Run run run..

I went “running” this morning for the first time since.. well… probably June. How awful! Although it wasn’t nearly as horrendous as it could have been. I managed not to totally pass out in a nearby shrubbery and made it home all in one piece.
The good thing is that I’m not discouraged but totally motivated [...]

Rambling about nothing really..

Lovely weekend these long weekends! Last night one of my friends who is moving to Asia had a “Drink My Booze” party. We each had to bring some mixers and then we went to town on her supply. It was good fun! Lots of stupid laughs and lots and lots of drinks! My head kills [...]

Day 4

I have passed three days of no sugar or fun food! All protein and vegetables mainly! The big test was being at an Italian restaurant known for its house wine and delicious pastas and pizzas. I said no! Even to the bread basket! I drank soda water and ordered a salad and tried to remain [...]

Just a Tuesday Afternoon

Well eating mainly protein and vegetables has made me a little less “high” in terms of how I usually act after a much needed sugar rush but I’m hanging in there. The first few days are always the hardest but I’m focusing on the desired results, one of which is not being the biggest person [...]
