I Can Do This.... I think I can I think I can

-

Ok... for those of you who don't already know, and that is probably most of you, I am on this 7 day diet. Why do I need to diet??? I'll just get it all out now. It is because I have gained 30 pounds since November! Pretty saddening! So... I am on what is called the cabbage soup diet! Don't gross out it is actually a really good soup! Here is a link to the site so you can see what I am going through lol. I am on my second day, (Veggie Day) and am surprised I made it this far with all the distractions being thrown at me (chicken and dumplings for dinner last night, burritos at practice, and ice cream at home. Sob*!) But I can do this! Nicole is also doing it, but is 2 days ahead of me, so she is on her banana and milk day. Some pretty interesting combinations!! So the main reason for this diet is to lose 8-10 pounds... I can do this... If I keep telling myself that maybe I will believe it! Mmmm these carrots are delicious haha! I will keep you updated on how this is progressing and whether or not I actually cave in!! Oh dear, and there is a grad party tonight and there will probably be WONDERFUL Mexican food because the mom is a wonderful cook! Pray saints pray! I'll be the little engine who kinda sorta thinks she can but is not too sure!

Would you kindly explain the donut box with nothing left but the crumbs I found in your car, next to the empty BIG MAC wrappers. :-) Oh wait that was mine. J/K Good luck with it.

Yeah, see I would never make it on that diet. Even though I am a vegetarian. . . I am not THAT into vegetables. You can do it though! lol

Cabbage Diet? Isn't cabbage known to cause...shall we say...more gastric activity than normal? Just wondering. I thought maybe they just had a scientific breakthrough in which they discovered that weight is not caused by fat, but rather trapped gas??? LOL Sorry, I couldn't resist the temptation.

Uh, good luck with that!

HAHAHAHA!!!! It really isn't bad as far as the...well...you know. LOL. Seriously! AND I prefer not to call it a diet but an eating program. People are less likely to criticize when you call it that instead of a diet. Stick to it my dear for, as you know, the queen of food has made it thus far and so can you! I miss my rice and meat and bread and tortillas and pitas and eggs and french toast and...do you get the hint?

I only feel like I am on my dad's water pill rushing to the restroom every few minutes! Is this what it feels like when your pregnant and the baby is on your bladder??? Strange! Lol! But I did survive tonight's Mexican food tempations!!! I had salsa (made with vegetables) and cabbage and carrots! lol I talked myself through it of course!!! lol

Man, this must be a pretty crazy "eating program" if it makes you talk to yourself. I'd seriously think about dropping the whole thing. J/k I guess I should be encouraging you though, so...um...flatuate the fat away! LOL ;-p

Actually, you've inspired me to do research and I'm in the midst of creating a post on my blog regarding the subject. You are a great source of inspiration, I owe you! Thanks! LOL

What Day is it???

One of the reasons I HAD to write a new post was because if you would scroll down JUST a bit, there are 45+ comments on the last post!!! LOL so I figured why not write a new post and allow a more easily accessible comment view... Cuz you know my fingers were just getting so tired of scrolling all the way down to the bottom to see the newest comment! ridiculous!!! Anyway, have you ever woke up and wondered what am I doing up???? Who am I, where am I??? WHY??? Lol, well if you haven't one day you may. Today I woke up wondering why I couldn't see, and where I was and wanting to go back to bed. Lol "alas" (that was for Bekki) I found out the reason why. I had forgotten to take my contacts out last night (stupid right? But it does happen to the best of us) and they had decided during the night that they did NOT like my eyes. So I tried to rewet them and put them back into my eyes. But nooooo.... My right eye took it just fine, my left eye threw a fit. So here I was with a ...

Hallelujah From the Valley

A few months ago, a young lady from my school introduced the song below during chapel to the student body. If anyone has a right to sing these words, she does. As this young lady recently lost her mother in a long struggle with cancer. Loss is something none of us take well. No matter what it may be. Some losses seem small to others, but to the person who has lost, it is larger than life. Whether it be the loss of a parent, a sibling, any family member, a friend, a pet, a pastor, a job, a house the list goes on. We try to rationalize the situation... But, sadly, our finite minds cannot comprehend the reason the Lord decided to allow this pain into our lives. Many blame God for so many different reasons, but God knows how much you can bear, and how far He will allow. Job was tortured, torn, accused, cursed at, heartbroken, and yet he still uttered those words that we can't even begin to think in hard times "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the ...

Yet ANOTHER Eventful Weekend

Ok, so Friday was not so eventful. Other than everyone in the house was up around eightish...ish...ish. Lol. And then started cleaning.... and cleaned.. and packed and cleaned and packed. That was pretty much all we did all the way up until 10 something that night! (well... with a few breaks here and there). Then Saturday, we got up to the smell of my mom cooking and baking. I told Nicole it smelled like Thanksgiving in my house! We ended up having some close family friends over, the Jones family, the Sablan family, the Davis family and the Lee Jr family (lol Tiffany Randy and babies). The food was wonderful and the fellowship marvelous! Lol when Tiff got there I stole her newest addition, Ryan, he is SUCH a doll! And then took Baby Randy for awhile. It was so funny watching him crawl all over the place, and then go up to the dogs and get scared and try to get away as fast as he could! It was fun! Well they were all gone by about 5:30, and Bekki had told me that we wanted to meet at...
