We have an offer? Make it THREE!

So starts the bidding war! 

Cleanse is OFFICIALLY done.

So a week of cleansing, actually only 5 days, left me physically exhausted and sick.  I wasn’t on top on my game when I started so I’m sure it’s partly my fault. 

Final poundage…213.8 (my lowest weight since college when I somehow gained 40 pounds after phen-fen).

Total lost is a 7 day period… 13.6!  Yes, extraordinary but at a price.

 I just might try this again in a few months and see how I do then.  Next time I’ll be sure to be 100% healthy from the get-go.

So here’s the diet for those who were wondering.  Believe it or not, it can from a licensed nutritionist.  The cleanse is ONLY one week then a week of metabolism increasing recipes.  I’m going to try that later.  Currently I’m working on getting rid of this virus.

Drink tons and tons of water.  Eat one fruit every hour all morning.

Lunch is a salad with lots of veggies dressed with vinegar and 1T olive oil.  Protein is 10 raw cashes or almonds.

Eat on veggie every hour until dinner.

Dinner is a salad with lots of veggies dressed with vinegar and 1T olive oil.  Protein is 10 raw almonds or cashews.

Continue with hourly veggies but eat nothing after 8PM.

Water, water, water!  flavor your water with cucumber, orange or lemon slices.

Saturday and Sunday you add lean protein to your salads instead of the nuts.

Here is my list of the top ten things that make ME happy, no one else BUT me.  This is my selfish list.  It’s only a list, not a real day or anything.  Don’t get too excited and put me on the worst mother list yet.

1.  Peace and quiet…when you say, “do you hear that?” and the person you’re with says “No.”  “Exactly!”

2.  A clean and tidy house which leads me to a clean and tidy mind.

3.  Empty laundry baskets which means there is NO dirty laundry.

4. A full tank of gas.

5.  Ordering dinner in.

6.  Reading while laying on a comfy blanket under a tree.

7.  Napping in the sun.

8.  Having time to shower AND shave your legs without someone screaming, “Mooooooommmmmy…”

9.  Getting a good hair cut.  Scalp massage while being shampooed too.

10.  And topping the day off with a good pedicure and foot massage.

 One day……

Cleanse update…216.4…Down 11!

Update on the cleansing diet…

Boy, yesterday sure did suck!  I think my biggest problem is the caffeine with-drawl.  Motrin has become my best friend.  We are all a bit under the weather here so that didn’t make the day any better either.

Here’s what I ate…

1banana

1pear

1plum

large salad with bibb lettuce, celery, carrots, tomato and cucumber for lunch.  Dressed with vinegar and 1 T olive oil

10 cashews

celery sticks

a few grapes

another salad with the same stuff for dinner

10 almonds

LOTS of water

End result…weigh in at 221.8…that’s 5.6 difference from yesterday but I hadn’t been that high of a weigh in months so maybe it was a fluke.  Let’s see how the rest of the week goes, if I can make it.  ;o)

Chinese Freeze Tag

Here we go on Wordless Wednesday.  I never was one to follow the rules anyway.  I’m supposed to write ten interesting things about me or habits.  I don’t think I’m that interesting.  I may have to stop at six.

1.  When I was growing up I use to practice my talent, acceptance speech and wave for becoming the next Miss USA.  Sad, but true.

2.  I’m really excited about moving to a real and long term house so I can create and incredible garden in my backyard complete with wandering ivy, moss covered stepping stones and lots and lots of blooms.

3.  Seven years later I’m back at my wedding weight.  Still more to loose though and no current motivation to get going.

4.  I have this college degree that I really haven’t used yet.  I want to go back and get my masters in education so I can be a high school guidance counselor but not right now.  The wee ones need me too much.

 5.  We’re done with kids but I am too much of a control freak for my husband to get a vasectomy.  Gotta love the IUD!

6.  As I’m getting older I’m becoming more of a type A personality with rigid tendencies.  So long fancy and free Krissy!

7.  I’d prefer to cook a gourmet meal at home rather than go out to a fancy dinner.

8.  I’ve bitten my nails for as long as I’ve had teeth.

9.  My DH is my rock, my best friend and I cannot imagine ANYTHING without him beside me. 

10.  Spiritually I know that God watches over us and provides everything we need but many times I want Him to hurry it on up!

Wordless Wednesday

Hair Cut!

Lacey got her first hair cut this weekend.  We decided that she had mastered the hair sweep to the side and we wanted to change things up for her.  Do you think she’ll look back on this and say something like, “GOD MOM!  How could you possibly have given me bangs!”

Lene made me do it!

So this is my first blog.  For some reason I have the profound urge to wrote “booger”.  there I did it.

Okay…my day so far.  Wake up at 5:30am.  Why on Earth does my wee man like to get up at 5:30am?  Isn’t that insane?  He’s not even a year old and that dumb internal clock of his is alrady in motion.  He wakes up the entire family before the alarm clock even has a chance to do it’s job.  The alarm clock union will file a grievance if this continues.  grr.  When we get up that early I have to sit around and wait for places to open.  That is so not like me.  Wait for someone else?  ha!  I’m usually the one that’s late or slacking.  Thus my day begins by waiting for the window place to open, the electrical inspector is get to his office, my sister to wake up with her two year old who sleeps to 9AM (that’s so unkind!), city hall to open, and here I sit still in my PJ’s.  oops.  I guess I could have showered. 

Please drop me a ideas on how this whole booggering, I mean blogging thing works.  Wordless Wednesday?  13 on what day?  This fatty needs the skinny.

ta-ta for now…
