How many ways can YOU write May gray? Must be tough to be a weather man here ;)
I went to Target during lunch today
and bought all the food. Then I ate all the food.
Dinner tonight is a long run and big gulp of air.
We took Zu to the tennis courts with us this weekend. It was kind of like having a ball girl…
Reboot - the grand finale
I made it through my snack Friday afternoon before I started feeling lousy. I was dizzy, nauseated, tired and cloudy. I almost got in a few car accidents on the way, debated pulling over to throw up and wanted to curl up in a ball and die. ugh. So I decided it was time for real food.
I’m disappointed that I didn’t make it as long as I wanted, but I learned a lot. I do have self control. I can say no to desserts after lunch and don’t need to eat carb loaded breakfast. I realized I do better when I have a plan for the day. I learned that I need more to eat than just juice!
One of my coworkers commented on how much brighter I seemed today, and I went for a run after work for the first time in over a week. I’m glad I did it for a few days but am happy I’m back to real eating.

Cakes have gotten a bad rap. People equate virtue with turning down dessert. There is always one person at the table who holds up her hand when I serve the cake. No, really, I couldn’t she says, and then gives her flat stomach a conspiratorial little pat. Everyone who is pressing a fork into that first tender layer looks at the person who declined the plate, and they all think, That person is better than I am. That person has discipline. But that isn’t a person with discipline; that is a person who has completely lost touch with joy. A slice of cake never made anybody fat. You don’t eat the whole cake. You don’t eat a cake every day of your life. You take the cake when it is offered because the cake is delicious. You have a slice of cake and what it reminds you of is someplace that’s safe, uncomplicated, without stress. A cake is a party, a birthday, a wedding. A cake is what’s served on the happiest days of your life. This is a story of how my life was saved by cake, so, of course, if sides are to be taken, I will always take the side of cake.

Save the dates in the mail. Finished registering. J’s suit procured. Bridesmaid dresses selected. Productive wedding weekend. Cheers!
Drive in movies!
Reboot Day 3
Another day in the books!
Food’s today was meh. My morning smoothie was full of romain, my “soup” this afternoon was basically warmed up juice, dinner was cold carrot/ginger soup. Over it.
One of the most frustrating parts so far is the prep work that goes in to it. I spent over four hours last night chopping things to get ready for today. Maybe it would be less miserable if someone did the prep and dishes for me!
Tomorrow is day four - and the start of the weekend. It’s definitely going to get tougher when I don’t have my work routine and am faced with eating out and boozy activities.
Reboot Day 2
Okay so day 2.
Today was harder. Probably because the juice was very green (celery, cucumbers, kale, pear) and lunch was a kale salad while my office chowed down on Greek food and cake for a wedding shower. Dinner was way better than the lunch and helped redeem the day a little.
Does anyone like kale? Am I going to like kale at the end of this? Because right now I don’t. Ugh.
Body-wise I’m not feeling too great. Kind of shaky and tired. Drinking water helped, and Jason reminded me, “you’re cleansing. it’s not supposed to be easy.”
Looking forward to the glowing and all that shit that’s supposed to come with this.
An ice cream maker is the only item on our Macy’s registry. I’m not even a little sorry.
Reboot Day 1
Not too bad!
The first five days include solid foods so I feel like I’ve had plenty to eat today. I’m a little hungry, but I’m not sure how much of that is mental. I’m guessing most of it.
The tricky part is going to be balancing working out with this program. I’ve been running four-ish days a week and did a solid seven mile run on Sunday. I’d hate to backslide on my running but don’t want my body to go into starvation mode because I’m consuming too few calories for my activity level. Any suggestions?

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead
I’ve been unhappy with my weight for awhile now. Even more than my weight, I’m unhappy with my eating habits. I’m unhappy with me. I need to make a change.
So I decided to “reboot” my system. My taste buds. My mind.
I watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead last night as motivation. The documentary follows around a guy on a 60 day juice fast. I’m probably the last person on earth to watch it, so I won’t go into details. If you haven’t seen it, you can watch on youtube for free. Do it.
The guy narrating the documentary has a website called Reboot with Joe. The site has different plans and recipes.
Tomorrow I am starting my 15 day reboot. I’m nervous and excited! I’m going to be tracking the 15 days on here so if you see me struggling please remind me that it’s only 15 days. And it might just change my life.
Wedding dresses and a potentially awkward conversation
- me: the size I ordered is the same one I tried on in the store but my measurements said I was size up from that so I'm assuming the sample was stretched. I want to lose a little before the wedding
- Marti: yea those samples get tossed around...well ill be dieting come sept to fit into my bridesmaids dress so you and I can diet and then finish off with a crash diet
- me: your bridesmaid dress for my wedding...?? because we should talk about that
- Marti: BAHAHAHAHAHA no im in a wedding the week after ur wedding
Honeymooon booked!
