Waiting...

I'm soo frustrated right now that I have yet to receive my cookbook I ordered 3 weeks ago! I ordered it off Amazon, and was supposed to take 7-10 days. Every other day I'd look at the "track package" and it finally just was sent to Denver! So, I'm hoping with the next day or two I'll get it. And that review may not go so well. Kinda ridiculous.

So, the cleanse is over and it was soo hard. I didn't commit all the way. I had chicken on day 4, that night anyways I thought it was close enough to day five. I really hadn't felt full in 4 days after eating only fruit and veggies constantly through the day. But the point is to burn more calories than you take in while detoxing the body. The first couple days, I had a headache, but I think that was from a withdraw. I didn't have any coffee! But after that, I did feel more clear, and just felt good, except for being hungry for chicken! I couldn't wait until chicken day. And on day 7 I couldn't eat cabbage soup all day, so I had a little more chicken. Which is ok depending on which guide you go by. So, for the big reveal on how much weight I lost...7 lbs. About a pound a day. Although, since then i gained back a couple lbs. :( Joel lost 7 lbs as well, but was insistent on eating a cheeseburger afterward. So we did (don't recommend doing btw). We both felt soo sick afterward. Just don't cave in! And try to stick to the plan as much as possible for best results.

So that was about a week ago, and today we decided to go to a chili cook off at the fall festival. I love a good chili, and figured it was ok. Just a little bit every so often. But, I don't take spice very well so I didn't eat a whole lot of chili. But holy moly my lips burned for a couple hours afterward! So I just voted for the least spicy one, it had more flavor anyways.

And, I started my new job at US Bank. Which I love so far. The people are very nice, and that makes going to work more easier! It's only five hours a day so I can still spend enough time with Cora and get dinner ready by 6. Surprisingly for me, I missed working. I don't think I can be a stay-at-home mom forever! I love that I had the opportunity to stay home with Cora while she little little and would do it again for any other children we have. But, I feel like I need to accomplish something career-wise.

This is getting much lengthier than I intended, so until next time!

At the Fall festival, they had activities for kids, so Cora decorated a mask!

Haha! We got some frozen yogurt after eating spicy chili. And she had a mouth full of something saying, "CHEESE!"
