Paralyzing Joy, Detox Day 11, First-Encounter Anticipation

I’ve been blogging M.I.A the past couple of days and I’ll blame it on two things:
1). the lack of sugar in the brain/over abundance of peanut-butter  (peanut butter probably not really allowed on this diet, but its not technically NOT allowed either, so I abuse it)
2). preparations for my trip to England  
The detox is [...]

I am feeling happy

I bet I am the happiest woman on my street in this world today.
Why?
No reason.
Just that it’s Sunday and I discovered I can still do a handstand. What a great day!
Also because I am dancing with Lucca, and Skyping with my Man in Moseley. All of this is enough to bring uncontrollable smiles [...]

Randy Pausch- See Your Life in a New Way

Do yourself and your kids a favor– watch this together:

on the best thing about love:

“It’s not [...]

Day 5: “No one can steal my (cheese-it) dream, no one!”

I survived Day 4! No thanks to my little guy who gratuitously munched on Cheese-Its while I got high off the fumes. But I didn’t give in, I didn’t even lick his fingers….detox still going!
Let’s celebrate with some fat-free fairytale cheese that is sure to inspire:

Why do I love this [...]

Detox Day 4, I Abhor!

I’m loopy and rhyming,
To pass the timing
Of this very un-fun
Sans-sugar day.
Days one thru three
I experienced glee
And know my body is saying
“Freaking-A!!!!”
Lunch is eggplant:
Subject of rant
Because this veggie taste shit…
“Hooray!”
The higher me
Promises I’ll see
The light if I get thru
This tasteless day

I’d like to slap her
And shoot-up some sugar
But I’ll resist and keep the bitch
at bay.

Day 2: What a Feeling

I was driving to pick up Lucca this afternoon and I felt high as a kite. Why is the detox making me feel like someone slipped me some really good drugs? Am I enjoying myself? This is wierd. Of course, it is only day 2, day 13 might feel a little different.
With all the [...]

Psyllium Husks=Bark Dust

Here I am with my thick glass of “Long Life Cocktail”- 2 full tablespoons of psyllium husk in 8 oz of cran water. How do people drink this stuff? The label on the container actually warns you about chocking. No joke. Imagine scooping up a fist full of bark dust from the playground and [...]
