This shit tastes disgusting, but I'm dealing w/it by not breathing while I drink :p heh I think I may need to go back to the maple syrup afterall, b/c the molasses version is FOUL...ya hear? holla!!<br /><br />Anyway, the water will melt off...the weight will go back to what it was, and things will be fine. Realized Saturn finally went direct in Virgo the other day, so I think that's gonna help me get back on target. :) (what? oh, leave astrology alone for a day...)<br /><br />The first few days are always the most difficult. But, after that it should be smooth sailing....<br /><br />Start date of fast: 05/05/08 (hey! cinco de mayo...whoopee)<br />Last day of fast: 05/15/08<br />Transition period: 05/16 - 05/19<br /><br />Yeah, it's hard to go back to food after not eating for awhile. It basically goes like this - continue w/fasting liquid, add broth; next day - liquid, broth, then juice; day after that - liquid, broth, juice, then soup; day after that (last day of transition) - liquid, broth, juice, soup, fruit. After that, you can pretty much go back to eating "normally"...ya know, but HEALTHIER. Otherwise, you went thru all that for nothing. I leave for NYC on May 23rd. Don't know how things will fare whilst on the road, but it shouldn't be too terrible. :) Anyway, that's all I've got to add right now. Will update again soon...lillyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05499501305099167675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048065509927115504.post-52727137464173848452008-04-24T21:37:00.004-05:002008-12-09T07:55:03.790-06:00no worries...I haven't given up...still around...will be doing a fast for awhile, so there won't be any food log updates for a bit, til I'm off the fast. Anyways, since I don't really have anything to share otherwise - here's a few pics :)<br /><br />This first one is my baby, Tiger - who was killed on March 5th. I still miss him & tear up a little when I think of him. You can see, he was quite the possessive little shit. ;) haha...And so is his brother, Saru, who is starring in the rest of the pics. Anyway, that's all I've got right now. Kitty pics...at least I didn't LOLZ them, right? RIP Tiger...and god bless Saru :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwsDAqrbA8r3vzr3l9iU1csPhG3BC27DP4cymB1yEvmNANM83GNFunk1a_t96gcxI3WJSdUCuEDWbsmFm9anJ6-WUXzM0o15ou4DPfzDnNq3zWeVEHQXobEjyJlt8CuYlrV9RBXiiH5kO9/s1600-h/02-01-08_1225.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwsDAqrbA8r3vzr3l9iU1csPhG3BC27DP4cymB1yEvmNANM83GNFunk1a_t96gcxI3WJSdUCuEDWbsmFm9anJ6-WUXzM0o15ou4DPfzDnNq3zWeVEHQXobEjyJlt8CuYlrV9RBXiiH5kO9/s320/02-01-08_1225.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193006894985393634" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmxa1hfNa6J_qMBAc9Yfq5IN4A7XlQZ2RdwNt67LbeGVkr_bc4hxUg6wRWVDx0KoEd2Pe980Xo8Ajr-uSVOJpfBxaADajG_n6KPBFPzrSSZ0hyqZjeV-znOBlG5cYYy8h5sLUzS67h74AL/s1600-h/PIC-0027.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmxa1hfNa6J_qMBAc9Yfq5IN4A7XlQZ2RdwNt67LbeGVkr_bc4hxUg6wRWVDx0KoEd2Pe980Xo8Ajr-uSVOJpfBxaADajG_n6KPBFPzrSSZ0hyqZjeV-znOBlG5cYYy8h5sLUzS67h74AL/s320/PIC-0027.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193006899280360946" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6AusoJywFRgr9Mdj3GIZM109CHCvVoeNhDWZ2XRpkjkrmsbseHJlUb4tAZfMV0QbBSp83f7P0FQUNjeluGt6hFHzNJ36zrEZEYE0uY3z1mtCIyMZBk8zFkYY2UN4DKoDu-HZkR2Qnz01j/s1600-h/PIC-0028.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6AusoJywFRgr9Mdj3GIZM109CHCvVoeNhDWZ2XRpkjkrmsbseHJlUb4tAZfMV0QbBSp83f7P0FQUNjeluGt6hFHzNJ36zrEZEYE0uY3z1mtCIyMZBk8zFkYY2UN4DKoDu-HZkR2Qnz01j/s320/PIC-0028.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193006907870295554" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZk0Rpb-4wzqmPYTtOw8jjWqiUCwg9CIULxAchoPgViUuHF7p_NcHdLl2Ek7yDgFCBTKlUDUVTIVSsuUUq_5GMV1a27fo0jdHGibMEKlMfOJl95d-RRfsuynhWhLz-yLnIjgo7oQCFGr5b/s1600-h/PIC-0047.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZk0Rpb-4wzqmPYTtOw8jjWqiUCwg9CIULxAchoPgViUuHF7p_NcHdLl2Ek7yDgFCBTKlUDUVTIVSsuUUq_5GMV1a27fo0jdHGibMEKlMfOJl95d-RRfsuynhWhLz-yLnIjgo7oQCFGr5b/s320/PIC-0047.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193006907870295570" border="0" /></a>lillyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05499501305099167675noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048065509927115504.post-60320448187460890242008-04-22T09:21:00.002-05:002008-04-22T09:25:07.679-05:00wish I could say I was doing better today...but I can't. I fully intended on getting up early and exercising, since everyone left fairly early. But nooooooo...didn't drag my ass out of bed til 9'ish. :( And did I get dressed to workout? Nope...Why? I don't really know. I mean, I know why I'm depressed, just wish I could push myself to exercise anyway. I KNOW it would make me feel better, at least for a little while. *sigh* So, here I sit, at the computer AGAIN, knoshing on a frickin' mustard sandwich (hey, condiment sandwiches are my comfort food, leave me alone :P) and drinking a bottle of water. At least it's not soda, right? And at least there isn't meat or cheese in the sandwich.

