no, I haven’t disappeared…

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

Well, I guess I kind of have.  BUT it’s not because I’ve completely fallen off the wagon (well…not entirely).
The original reason why I disappeared was because school started back for me and for my kids so the past few weeks have been CRAZY-busy!!!!
And….I have failed.  I have fallen off the wagon big time.  I don’t [...]

weekend report

Posted by: londonjulz In: General| Life

Nope I haven’t fallen into the blogger’s black hole.  I had the love of my life and 2 great friends come in town for the weekend so I’ve been busy!
I do need to report that, although I knew that over the weekend I was going to allow myself a couple of “cheats”, I failed.  I [...]

Nope, I didn’t fall off the wagon…

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

I didn’t write a blog yesterday because yesterday was SUPER busy!!! We woke up early to go to a town about 35 miles north of here to get my van checked out, ran by my school and bought my books for the coming semester, came home and met my daughter’s kindergarten teacher, went grocery shopping, [...]

2 WEEKS!!!!!!

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

When I first started this “detox”, I wasn’t sure how long I’d last on it. It’s definitely been one of those “day by day” things.  And look at me now, 2 weeks in! Amazing!
I will have to say that today I struggled a little.  My dinner was way bigger than it should have been (baked [...]

Day 13!  13 days!!!  I am just one day shy of 2 full weeks on my “healthy eating detox”.  2 FULL WEEKS! I’m really excited about tomorrow!

Day 12

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

I am currently fighting with every thing I have in my the urge to go heat up my Chicken Tikka Masala left overs.  If it was during the day, it wouldn’t be an issue as it’s the healthy version (and might I add, this is the best batch I’ve made since I started making the [...]

Day 11

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

Dear geez!  You’d think I came from an Italian family that would make the Real Housewives of New Jersey ashamed.  Long story short: my brother asked for a favor, I gave them my opinion.  His wife didn’t like my opinion and they have since called twice and left hate-filled voicemails and sent me a hate-filled [...]

Day 9 - emotions!

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

Wow.  Just when I thought that things were getting easier with the cravings…
I had a big family crisis invade my life and it came to a huge climax around 2:45 this morning.  All day today I have just wanted to bury myself in a vat of Chicken Tikka Masala and send myself into an orange [...]

Day 8

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

Day 8.  Things seem to be easier.  By things I mean shoving aside cravings.  Well, whenever I HAVE an unhealthy craving that is.  I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve been eating.  I bought some of the best grapes I have ever had in my life!  I was craving grapes tonight.  But I was all out.  So [...]
