Rule one - be kind to yourself...
Yesterday I wanted to do all liquids...but I had some local corn on the cob and hand made fresh mozzerella...Am I hating on it...no not really - I was able to avoid processed sugar, alcohol and any crap food.
This morning I meant to wake up very early and ride my bike but slept till 8:30 instead.. I guess I need it as I'm detoxing sugar..
Today's plan - Bike ride - beach and smoothies...
Have I mentioned my vitamix? Holy crap - I am drinking a smoothie that has
1 cup rice milk
1 scoop spirutine
1 scoop Green Vibrance
1 cup fresh local blueberries
.5 cup frozen raspberries
1.5 cups local organic kale
WOW~ its like drinking a farm stand with a floater of sunshine! The kale is completely mixed in and undetectable...!
Here's to marching on and taking care of this body....

Where I'm at
Hi ...so here is whats going on.
I weighed in yesterday at 172. I have been in denial I guess and living like I can eat, drink and party like all the cool kids.
Big Mistake...
Here's the thing...I had surgery so that I could live "out loud" with confidence and not have to think about my body or be held back by my weight....
Although I am heavier that I would like - I am living the life I want.
I'm sure its a combination of being smaller, older and wiser...in my 20s I was so embarrassed all the time by my body..now - I'm not that bothered.
But what does bother me is knowing that fall clothes are right around the corner, and someones jeans are not going to fit. I think its almost worse than summer clothes season....the sundress can hide many sins....
So here's what I propose...yet again
Simple eating...
Today's goal -Going back to liquids today....re-booting
I've said it before but this time I mean it...no liquor, beer or wine.
Seriously - LBG said it best, she did not drink during losing phase...it works - it worked for me in the past.
I have definitely been smelling the roses and enjoying the summer a bit too much...

Waiting for the sun to come up...
That - I cant sleep, life is stressing me out and my belly hurts because of the stress - feeling.
I woke up at 4am this morning. Fooey. The first thought that popped into my head as I was tossing and turning was: I need to get on my bike...I will feel better once I beat the shit out of myself for a few hours on the road.
So I'm up just waiting for the sun to come up and watching country music videos...a new habit of mine...was never really a fan of the country music but now am slightly digging it.
I'm scared to get on the scale...I don't feel huge..but I've been living on shit food, so there's that.
My biz partner got me the best gift ever - a frikkin VITAMIX! seriously! I am in blender heaven!
Thanks for the love of my dress from the post yesterday...Banana Rep. maxi dress + spanx makes for a nice look.
Cat had a great post about letting go - I'm going to put all my drama on an island and move on.

oh hi....Its me ... the blogger who can never complete a challenge..
I suck...
Blogging every day fell apart after my birthday extravaganza. What else has fallen apart? Just about everything.
I've not been working out much, junk food has been my main method of nourishing my body and I'm fighting with friends. It feels like I needed to do some editing of people in my life.
So I've been sleeping 11 hours a night to deal with all of it.
So looking forward to visiting Cat and Robyn next week! I need to get away.
My actual birthday was awesome - spent the day at the beach then went to Shelter Island for drinks and dinner.. with some new friends. It was awesome - I do think my band is too tight though...I get stuck on most everything that is not ice cream these days.
I have an appt with dr in August and will have some fluid taken out.

Blogging Every Day ~ Day 21 ~a Rant
Today's Topic ~ Rant about something. Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel (a pet peeve, a current event, a controversial topic, something someone does that really ticks you off)
Wow - finally permission get out my soap box and rant away!
Is this thing on? Ok here goes:
1. Buying dogs and pets....WTF! There are millions of loving rescues that need homes. Its madness that in this day and age people are still purchasing dogs from puppy mills, I mean pet stores.
Nothing is as cute as a mutt! Seriously it is beyond me.
2. Legalizing Ganja, the weed, herb, marijuana - Why is this a huge deal? I personally do not partake in the hippy lettuce but I have few people in my life who use it to curb anxiety and some other ailments - including cancer. I know that its legal in some states - go Colorado and Washington! But not here in NY. If it were legal the state could collect taxes and save money legal fees.
3. Legalizing gay marriage...- Ok its finally legal here in NY...so I've got less rant power behind that one... but love is love and its not a decision....if it were a decision, can you recall the day you decided you wanted to be straight? yeah..me either.
4. Skinny people that can eat french fries and have only on girl scout cookie and let the box sit for weeks only have one cookie a day...not sure that is rant worthy but its annoying.
5. Close talkers and standers....Not sure if its a NYC thing but it seems like when its summer time all the visitors are all on top of each other - and me when I'm waiting on line...WTF man - back up off my personal space bubble
6. Verizon Wireless...seriously I can't handle them...I just got a random bill for 300 bucks for canceling something..that I never did...Man, you are a big company - get your SH together - I would dump you but AT&T is worse.
7. Enough ranting ..its putting me in a bad mood.
Happy Monday and focus on the goodness. Happiness is a choice!
I leave you with photos of the best rescue mutts on the planet!
