Juice Fast: Day Six

Just over the Hump.

Oh. My. God. I am so ready for this to be over.

It seems that whatever was keeping me stopped up has worked its way through. All day today I have been cursed with an upset stomach and, well, diarrhea. All day. I guess this is to be expected when you are power washing your insides, but that does not make it pleasant. I know that this is very personal information, and normally I would shy away from sharing something so disgusting and intimate, but I wanted to be honest about what is happening to me in case anybody reading this is considering doing something similar. I want them to know what they are in for.

Anyway. The end is in sight. So that is something to be thankful for. I have been fantasizing about the things I will eat when I am finished with all this. Mercifully, most of this will probably not come to fruition since I am finding myself less and less hungry as the days go by. Apparently my stomach is shrinking. I didn't weigh myself this morning so I don't know if I have lost any more, but we will find out tomorrow morning.

Four more days. Four. More. Days.

Zumba Night!

Okay, so, I haven't updated my blog about my weight loss every Tuesday night like I planned. But I am proud to report that not only have I continued to go to the gym at least thrice a week, I even convinced N to join it with me! The exercise thing is going a lot better. Today I even looked at myself in the mirror while I was zumba-ing! I don't think that I will ever be the kind of person who loves, loves, loves going to the gym, it does feel kind of good, kind of virtuous to get all sweaty and be able to tweet, "I am at the gym doing zumba!" For those of you who don't know, Zumba is the new fitness craze. I guess if you were to totally simplify things you would call it a type of aerobic class, but it is really so non-aerobic-y. There is not a lot of pumping, or jumping. It is 100% dancing. A little bit of salsa, a little bit of hip-hop, and tonight, even a little bit of ballet. It gets the heart rate waaaay up, and I always end up drenched in sweat, and best of ...

Words on Wednesday

I am too chatty to confine myself to no words on Wednesday. So instead I have decided that every week I will choose one special word to highlight and adore. Something obscure but useful. Something constantly misused. Maybe just something that sounds cool. I am starting off easy. This week's word is IRONY. iroĀ·ny   noun \ĖˆÄ«-rə-nē also ĖˆÄ«(-ə)r-nē\ plural iroĀ·nies Definition of IRONY 1 : a pretense of ignorance and of willingness to learn from another assumed in order to make the other's false conceptions conspicuous by adroit questioning ā€”called also Socratic irony 2 a : the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning b : a usually humorous or sardonic literary style or form characterized by irony c : an ironic expression or utterance 3 a (1) : incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result (2) : an event or result marked by such incongruity b : incongruity be...
