"Mommy, are you gonna have another baby?"
awwww, what a tender and precious question? What on earth got her thinking about that this morning? As my four year old spins me around in the computer desk chair and pokes my indecently exposed midsection . . .
UGH!
I've been found out.
Yup, it's true, my secret is revealed . . . in my head I still believe I look like this,
Maui, 2003- BK (that's before kids)So in order to keep this blissful state of mind I just avoid the mirror
Buy clothes based purely on price & cuteness
Completely disregarding the size tucked inside where no one will ever see.
I WILL NOT use the three letter "F" word to describe my current state of physicality . . .
however
Things just ain't what (or where) they used to be. And truth is, that 2 day a week tennis routine (only about 3-4 hours a week) does NOT burn off the calories that are kept in my pantry! I'm not complaining without action so here goes . . . .
My friend Christy was talking about this and I decided to look it up immediately after being discovered this morning . . . I'm not going to call it a diet because that will NEVER work in my vocabulary, just merely a trial menu for the month of September. It has to have some results for me to actually believe I can stick with it.
My new meal plan will consist of things that I probably can't find in the grocery store and have never thought in a million years would be considered a full meal (rice milk, protein powder, wheat germ, fiber cereal, vegetable stock . . . yummy)
So without question, this is a trial month & I am the test market . . . your average 35 year old, very active but NOT exercising contestant, who loves her chocolates & craves Dr. Pepper
Good Luck with this one DETOX DIET!
Now let's get to work
(after Monday of course :)
PS- the answer to sweet leah's gut wrenching qiestions is "NO", no baby (just pudgy)!

Day ONE is DONE! and yes, I'm starving . . .
You can do it!! You are so funny and I am pretty sure that you are NOT Fat!!! Your are beautiful inside and out and I will be lifting you up as you try this out. I am struggling with the post baby body and realizing how much I value my looks WAY too much!!
i am finishing up the 4th week of a 28 day detox.
i'll tell you about it on Monday .. but it has been HARD. i've lost 12 pounds so far - 7 lbs of fat.
love how i feel to be 'clean' more than anything!!
xo
can you believe it I've made in through day 4? I simply cannot . . .the headache is finally gone, no change that I can see yet. Do I feel any better/different? not really, aside from the sticker shock at what "eating healthy" will cost you at Kroger!
So...how is it going? I am interested to know. Keep us updated! Love you!
Okay, I have to know how it is going now. Keep us updated!
final- canbnot believe I lasted all 12 days, had my first DP yesterday and here is what has come from this tortureous detox diet . . it wasn't all so bad.
I learned that after the headaches were gone, I CAN live without a Dr Pepper, water is just as refreshing all iced up, and Hot Green tea is YUMMMY and kinda romantic when paired with a good book to read :)
My rings were sliding around off my fingers until I ate a handfull of corn chips- WATCH YOUR SALT intake, it matters . . .
go organic with meat, milk & fuits! just don't buy processed foods . . sorry kids, no more Kraft Mac-n-chz, it's just not 'good' for us.
I want to have healthy kids, and I want to stop putting CRAP into my body, and the occassional trip to McD's for a Happy meal should be a TREAT, like once a blue moon, not once a week!
I'm cured, no thinner, just have a healthier state of mind. Now, where's my Dr. Pepper?
