Well, the cleanse was a quick one this time around for me. I couldn't handle it as easily as last time. Only went for 5 days.....but I still got the results that I wanted so I am happy and now I am back to exercising and eating REAL savory food again.
Casey and I have now found another thing to enjoy together.... WINE! We weren't big wine drinkers before, but I think it all started before the wedding when we had to test taste wines for the menu....it started to grow on us. So now we are starting a collection and evenings that we are together we break em out and start trying em! It's so much fun seeing what foods they go with; I already have some favorites!
I even have an app on my iPhone where I rate all the wines we try so we can remember which ones to re-buy in the future!
And I can't wait to go on various wine tasting tours this summer! We did that once before and it was a delicious experience!!!
Well, hopefully it won't be so long until the next post. Life just gets in the way sometimes I guess!

Food D-Day....
Happy New Year!
I haven't written for the past week or so as we've been so busy cleaning and organizing our condo and our lives. Weeding out the old and trying to figure out what to bring in or do that is new. It's been quite the process, and we are by no means done!
However, today was another interesting day of decisions.... what to eat for our "last supper"?
After countless meals, sweets, parties, cocktails and countless lbs. gained since the wedding...... our bodies have had enough and it is time to start over!
So we decided that today was our last day to "pig out" so to speak. I can't tell you how long we went back and forth as to where and what we were going to eat! You would have thought it was truly our last meal! We truly are foodies! (At least in our eyes).
So another day at the mall to see a movie....we shared a delicious cheesesteak sandwich and fries for lunch. During the movie was the usual kettle korn and junior mints combo, as well as some small cinnabon minis. For dinner we enjoyed another delightful, delectable meal at our favorite Asian bistro, Sino. Oh, and don't forget the ice cream and cookie from Ben & Jerry's afterwards. Now this overwhelming swollen feeling is making me so incredibly excited for my cleanse.
This cleanse is the same one I did in April of 2008, which helped my weightloss of 40 or so pounds before the wedding. Good timing eh!?
But now, I just want to feel normal again. I want clearer skin, more energy, jeans that fit and don't suffocate me and the ability to exercise or run without having to stop every 5 minutes. That's all. I just want it back to the way I used to be.
I'm not all quite certain as to what Casey's plan/regime will be. Except that he has missed Gold's Gym and cannot wait to return. Now that we are doing this both together, I think it will be a piece of cake! (ugh, but boy, I never want to see a piece of cake again for quite a while!) I'm so glad that he is so supportive. He would NEVER do this cleanse that I do, but he loves that I do it because he see that it makes me feel better. Which is absolutely 100% true. It stops my cycle of eating TERRIBLY.
So here is to good health, good eating and keeping great goals. Hoping this time around is easier and even more successful than the last!
P.S. Did I mention that I was surprised with flowers when I woke up this morning? Yeah....he's quite the guy. :)
