Well...that could have gone better!

Last year didn't turn out quite as stunning as I had planned in weight loss and all. Hmmm...I've actually started over this year. And my started over, I mean I'm moving really, really slowly. I am pretty sure I've lost the same five pounds throughout this entire year.

But, with that said, I am ready to work hard at not gaining weight and stop avoiding all the things that fat girls shouldn't do. My "what fat girls shouldn't do" list this is my own mental list that restricts me from doing certain things because, frankly, I'm too fat.

1) visiting family: I'm going to go in July (if work isn't too hectic)...don't want to see people and hear me called "fluffy," but these peeps are family, and I can't avoid them forever!

2) buying a dress: I almost bought one the other day. Maybe when I lost 10 lbs (see? I'll still be fat but will have a dress. Makes sense in my own head.)

3) go to the craft store: I went to my favorite craft store a few months after I had my child and the owner asked if I was expecting again. That was nearly four years ago. Haven't been back sense. But I really do love the merchandise...and really want to go back.

That's all for now. It's nap time at our house. I've been meaning to post for ages and wanted to get something down while I was thinking about it. Happy Memorial Day weekend!!!

Trying 1-day liquified diet

Not "liquid" diet...and not calorie/fat restrictions either. This is a vegetarian day where I just happen to puree all my food, keeping it to healthy stuff..steamed veggies, soup, whole grains, no meat, no heavy cheese...

Deepak says to do this once per week to balance my Kapha dosha...meaning until I have lost some weight, but more importantly, until my digestion is robust.

Then there's a whole thing about sipping hot water once every half hour.

So for breakfast I had an oatmeal, blueberry, banana, almond "smoothie" with a half cup of hot milk.

yum..actually pretty tasty.

Then there will be some veggie soups, and maybe beans and rice later today.

i'll let you know if i survive. Last time I think I wound up w/ a cheeseburger around 5pm.
