ONE WEEK!!!

Posted by: londonjulz In: General| Goals| Life| Menu

Sound the alarms, throw the confetti, and break out the…uh….fresh fruit!
This girl has made it an entire week on no crap/no junk/detox-ish thing.
Let’s run through a short list of the tiny amount of symptoms I have experienced this past week:
headaches
hot flashes (kind of…more or less the claminess)
jitteriness
oil seeping out of my skin
the good parts -
I [...]

Day 6

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

Day 6, another HUGE victory for me today…
It has been a while since my kids have had pizza.  Yesterday was a busy day of running around doing errands, cleaning, laundry, etc.  I decided I wanted to treat my kids by ordering pizza.
Now, I have a special weakness for pizza.  I will eat pretty much any [...]

Day 5

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

I had, what I consider to be, my most victorious day yet!!!
I’m making this short because I need to get some sleep, waking up early tomorrow.
Anyway - I’m a wedding photographer.  I had a wedding to shoot today/tonight.  We all know what wedding’s have; food and CAKE!
So, they had be booked for 7 hours.  I [...]

Day 4…yikes

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

So, I had weigh in this morning.  I was way happy with it.  My goal is to not weigh again until next Friday morning (I may have to have someone hide my scales). I find that if I weigh daily it ends up being a huge factor in how my eating for the day goes.  [...]

Weigh in day…drumroll

Posted by: londonjulz In: General| Goals| Weigh-Ins

Yep. 3 days ago I weighed 202.  Today I weigh 198.8.
Now. I will stop here and say that I have made drastic changes in how I eat simply in shocking my body and for me to gain some kind of self control over my cravings for the immediate and long-term future.  I haven’t been starving [...]

day 3

Posted by: londonjulz In: General| Goals| Life

Day 3.  And I have made it through another entire day with SUCCESS!!  No junk.  No crap.  No trash food.
Today, I never experienced a headache.  BUT, my skin on my face is SOOOOO oily!   I’ve seriously never noticed it being this oily before.  I have read that this can be a symptom of “detox”.  I [...]

I think it’s working…

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

Today was day 2.
I actually started getting a bit of a headache after lunch today (so it wasn’t due to the protein thing). It’s not a pounding headache that makes me want to just down Tylenol and go to bed - it was just enough of one to notice it and be annoying.  I’m wondering [...]

day one, done.

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

Today is day 2 of the self titled “detox”
Yesterday was my first day of no chips, sugar, junk, empty carbs, empty calories etc. I thought about it, a lot. Times I wanted to reach in the cabinet for the Cinnamon Toast Crunch.  Or thought about how easy it would have been to stop through the [...]

Here ’tis

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

My mom & kiddos & I took a trip about 20 miles south of where we live today to visit an orchard.  This was where I started my shopping for the day.  I bought:
3 pounds of blueberries (and they are huge and sweet and amazing!)
1/2 peck of peaches (again, from an orchard is the only [...]

Eat the Rainbow!

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

Nope, I’m not talking Skittles!
About a month ago I was talking to my kids about eating healthy.  And I told them that they need to eat the rainbow.  This idea intrigued them.  So, I explained about the colors of our food and that everyday they need to try to eat all the colors of the [...]
