Master Cleanse: Day 3 & 4 Recap

August 19, 2011

Well, so far I have made it to day 5. Last night, I will admit, there were tears. Yes, I actually cried and it was over food. I just want to chew something! Even the healthiest of things sounds soooo delicious right now. Like carrots sticks and celery. Or oatmeal with peacans. And this receipe for Creamy Avacodo Pasta sounds lifechanging.

I am nervous for this weekend. Without the distraction of a 9 hour workday, I am going to have to keep myself VERY busy and FAR AWAY from food to survive the next 2 days. I imagine those two days will be the hardest. And then the final 3 I imagine will go quickly since I will be back at work.

I have been doing alot of thinking about my eating choices once I am done with this. I have been doing WW and it works pretty well for me. But I wonder if it's the healthiest choice. I was a vegetarian for 2 years and just this past Janaury went back to eating meat because I found myself resorting to too many carbs.  Anyone have good experiences with "alternative" eating plans? Vegetarian? Vegan? Raw? Other?

I'd love to hear any suggestions/feedback you might be able to offer.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Leaving For Nebraska

July 1, 2011

I weighed in today:

Last weigh in: 151.7

Today's weigh in: 150.4

Loss: -1.3

Leaving for Nebraska tomorrow and weight goal was 149.9.....is it possible???

Possibly...yesterday was a huge company event and in the early part of the day I was working on cutting some foam board for these displays I was making. I'll spare you the gruesome details but I'll tell you this:

Exacto knife+my thumb/nail=trip to Urgent care and 5 stitches.

It hurts like a beezy and the Doc put me on an antibiotic and vicodin-both of which are making me sick to my stomach. To help with the nausea I have been trying to eat some crackers and that may hinder my weight loss goal for tomorrow. That and the fact that I probably won't run tonight since the increased circulation would make my thumb throb more than I could probably stand. With that said, even if I don't make it into the 140's by tomorrow. I came damn close and am very happy with how I did trying to reach my goal.

I will be heading to Nebraska in the morning and hope everyone enjoys the holiday!

Time for a Change?

June 2, 2011

I am a bit nervous about weigh-in tomorrow. I've been counting my points all week, but after last week's massive (and undocumented) weight-loss, I seem to have hit a bit of a plateau. Last week I weighed-in at 152.9 and my anniversary with my hunny is on Tuesday for which my goal was to be 151-point-anything.

Here's to hoping I can pull that off! :D

On another note, I have been SERIOUSLY thinking about chopping my hair off. Currently my hair is long, down to the middle of my back or so. But I am just kinda sick of it. It takes forever to dry, FOREVER to get it to do anything cute, and I just never seem to be happy with it. I saw Bridesmaids the other night (AMAZING moving btw!) and I couldn't get over how cute Kristen Wiig's hair is.



How cute is that!?



I had my hair cut in a cute A-Line Bob a few years ago and I loved it. But then I got bored of that so I decided to grow my hair out long (of which I am bored of now too...anyone seeing a pattern?)  So I need your opinion.....
