day 5 & 6

I had a really full weekend so I haven't had a chance to sit and post. This won't be a long one as it's 9:23 Sunday evening.

I am still juicing. I find things get hairy if I don't keep on top of the hunger and stay ahead of the game. When I forget to get something in my belly is the real danger zone.

Last night I was at a murder mystery party and there was FOOD food and more food.
Chicken wings.
I love chicken wings.
Instead I picked the vegetables out of the pasta salad and told everyone that if they didn't like it, we couldn't be friends anymore. Luckily I have understanding friends.

Today I had a little coffee (not really allowed) before a hike and I immmmmmmediately had pains in my tummy. I also noticed that it's what has been causing a terrible discomfort on the bottom end (let your imagination run wild here).
Coffee. Frig off.

Otherwise, not much new. A few people noticed that I looked different - little less puffy and thinner through the face. I am noticing some body stuff come up - even though I am not focusing on it or trying not to talk about it too much I am hoping that the weight will drop.
I will tell you that I am down 12 lbs. I started at 167 lbs and I am now at 155 lbs.

That's really all for now. Feeling a bit tired today but more from just personal stuff than anything else. Actually glad that I am juicing right now because I feel like I can handle everything being throw at me with some clarity and perspective.

With Love and Gratitude,

I was Belle (From Beauty and the Beast, I won best costume :)

What do She-Ra and my Period have in common?

Part I: I am sitting here crying for no reason. Well...let me define "no reason". There is no apparent reason but I am sure there are infinite possibilities of reasons. I was wiping away the tears with vast exasperation when I heard a voice in my head say "Come on, pull yourself together!" and suddenly I found myself saying aloud in an effort to take a stand "NO!". (As I get older I talk to myself). Why should I have to? In my almost 30 years of experience, crying always had something to tell me, if I can shut up long enough to listen. When I think about it, I'm probably PMS'ing. At first I was mad about it I thought "Oh shit here we go..." but no, now I realize I want to try something new. I want to try and honour this, maybe it's important to see the feelings for what they are and not hide behind them. I am sure that PMS can show us strong but important emotions if we can find a safe place to cradle and then release them. ...

You better not pout...cause you'll get cat poop.

Every year around this time, my anxiety builds and bursts and it's not the kind of climax anybody is hoping for. I always tell myself that I am not going to allow it to happen. Well this year after a lengthy chat with my exceptional friend and coach - I gave in and allowed away . What you find when you allow is completely unexpected. I assumed that when I let anxiety, anger and disappointment (insert any negative emotion) dance around in my head like sugar plums that I was welcoming it and fostering it. I have come to realize that this is a myth and holds no value whatsoever. I recognized that my anxiety about Christmas has a lot to do with me holding on. Holding on to ideals and to the past/childhood with a white knuckle grip. I don't know how to let go, and move on. I am not 5 anymore and shits happens. People grow up and apart, parents split up, Santa turns to dust and at this time of year no matter how much you saved - money is fleeting. There is this constant naggi...

No, we're not married

What a roller coaster the last 6 years have been for Danny and I. I was madly in love with him from the moment I told him my favourite song was "I will Follow you into the dark" by Death Cab for Cutie, and he replied with "That's is my ringtone." I knew right away. He would later describe me as a "freight train", in reference to how overbearingly strong I came on. I wouldn't take no for an answer. We totally got off on the wrong foot and he avoided me at first. Even though my friends said "he's just not that into you" I pressed on, determined to reel him in. I bought a car in 15 minutes one sunny Sunday afternoon so that I could pick him up for a date the next evening. That way he couldn't say no, I would just show up. I then proceeded to go and buy $200 worth of CD's of bands that I barely knew or liked because he had told me he was "into music". I remembered some musician specific shirts he had and bought so...
