Tuesday Morning Rant & Update

September 22, 2009

As I type this, I’m sitting here eating the rest of the mango I cut up the other day. Mmm. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: mango truly is the food of the gods! How can any one good be so delicious (and nutritious)?!
Anyway, last night I ate (organic [...]

Sunday Morning Ramblings

September 20, 2009

Today is definitely going to be a fruit day. I just cut up 2 ripe mangoes and a very ripe pineapple (2 of my favorite fruits). The cut-up fruit is chilling in the fridge, waiting to be eaten later today… Mmmm. Plus I still have some of those bananas from earlier this [...]

Saturday Morning Update

September 19, 2009

Note to self: never drink wine on a near-empty stomach again. Causes tolerance to be 0.
So I ended up having my two glasses of wine last night and then fell asleep on the couch! Didn’t get anything done. I have a slight hangover, even.
Today I’m back on fruit. Just had a [...]

24 Hour Water Fast & Another Update

September 19, 2009

Well well well… I didn’t intend to go on a 24-hour water fast, but it just happened! As mentioned in the previous post, I have been SO busy yesterday and today.
But I’m at the end of the fast now. And since technically I didn’t really want to water fast, I’m going to eat [...]

Quick Friday Update

September 18, 2009

The banana thing failed yesterday… simply because by the time 6pm rolled around and it was time for dinner, the thought of bananas made me nauseated. I just couldn’t bring myself to eat any more of them! So I managed 8 in total yesterday (and that was tough, trust me on that one). [...]

Going Strong…

September 17, 2009

…on the banana fast. I ate countless bananas today and nothing else. Never fear, I am definitely not starving myself – I had at least 1800 calories worth of bananas today.
For some reason I am far from tired right now, although it’s 2am. I’ve had a lot of energy throughout the day. [...]

Farmer's Market Produce

September 16, 2009

I have to admit I am really disappointed with the stuff I got at the farmer’s market on Saturday! The grapes were not good, and now the tomatoes don’t taste right. Some of them taste like chemicals, and others are totally tasteless. Weird! VERY disappointing considering I got a bunch of [...]

Saturday Morning Mouse & Insomnia Tribute

September 12, 2009

Warning: long, rambling, disjointed mouse ramblings ahead.
So, you ask, what am I doing up at 6:15am on a Saturday morning? Well, I actually didn’t go to bed last night. I’ve been on an erratic sleeping schedule this past week, caused mostly by website-related stress (the server and technical issues that were going on [...]

Just Got Official Word…

September 8, 2009

…I’m in! To my new apartment, that is. I’m SO excited.
On the diet front, yesterday sucked. Badly. I ate so much junk and crap food that I’m surprised I didn’t get sick.
Today has been strict fruitarian, and I plan to keep it that way.
I’ll update more later…!

Sunday Update & Ramblings

September 6, 2009

I woke up in a much better and positive mood today! Maybe I just needed to rant and rave a bit and get things off my chest.
I also woke up determined to stick to ‘only’ fruit today and so far it’s going well! I’ve had several bananas – some really good ones for [...]

Sometimes I Hate The Internet

September 5, 2009

Non weight-related rant ahead…
I really hate to say this, but it’s true: The internet is full of cruel and hateful people.
Sometimes it’s very disillusioning. I mean, what kind of species are we to hide behind our computers and bash others in the most hateful ways? To degrade others to the point that they [...]

Second Thoughts

September 1, 2009

So of course after being SO sure I am ready to buy a house yesterday, I wake up this morning with second thoughts. So frustrating. I am one of the most indecisive people in the world!
I do have an appointment with the real estate agent tomorrow though, plus I’m supposed to be talking [...]

I'm Getting Old

August 31, 2009

(Non weight-related post ahead!)
I am going to be 32 years old in less than a month (Sept 28th). I am a single 30-something year old woman, (something straight out of a chick lit novel) and lately I’ve been feeling “different”. I’ve been feeling older, but not in a bad way. This may [...]

Monday Night Update & A Rant

August 31, 2009

Just a quick update… I made myself a ‘menu’ for the week (I was bored last night with nothing to do!) that reflects the foods and calories I’ll be consuming for the week. Here are the days’ calorie counts:
Monday – 1130
Tuesday – 920
Wednesday – 1510
Thursday – 895
Friday – 1225
Saturday – 1910
Sunday – 1200
I’m sure [...]

Forgot To Mention…

August 16, 2009

I ran into my cousin yesterday at Whole Foods and she said I’ve lost some weight since I last saw her! It was one of the first things she said! That made me happy. I haven’t seen her in a couple of months at least.
Also, my underwear are getting looser.
I didn’t weigh [...]

Quick Update

August 10, 2009

I just ordered this mousetrap from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Mouse-Trap-Humane-Mousetrap/dp/B000YFA7HW/. I got overnight shipping so it’ll be here tomorrow!
The good thing is that it’s reusable, so if there is indeed an infestation, I can use it again and again. It doesn’t kill or hurt the mouse in any way. I’ll just have to [...]

Adorable Puppy

August 9, 2009

Isn’t she just the sweetest thing??!! No, she’s not mine. She belongs to my sister and her daughter. (That’s my niece holding her, by the way). I went with them to pick her up earlier this evening.
Puppies, kitties and bunnies are the most precious things in the world!

So Much Of Our Time Is Wasted…

August 8, 2009

… looking in the mirror, seeing the flaws. Worrying about our weight. Wondering if certain outfits make us look fat. Wondering if we look good enough to be seen in public.
I am only 31 years old (soon to be 32, in less than 2 month’s time), but already I have learned that [...]

A Post About The Mouse

August 7, 2009

Non weight-related post ahead…!
I have seen ‘the mouse’ 3 times since last night… the poor little bugger must be hungry to keep coming out of hiding. Every time I walk in the room (kitchen), it runs for safety behind my stove. I tried catching it… at one point I set out a piece [...]

Dairy Detox?! & Swiss Chard Wraps

July 26, 2009

I’ve officially been off dairy for 11 days… (it would be two weeks but I found out there was casein protein in something I thought was vegan last Wednesday). So… I’ve been feeling a bit ‘out of sorts’ over the past week and a half. I’ve been more irritable and cranky than usual. [...]