I'm trying to jot down ideas every day and such. I think 2-3 articles a week would be good for now.<br /><br />The plan is to write one article based on this little weight loss journey I'm on & another article about food in general. The food article would probably comprise a recipe or two, along w/some pictures or something, and some general info about the nutrients found in said food. I think that would be interesting for some people b/c I know <span style="font-weight: bold;">I'm </span>always looking for new recipes & stuff to try. So, actually, this will benefit in two ways, b/c I'll be honing my writing skills AND my photography skills at once! Wee! :)<br /><br />Anyway, as for the more personal article, I don't know. I think I can help people who are struggling or having a hard time of things. I know I don't always have an easy time w/all this. But, I love to help people and think it would be awesome if something I wrote inspired someone or helped in some way. So, that's the plan...just thought I'd put that out there, that way I'm held accountable. I had the intention to do it, now I've stated it, so now I have to do it!<br /><br />The kids should be home soon, so I better get ready to go back out & have some fun while the sun's still shining. (Not that it ever really stops shining in Texas *sigh*) ttfn!lillyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05499501305099167675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048065509927115504.post-80554661936474530112008-04-18T14:36:00.003-05:002008-04-19T09:59:13.918-05:00food log...04.18.2008sorry, sorry, sorry! i know i'm late...life happens, you know? anyway...<br /><br />8am = shot of POM & an apple<br />12N = cup of tomato basil soup & spinach salad (spinach, strawberries, pecans, mushrooms & red peppers) w/lite vinaigrette<br />2pm = grande nonfat caramel macchiato (i know, i know...but i had a craving, and it's not like i drink coffee all the time)<br />6pm = pb&j on ww pita<br />8pm = asian wrap w/chickpeas!!

I'll post my results here to prove to myself months from now that I really did this insane thing.

I'm not even exaggerating, I really f'in hate it when the tummy "pooches out" & shit...omg...you've no idea how much that drives me nuts...anyway...<br /><br />so, I bought two new tops and...brace yourself...a skirt...holy shit, yes, I bought a f'in skirt!! I can't even tell you the last time I bought a skirt, let alone wore one. So, here's the kicker...back in January, I bought a few shirts...all size 22/24. Yesterday, the shirts I got were 18/20!!! And they fit BEAUTIFULLY!!! Now, I'm still a 24 in pants (I think...I've been buying Right Fit jeans and have gone from a 7, to a 6, and now I'm a 5), but the skirt I got? Size 22, baby!!! Holy shit...a 22! Now, I can get away w/a smaller skirt b/c of my waist...It's my damned hips & ass that keep me in 24s. :(<br /><br />Anyway, slowly but surely, the sizes are going down! I'll try to post some pics tomorrow...maybe...I need to chill out today and do some minor pampering...you know...like actually shaving my legs ;) haha...can't remember the last time I did that either (I'm so hairless, it's not funny, which is why I never shave) :P Seriously, though, my legs are blindingly white...need to shave & use some sort of sunless tanner stuff...hehe...toodles!lillyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05499501305099167675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048065509927115504.post-74135962004024314422008-04-09T22:56:00.002-05:002008-04-10T09:46:54.079-05:00banana muffinsso, i made banana muffins tonight...subbed applesauce for the fat again & used abt 1/2 the sugar the recipe called for. they came out really tasty! i have to admit, i've had 2 of them already. made 12 & there's only 2 left, so i'd say they were a sucess! ;) i'll see if i can post the recipe (w/my modifications) tmrw.lillyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05499501305099167675noreply@blogger.com0
