I couldn’t choose between “Holy Crap” (because today is Sunday) or “I Was Full of Crap” as a blog post title. Because, both titles are totally accurate….. Somehow, some way, my Big Little Sister, convinced me to go get colonics. I was always curious about it, but never bold enough to actually do it….until today. It’s supposed to be good to jumpstart weight loss and cleanse old gross stuff off of your colon walls. We went to Dr. Israel a certified holistic colon hydro-therapist. I was so proud that I could [...]
Now you know with a title like that it can’t be good. And no I’m not talking about eating ”good carbs” like whole grain filled healthy food. I’m talking about pasta and bread and cookies. What happened? I had to work early and ate a bowl of cereal at like 6 AM when I usually don’t eat breakfast until about 9. I had to help set up and administer a high pressure meeting with attorneys from all over the country. Our office ordered fresh baked cookies from a local bakery. When I [...]
Carli & Mezzy Before the 5K
Today was Awesome. Where do I begin? The alarm went off at 6 this morning, and unlike yesterday, I wasn’t able to go back to sleep after I hit snooze, because I was too excited. Once I got up, my stomach was a little upset, I wondered if it was nerves like before. I realized, I’m not nervous…so what’s wrong? Then I remembered it could be the late night ice cream coupled with me being lactose intolerant. Silly me. Anyway, last night, [...]
Ladies and a few gentlemen who tolerate my excessive girliness, I’m wiped. Work is kicking my whole size 18 behind. I might have lived it up during my work-cation in Los Angeles, but I quickly learned that they are going to make me earn it. Working for lawyers is already a full time job, but my boss told me and I quote “you haven’t began to know what over-time is.” I work with a good group of people and I have a job that I love in this tough [...]
I lost 3.4 pounds at my Weight Watcher’s weigh in today! I was honestly quite shocked. I didn’t know what to expect. I’ve been mostly eating right, sorta tracking my food, but totally getting in activity. Oh yeah, and I gave up cookies. I guess all of that equals weight loss. I’ll take it! The topic of the meeting today was “From Opps to Wow.” I thought that title was kind of silly, but what we discussed was important. Basically we talked about letting go of the past. [...]
My Body is telling me no…..But my Mind is telling me Yessssss! My half marathon is less than 1 month away, and I know I need to be really consistent with training if I’m going to finish that race. I missed boot camp class yesterday, because I was so tired and had a ton of stuff to do at home. Sometimes life just gets in the way. But today, I had to walk. In my mind, the most logical distance after tackling 5 miles was 6 miles, and [...]
The two things I gave up, Liquid Satan and cookies. A while back, after reading the book Skinny B!tch, I and learned about all of the harmful ingredients in soda pop aka “Liquid Satan”, and I decided to stop drinking it. It was really hard, I realized I was actually addicted to the caffeine and had a nasty little soda habit. However after a couple of weeks I stopped craving it. The low calorie mix-ins that you add to water, helped during the tough times. I just realized [...]
Today was great! I walked a half mile to the training center from the hotel, like I’ve done everyday since I got here. The training session was soooo super boring, I needed toothpicks to hold my eyes open and I wonder how I’ll stand another day of this. I learned a lot, but you can only take so much of talk about servers, gigabytes and tiffs for 8 hours. Lunch was sadly the highlight of the work day, they ordered Chinese food. Of course along with Chinese comes fortune [...]
