A Post About Nothing!

 Yay!

I get to say whatever I want, and not care about whether or not I thought it through or not!

Tom and I have been dieting a couple weeks, primarily drinking fresh juice from our juicer. Very low carb, no meat, bread or processed foods from cans. Just fresh whole fruits and vegetables, juiced, swirled and iced. Because of this, it's been challenging trying to feed us dinner every night because so many foods we used to love are off limits now. But when I put my mind to something, my stubbornness pays off, and I don't quit. That is how I got through fashion school. I just put my nose to the grindstone, and plow through it somehow. I'm a bitch to adversity.

It does help, however, to have one cheat day per week. And yesterday was that day. Mexican food, pizza, ice cream, churros and how! We surfed on cheesy, sugary pillows floating in puddles of lard and unabashed happiness. It was great.

A bunch of great things happened shortly after we started juicing/dieting. My under eye circles and bags went POOF! My skin cleared up. I started losing weight. I had more energy, and motivation, which is always welcome in my world.

After a day of cheating, though, my under eye bags/circles come back with a vengeance. I spent a good chunk of my morning trying to cover them up with three kinds of concealers. Poop.

By the way, we're still juicing. I know the way I worded it above was past tense, but it's still happening. I'm just too lazy to go back and fix it. :)

Be Great Today!
I'm not sure what we're going to do today. Tomorrow we have to go to farmer's market for more fresh veggies and fruits. Also, there's a lady there who sells fresh dates, and they're so freaking good that I'd choose them over a candy bar any day.

Everyone have a great day! Do something awesome!
