RR's

postponed until monday...i can't miss out on el pinto and zinc this weekend while mike's parents are in town.

so much to do...have to go home and clean the entire house as its a mess and i don't want his parents to see it looking like that.

oh well...as is life.

a big congrats to the flacks as they welcome tyler lee flack into the world on 9.1 - that is so wonderful and i can't wait to see more pictures!

moira and gunnar are up next...only a few more weeks! all these babies...sort of makes me want one of our own...but that can wait for a little while.

p.s. the RR's stand for random ramblings...

i have been pretty belly sick as of late...smells make me want to puke and i am getting really bad headaches...i actually thought i might be prego...but two tests conclusively prove that i am in fact not...when i told mike this - he was a little disappointed which was soooo cute. i honestly cant wait to start our family. not that my little four legged furry babies aren't keeping me busy enough but you know what i mean.

back to work!

after lunch

well that was not as hard as i thought it would be...

but i am sitting here thinking that maybe i should have started this on monday of next week as mike's parents are going to be in town and it will be a challenge to pass on good wine and food when we take them to dinner.

oh well...it seems like it is never the right time to start this thing.

either way - i still feel good...and not hungry.

a small bump in the road

the first challange...

lunch with a vendor...just told my boss that i am doing a master cleanse so i wont be eating...have not heard back regarding her thoughts.

oh well...i will sit there and watch them eat.

lemonade in hand!

is it 5:00 yet?

10:39 and i am bored!!

the worst part is that in my attempts to be a wonderful friend and bridesmaid...i am helping my ney find cupcakes and a mini cake for the reception...which means that i have spent my morning looking at (you guessed it) cupcakes and mini cakes with all kinds of fondant and frosting and things like that...

the best part is that i don't even like cake!!!!

oh well...its almost 11:00...which means the day is almost sort of half over...

trying to focus on work but we have so much to do around the house that its almost impossible to think about placing media.

on the plus side...i am not hungry and the lemonade is not bad at all...

back at it

after a very long hiatus in the process and the realization that this is going to be a very hard task...i have once again embraced the master cleanse and starting this morning will embark on this journey over the next month.

i have been getting really bad headaches, more than i should be getting them, and they are becoming debilitating. i am attempting to cleanse my system in an effort to get rid of these headaches and move forward in the direction of better health.

update one for the day...i am sure there will be many many more.

in the event that anyone cares...or even reads this...but either way - it will help me to stay focused.

8:27 a.m. - going strong!

just made my first lemonade mix for the day...

Finally...

for the past few months i have not felt particularly well about myself...the way i look or the way i feel
i stopped eating meat in an effort to combat the gross feeling in my stomach after a huge meal heavy with animal protein and while that has helped a little i still feel gross!
call it stress, call it a lack of working out, call it being tired...but honestly i call it "eating all the wrong things and exposing my body to things it should never have to deal with"
if you know me - and i am hoping that if you are reading this you at least have an idea of who i am...you know that i could survive on a diet consisting of noodles with spray butter and Parmesan cheese, veggie burgers and the occasional roll from the local sushi joint...but really - is that good for me?
i have heard a lot about this Master Cleanse book/diet that is becoming overwhelmingly popular and decided to learn more about it. Honestly two pages into the book i knew that i wanted to do this...

it wont be easy...actually it will be down right hard because i like so many other people eat when i am bored not just when i am hungry, and have a fiance that can eat anything and everything and still stay thin...

but i say "bring it on"

i am ready...starting tomorrow (well tonight actually) i will be embarking on a 10 day (at least) master cleanse...

i plan on using this blog as an outlet for anything and everything i am feeling both good and bad to remind myself why i am doing this and how much better i will feel once its over.

its not just about weight...its about letting my body recover from all of the stress and harm i have put it through because of the food i choose to eat, the soda and alcohol i choose to drink and mostly the lack of positive health choices that i tend to make...

lets flush it all away!!

more to come...

does this make it official...

for some reason i have been on a big kick to finish our wedding website these past few days...

i guess i just have a ton of information to share and this seems like the best place to put it all down...

it has all the necessary information (well most of it) for the wedding next August. I will keep updating and adding to it - comments and suggestions are always welcome!

check it out...
