup, or vice-versa. (WOW!) If i'm feelin really rambunctious, i might even take a s

hot of lemon juice to the head piece, or even a spicy one with mad cayenne pepper.... PARTY TIME! So ya you gotta have fun with it.

So Tonight is Game 6 of the Laker Game @ Nuggets. I hope they can match the defensive energy they had in the 4th quarter of Game 5, cuz they were hittin it! We just need one more win to face the Cavs, or i mean, winner of the East, hehehhe.

Also check out the new HAWTCAST if y0u haven't done so yet! It featured FRANKIE J. of The Sound Republic and its dope!

Master Cleanse Day 2: WTF Was I Thinking????

So, it's Day 2 and i wake up hungry as shit. I start imagining in my head what i should eat........but wait,  that's not an option, oh yeah! Only 9 more days to go  ;)

I go str

aight for the lemonade and chug a giant glass, immediately feeling better. I was 

overall pretty energized throughout the day, except for 2 or 3 little lulls at work where i just had to sit back for a bit. Otherwise it was smooth. Plus it was sooooo inspiring finding out that Beyonce lives by the

 Master 

Cleanse having done it before. Heheheheh

Watched a

 bit of the basketball game at home, and the Cavs won. Of course they did, duhhhh! Does anyone else feel that they are s

till gonna pull their head out and m

ake the Finals? You just know they are, and Nike, the NBA and every other commercial on TV makes sure you never forget that! Lakers vs Cavaliers.

SO anyhow that's that for Day 2.  Starting to build some momentu

m I think...

The Master Cleanse Day 1: Getting Ready For Summer

by Mikey Velazquez

So the summer is just around the corner. You can feel it, taste it. It's your favorite time of year, and you wanna be on top of your game when it comes around. You wanna feel great, have thunderous energy, look great, eat right, and be in control of your life in every aspect possible. If this is you, you should consider doing the Master Cleanse.

I have done the Master Cleanse 2 times before. Some will say you're nuts for doing it, some love it, its really just a matter of preference.

http://themastercleanse.org/

Why do I do it? First, I love a tough mental challenge. I am and always have been an athletic person, at times hardcore, but lately just doing enough to feel good as its part of who i am. As i have hit the dirty thirty mark last summer, i have realized how much tougher it is to lose weight. I am currently 205 and tend to plateau at the 200 lbs mark, but i am used to being 185-190 at my best. So, this gets me over the hump.

Is it easy to pull off? Not really. It is different for everyone, but for most it can be an emotional rollercoaster of hunger and doubting, cravings, lack of sleep and mood swings. I am doing it "to a T" so i am going to stop smoking everything as well. (wish me luck!)

Anyhow this is day one so i will keep you posted on my days ahead here. So check back in for updates and feel free to ask me any questions you might have on here or to mikey@hawtmusic.com

Getcho cleanse on!
