this is where i’ll post food logs, weigh-ins, any exercise i manage to do, and all sorts of other health-related goodies.
i’ll also discuss my endometriosis a lot more here, too, along with talking in more depth about what i’m doing to heal.
and of course, please provide as much accountability as you feel compelled. LOL! =)
some general info:
- i use fitday.com’s software to track my food. the food logs you see are simply a “print screen” i’ve cropped from fitday. just click on the thumbnail to see it full-size :)
- almost all food i eat is organic—especially fruits, veggies and nuts. during the growing season, i get much of my produce from a local organic, biodynamic farm or my own garden.
- all meat and eggs i eat is/are raised locally and humanely, with no antibiotics, and fed organic food and pasture.
- i drink a small amount of kombucha or homemade chicken bone broth before almost every meal to aid in digestion.
- by the advice of my naturopath, i am slowly implementing a blood-type diet along with special considerations for my endometriosis. for both, there are certain foods i should avoid in order to feel my best.
- my current weight loss goal is 10% of my starting weight in december of 2006, which was 220. therefore, my first goal is to reach 198! i weigh in on thursdays :)
- i actually have another weight loss goal—to reach 195 by april 30th! and an even more challenging goal of 190 by april 30th if i can do it!
countdown to april 30th
happy monday!
gosh, it seems like its been eons since i checked in! hehe! things have been going mostly well. i’ve had a few hang-ups with fast food (i know, i know!!) but that’s been the worst of it.
tomorrow’s my weigh-in. as of today, im 203! the ticker up there (scroll up!) is obviously not correct; that was my lowest weight during my cleanse. i kept it there so i could motivate myself…or sprout (you know, like they do in euchre with the score cards in hopes of scoring? hehe!)…but tomorrow i’ll officially update it!
well i’m a little bummed once again that …

the finale--day 10

i cant believe it!! i did it. WOOHOO!!!
okay, lest you start believing i have a total will of steel, i’ll have you know i had subway for supper tonite. LOL!!! i did well tho—roasted chix breast with lots of veggies. while normally i wont eat wheat at all—i just NEEDED to eat some “comfort” food without going overboard. (no DQ or BK for me, intrepid! hehe!)
hubby was gone for the nite at a basketball game in milwaukee, and i just didnt feel like eating salad alone. >;)

day nine!
hello!
this is going to be a run-by posting. hehe!
i’m a bit blah tonite—i’m getting antsy to start eating more substantial foods again. i hate it when i get in “food moods…” i’m a super big whiner and many times it sets me off into a rut of binges! fortunately i’m adhering strictly to my cleanse—otherwise i’d have had a chocolate extreme blizzard from DQ today and maybe a whopper jr from BK! LOL!
i told hubby tonite that if it werent for me blogging this, i dont think i would have made it past day 3 or 4 if that. this has really kept me accountable!
anyhoo, dont worry tho …
day eight :)
hello my faithful (and shy! hehe) readers :)
well the sneezing continues…random still, but im hoping tomorrow is better. if i have one more day of blowing my trumpet im gonna look like rudolph! LOL!!
this morning for breakfast i had .5c kefir with raw honey mixed in and a hugemongous plum! the book calls for 1T raw honey but i maybe used 2/3 of a T. and it made the kefir almost too sweet for me! plus the plum was quite sweet so i felt like my breakfast was very carby. lol. that was at 8amish and by my next meal at 10:30am i wasnt feeling too hungry yet. so that’s a good sign!! =D
the bad thing is that within 30 minutes of eating brekky …
