MOTHERS DAY AFTERMATH - LAST DAY OF FRUIT FLUSH

yesterday was mothers day :) a lovely day indeed. we woke up a bit late and hurried off to church, so without my usual breakfast smoothie, i guess you can say my first meal of the day was at around 1 ish, and it was a sapporo beer (yowza) and a big gigantic 'asian invasion' sushi roll !!! filled with veggies, crab, deep fried shrimp, avo and wrapped in the nori and covered with rice and more avo :)

on next to dessert about 4 ish...with david at arrufo's. we had a coffee liquor with 3 different alcohols (liqours) and a chocolate mouse cake. i almost felt like i was going into some type of diabetic panic about a half hour later! and to top of the day....pizza from tj's. it was veggie at least. ugh.

so you can say this weekend was a big 'blow it' weekend for me....however, i enjoyed every bite and am not going into 'beat myself up ' mode :) it was an emotion weekend from the stand point of the horrible end to the rift with my dad...and i really could not focus on the feeding the kids, my emotions and the celebratory kind of restaurants we ended up at. it was all a bit overwhelming and i got really off task. however, both friday and sat morning i did have my green juice and today i am doing a 'flush', and back on task.

last night i had my smooth move tea with a whole lemon squeezed in it and it was so delicious. i also indulged in a tbl of almond butter with real raw honey on apples and raisins mixed in, to aid in my 'morning cleanse'.

i am on day 2.5 of my P and i am happy to report how light it is. the first 2 days have been really light and no discomfort at all. today i am having some cramping here and there,(actually the heaviest of all) but nothing too bad, a little fatigued, but i am doing my juicing all day til dinner when i will have a huge romaine detox salad :)

i enjoy eating this way so very much. i feel better and my skin is becoming so soft and my eyes are starting to brighten. i have been 75% raw for almost 2.5 months now. i have no desire to go back to the sad diet. i love feeling light and losing this weight.

saturday afternoon was interesting. my 'honeymoon' jeans which have fit really well lately but still a bit too tight to button at the waist (that part of my body is not releasing as quickly) was tight in the am, but by afternoon i was buttoning them just fine. :) ???? what gives? how funny huh?

after a dinner of a veggie burrito and that horrible detestable 'tea room food' ack - i was needing to unbutton them again. over all i can see the change in my body now :) i am just hoping to hit this hard with my bday coming up!!! my goal is to be able to fit into a size 6 very comfortably at that waist. i am a size 6 every where else...right now, but my hips! they are still out of proportion for my body...but i can see some definition in my arms now :) i am so motivated to keep up the good work i am doing.

my progress:

more energy
better mood
happier
clear headed
better body image
softer skin
no bad breath
losing weight
younger feeling
younger looking
healthy example to my family/children
