Cleanse
Well I’ve decided it’s time to do a cleanse again. I’ve found myself craving chocolate and bad things and being more knoshy than I would like to be. It’s not normal for me anymore and I don’t like it. I feel like I need to do something dramatic to break the cycle so I’m cleansing. First step is an herbal total body cleanse. I picked up the kit at Whole Foods today. I’ve also grabbed a bunch of organic juices to use during the cleans itself. It’s very exciting. Not. Actually I’ve done these before with good results. It’s just a process - psychological as much as physical for me - that gets me back on track with my eating and my focus.
I’m finding Tim irritating as hell right now. Okay that’s not fair. He’s wonderful. But what’s irritating is that he’s down almost 10 pounds from last week. And he’s eating crap. I on the other hand am up like 2 pounds this week. I have been eating too much - but by and large it’s been too much good for me food. Like I said, I’m knoshy.
Anyway, he’s in the kitchen right now. He’s making this uber-garlic chicken for us for dinner. It smells heavenly in here right now. I’m glad we’re both eating this because holy cow it’s gonna be a stinky ol night around here that’s for sure. LOL
I did 5 miles at the gym today. Feeling very proud of that. It used to be a daily habit. Now it’s an exciting accomplishment. I really really really need to get a treadmill for the house. I want to be doing 5 miles a day no matter what and getting to the gym is getting harder and harder, and will only get more challenging as the work situation firms up. On the plus side there, I have about 2 miles built into my day once I begin commuting again. It’s about a half mile to the train from the house and a half mile to the office from the train station once I get to the city. So you know what, that is excellent news. I’m suddenly excited about that possibility too.
Golly I’m in a very positive mood today. It’s kinda odd. I’m not sure what’s driving it. Perhaps it’s the garlic that’s wafting through the house. I’m serious when I tell you it smells awesome in here right now. Must go sniff the boyfriend. 
Have a good weekend everyone. XO Ellen

Spring cleaning, spring cleansing. Welcome to the world where men have all the advantages in dieting. Life is so unfair. We should get over it….

Men!!! Disgusting, isn’t it! You are doing great though, keep it up!
Now I am craving garlic! Love your pics! I am doing well on new plan and feel SUPER!! I am 1 lb. from goal, but don’t really feel I have to reach any certain number. I keep losing inches in vital places….and have so much more energy. I am into soy now and barley, oh, I love barley! Don’t miss the dairy at all after seven weeks on new plan. Spring is coming and you will enjoy that walk to the train! You look great and the 25 lbs is awesome. Big hug, Marge
LOL!! You’re too funny Ellen!! Yes, I need a treadmill too….one of my goals is to have a home gym…one day I say, one day! Sounds like everything on your end is falling into place and that really pleases me. I wish you the absolute best lady! I’m very excited for the new and positive changes that are taking place in your life!
