Juice Fast: Update

So, I have skipped a couple daily updates about the juice fast. I got tired of repeating myself about how crappy I was feeling and how I just wanted it to be over. Make no mistake. Those things are still true. However, it is now Day 9, and the end is finally in sight. I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be the most difficult day, because part of me is like, "You made it nine days. Whatever. Let's just call it good." If I were doing this in private and without telling anyone, that is undoubtedly what I would do. But I made the choice, for better or worse, to share this experience with my husband and whoever happens across this blog. So when I think about just calling it quits (about every ten seconds), I also think about people blowing up my blog with comments (because that happens all the time) saying things like, "You quitter!", "I used to respect you but now I think you suck!", and "See if I ever listen to anything you say again, hypocrite." So, I plow onward.

I have to tell you though, I am fantasizing more than ever about what I will eat when I can finally have solid food again. Should I make a delicious sandwich? Pizza? Steak? Should I take it easy and just have a salad? There are just so many choices.

I have a feeling I am going to go back to real food and never look back. On the upside, I am putting together a list of delicious new recipes to try and tweak for the fall. So that will be exciting.

One more day! Wheee!

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 \ˈī-rə-nē also ˈī(-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 —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...
