Oprah and I are kindred spirits

Ok, first things first. My weigh in: 165



No change, but that's good. I only exercised maybe 3 times last week. My goal for the end of June is to weigh 155, so I've got to get moving and eating well!

I decided in the last week or so to transition into a vegan lifestyle. I've been 90% vegan since easing back into solid foods again. But guess who else has committed to eating vegan for a bit.. Oprah! Great minds think alike! She's even has a blog with her thoughts and a meal plan dedicated to her decision. I definitely will be tuning in!!


Be Healthy!!

See what had happened was....

I must be honest. I cannot tell a lie... I only made it through day 8. I know, I know, I only had 2 more days... but I just couldn't drink the "lemonade" another day. But I'm not disappointed nor do I regret coming off the cleanse. It was not solving my original goal for going on the cleanse. So I'm having to go to the doctor to see what she wants me to do. But I did lose a bit of weight, so now I'll just have to work at keeping it off and losing even more!! Wanna know what I weigh now?? Drum roll please...

165!!!!!!

Oh yea!! I lost 10 pounds since my last weight update in April.. well technically 11, but TOM has decided to come pay a visit. Grrrrr!!!! But now I have to continue to work, even harder to get to my goal weight. I'd love to be 145 by my family reunion (last weekend in July), but again, I'll be happy with size HEALTHY.

So that brings my total weight loss to 30 pounds.!! Woohoo!! Who rocks???

ME!!

Be healthy everyone!!

Master Cleanse day 6

Yeah, that's right!! I've fasted 6 days. It's been great, hard, difficult, and enlightening... all at the same time. I do have my hungry moments... and I mean HUNGRY. Like right now... But.. I'm on the other side now and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. MMM salad...

So, I've made a decision. I'm going to try a vegan diet for at least a month. Yep, for the whole month of June, I'll be meat and dairy free!! I'm already vegetarian so the meat part is a no brainer.. but..cheese? oh my gosh! So I'll be on a mission to find suitable alternatives. I made vegan macaroni and cheese a few months ago. It was pretty good! And to curb my cravings and love for cheetos, someone recommended I try Tings. So I'll go down to my local market and pick up a bag next weekend. I give the verdict on those after Memorial Day weekend.

4 more days... I can do this!!!

Day 2 of getting it all out!

Ok, so I started the Master Cleanse on Thursday. Bad idea! Every other Thursday our department has a potluck, so the smells in my office were driving me crazy! I was so hungry! So I had to put my "lemonade" down and chow down. Oh that food was so good! And I don't regret it! Ok, maybe a little. So I officially started yesterday. I was so freakin' hungry all day, but I just kept drinking "lemonade".

This morning started out ok. Then my husband and I decided to go for a run. 5 minutes into the run I was nauseous!!(sp?) We stopped into a coffee shop to get water and kept going. Plus it was hot out this morning. I kept having to stop. But I felt I got a good run this morning. One thing I did different was actually drive to the race start (I'm running 10K this summer). We wanted to start getting more familiar with the course. Secondly, it was so hot out! So that coupled with the cleanse, made a difficult run this morning. But I felt great when we finished!

I'm a princess!
My husband and I have called today our princess day. Basically we are going to stay in, stay in the bed and just relax, watch movies and do whatever it is you do... in bed!! So I'm off!

Stay healthy!

Not feeling the best

Hello!

Running has been going ok. I'm going to try running for 28 minutes tomorrow. I tried to do it today.. but I don't know what happened. I think my body is on auto pilot and I automatically stopped at 25.

A tad TMI

So I've been having the most uncomfortable gastrointestinal issues for a little over a week. I don't know what's going on. I've tried everything... gas X, Ex-lax (although, that did help a little), prunes (my mom's suggestion)... still feeling like a Macy's Day parade participant. So I'm thinking of doing the Master Cleanse. I did it a few years ago... stayed on for 10 days. I felt great when it was all over. There were days that I was sooo hungry but I made it through. So I'm seriously thinking of doing that. I'm hoping it well help. And of course, a trip to the doctor is in order too, I know. I'm the hardest person to get to go see a Dr., but after this past week, I'm making a call.

Before I go...

So I love to play around with my hair... and my new infatuation are wigs! I love them. You get to be someone new each time you put a new one on. So far I own 3 (since January) and I already know the one I'm getting next. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing with the hair on top of my head. But the wig allows me to be fabulous even when my own hair won't cooperate. Here's my latest do'

Good night!!
