3 Day Cleanse - Complete!

That's right - for three days straight I had nothing but fruits and vegetables. It honestly was not very hard (although I did feel like I was getting more and more hungry as the days went by). All in all, I lost 4.8 pounds, and that was pretty much without any exercise at all unless you want to count two short and easy yoga videos off of YouTube. Success!

While I was tempted to have a super delicious egg and sausage breakfast, I decided I wouldn't stray too far from what I've been doing these last three days and made a smoothie instead. I changed up my ingredients a bit which changed the color and texture. Let's just say I reaaaally wish I had a glass that wasn't clear...

Guacamole Vomit Smootie...

Who knew peaches, strawberries, and spinach could look so nasty... Anyway, on the whole I'm feeling a lot better, although there are definitely a few stressors in my life right now. I met with Seetha today and we talked things through. She said I'm burning the candle at both ends (seems to always be the case), and she helped me identify what I need - is it sleep? emotional food? After talking it over, I think I just need some time alone to do nothing. Mostly the people at Job #1 are driving me absolutely nuts... I just need some peace and quiet! Of course that's going to have to wait until tomorrow because tonight I have Job #2 and Mind/Body Bool Club. Oh well.

Job #1 is my big stress right now. Other things I'm not thrilled with... 1) my haircut yesterday... I know she's just trying to make my hair look healthy but I feel like she cut so much off. I'm not sure it can even all grow back before the wedding. It was hard not to cry while doing my hair this morning. 2) Winter. We got yet another storm yesterday.

Look how high the snow is piled up on our chain link fence!

3) Valentines Day. I want it to be special but I am out of energy, ideas, and money. 4) Wedding. Too many decisions. Too many people involved. I wish I could wave a magic wand and "pouf" it would be done. I'm already burning the candle at both ends. I think I need a whole other candle to burn for wedding things.

So, that's about all that's going on. Now I'm off to a high school to borrow some marching band equipment... what a thrilling life I lead. ;-)
