I feel most like myself in pink.

This involves paying off old debt and cleaning up my credit history and score. This also includes selling my car and using a scooter or bicycle instead.

Okay, it’s day 6. Last nite, I had a can of tuna with a little mayo in it. It was 50% because I wanted it and 50% because I needed it. I could have gone to bed without eating it, but I made a bunch of croutons out of some day-old bagels from work. The croutons turned out yummy but I used too much butter. Yes, I tried a few. Big deal, they’re croutons. So I will probably pop a few when I get home tonite. I used butter, parmesan, garlic, parsley and salt/pepper. I froze them and they will last for 6 months so that’s cool. Anyway, standing over the oven and two trays of them baking was too much to resist. Hence the tuna. haha Man, I’m longwinded.

So my manager had me order a pizza tonite for him and his brother (who is very cool, by the way) and asked me if I was hungry. I said no, but I will order it for you and he remembered that I’m doing the cleanse. He said something along the lines of “Well, I will order all veggies in your honor” which I thought was cool and I told them they were good boys. He was all, “Thanks, MOM.” haha

So I am at 10 pounds lost, now!!! Awesome, right?! I don’t really see much of a difference yet so I’m not as excited as my exclamation points might indicate but I’m DEFINITELY more excited than I would be had I lost ZERO. ;)

The next mark I am looking forward to is 15 lbs. lost, which I anticipate will take about 5 days because my body is probably going into starvation mode (whatever the hell that means).

In celebration of the 10 pounds lost, I am going to do the salt flush tomorrow! Haha…seems like an odd way to celebrate, but I don’t work tomorrow so if it disagrees with my tummy badly, that’s okay because I will be home to handle it. Plus, what better way to express my happiness about losing weight by doing something that will result in more weight loss, equalling more happiness? :)

By the way, YES I AM monitoring my thought process in this whole matter pretty closely. I’m not going to be all obsessive and become anorexic or anything ridiculous like that. The idea is to be healthy in such a way that healthy routines become just that: routine.

Apparently, when I REALLY want to do something and find a way to hold myself accountable (like blogging or something else public and e-lame like that), I am capable of solidifying a routine in no time. In the last 6 days, I’ve gotten my routine of getting up, getting dressed and packing my lemonade-making supplied/appliances in one of my big cloth Sprouts bags and heading to work. I make the lemonade here so I can start with one bottle and refridgerate the other.

I even have one bottle (the green and blue one) designated as my “breakfast” bottle and the orange and pink one is for dinner. It’s not something I would lose my mind about if the routine were broken for whatever reason, but it’s little mental notes like this that I refer to that keep me in line.

Am I not the MASTER of run-on sentences? Sheesh.

Anyway, so a handful of croutons tonite and that’s good. I will definitely NOT give a detailed report on my morning tomorrow. haha So good for you and good for my pride and femininity. ;-p
