Monday, Monday...
I decided not to do the intensive 8 day cleanse because, quite frankly, it scared the crap out of me. Pun intended...Why not.
So now I'm doing the modified 30 day cleanse. Instead of drinking nothing but apple juice mixed with this vile packet of dirt five times a day and sipping on vegetarian broth whenever hunger strikes, I'm eating healthier and drinking just one apple juice with a vile dirt packet every day. Plus there are these pills....but who cares about that.
I was going to give up meat and dairy for the 30 days, but I've already blown the dairy part. I just cannot live without cheese. I simply can't. So I'm going to try the meatless thing and see what happens. And who knows? Maybe by the end of this thing I'll be a crunchy, granola-eating, non-shaving woman who is finally at peace with herself and at one with nature. I might take a part-time job at a half-price book store or Whole Foods, just so I can really LIVE this life. Those people who work there always intimidate me with all their enlightenedness. But after 30 days, I just might BE one of the enlightened. Maybe I won't even like cheese by then. We'll see. And if I lose the 7 pounds I've gained since surgery, that's just icing on the cake. Vegan cake.
I've been invited to drink margaritas on the patio for Fat Tuesday. I'm thinking that won't put me on the road to enlightenment. I'll have to meditate on that for a while before I make my final decision.

Besides cutting meat "cold turkey" could also cause you to become ill. Take your portions down to maybe once a week on meat. Crazy diets aren't the way to go. When you feel hungry even after a snack grab a glass of water or even decaff tea if anything it should hold you over for a few hours. I have found that to work for me. After my daughter was born I lost all of my weight (50 extra pound) in no time, but last year I put back on 20 of it and 6 inches in my waist, walking and lots of tea (extra bathroom breaks) really have done the trick for me. Hope all goes well for you.

Yes it is your body and you can do what you want. It's crazy, even my co workers are the same and it is usually people who don't really need to lose any weight such as yourself. But again you feel that weight you have gained. I am just saying "People love you just the way you are".

Hi Kelly! I was wondering if you have tried the acia berry? I am using that with the beginning of the atkin's diet and it is working well, I went from a size 24/26 to a 16 in 4 months and still going. I have 4 kids and a full time college student so when I actually get the time, I also walk a mile on the treadmill. It seems to be working for me! BTW you are beautiful and have a great body, I don't think you need to lose anything, but that's just me! Have a great week!

Kellie - just pretend you're Catholic for the next 40 days after tomorrow and make that your reason for giving up cheese! Glad you've found out what's been eating at ya. Hope you're feeling great soon.
Please post some pics of Emma Kelly! I want to see her with hair. ;-)

Kellie...i'm new to the area and so i haven't been listening all that long. and just recently did i join kiddnation and finally see who i'm listening to. i say all that to say this...you look incredible. you are NOT someone that needs to worry about their figure. have that margarita. life's too short to not enjoy the good stuff it has to offer.
fyi...i'm a massage therapist and very "enlightened"...but the biggest thing about being enlightened is balance. when you can find a balance between what's good for you and what's not (in all aspects of life) you will find that peace with yourself. not always easy to do and i myself don't always practice what i preach.
good luck in your endeavors!!
