1st Complement...

"You look so thin!"

Happy Hour...

...not for one who is on a detox!  Hard to pass up a Margarita, chips & salsa but even harder to watch everyone enjoy.  If I wasn't such a lady I would beat someone down for a taste of guacamole!

Day seven...


Week 1 of the Whole Living detox is in the bag!  I made it through Mama Camping thanks to Jeffrey cooking and prepping my meals.  How do I feel?  Great!  I don’t know if it’s my new eating lifestyle or the fact I’m still on cloud 9 since my divorce.  Physically, I still suffer from a runny nose and itchy eyes but that could just be my horrible allergies.  I might have to up my allergy medication to twice a day but thinking I will wait until after the detox.  Who knows it could be food related.

The food last week wasn’t that bad… yes it lacked a bit of flavor but all totally edible.  So far my favorites have been the Stir Fry, Sweet Potato Stew, Beet Hummus, Cherry Date Oat Bars and the simple Green Beans with Lemon.  I’m not missing my morning coffee and have fallin’ in love with the Elixir Tea.  With that said, I am currently craving either a large slice of pepperoni pizza or a freshly backed chocolate chip cookie!  14 days to go….  

New beginnings...

Divorced!  It was official a few weeks back.  The last few months were pure hell.  It's still a roller coaster of emotion but I'm happy, really happy.  So happy I started the Martha Stewart/Whole Living 21 day detox.  I'm deep into day three, drinking my elixir as I type.  I feel fine.  Yes, I would love a tall latte or a spoonful of peanut butter but I wouldn't sell my 1st born for a taste so I feel it's a win.  I just finish the green been snack which was great and full of flavor.  

Tired you ask?  Yes, but I'm always tired.  I take a shit load of medication along with a constant fight with low iron.   

This weekend I'm taking Leo "mama camping"… we spend the night in a local hotel, swim, watch movies and order room service.  The ideal camping situation, correct?  I'm fearing the worst with handling the detox while my son shoves his face with popcorn and M&M's.  Battle of the bulge is turning into a war.
