Yep, that's how I thought my Finals would go. :)

Hello again

Even though it is late and I have a sunburn from Hell, I realized that I promised to do my weekly Blog. I was supposed to do it on Monday but life was crazy hectic then--so, I pushed the blog to today

There has been very little progress/motivation on the juicing diet over the last week. And before you say--"But you were all motivational and just do it! last week. Were you just lying?"
No. Actually hell no.

But there have been some factors. First--keeping a stock of fresh produce is not so cheap. It is especially a problem when my money goes whoring itself around with every Tom, Dick and Harry and leaves dust bunnies to keep my wallet company. We have a crap load of canned food(primarily beans) and I already only have a marginal liking for them now. If I whip then up into a pasty sludge--it's all over from there. Yuck!

Secondly--on my end...I have had 2 feverish small children and a sick hubby to take care of for a chunk of last week, on top of studying for the finals and finishing a hated group project. If you have never studied for Finals and want to know how it feels slowly pull your eyeballs out and then begin poking your brain with a fork through your bloody eye-holes. and for fun maybe put your head in a vice and squeeze it tight for a few days...Oh, and we mustn't forget the key factor--you must do this on little to no sleep and a butt-ton of coffee to the point where you feel ill. Now that you have that down--add to it 2 little cranky sick clingy children and a night spent dozing on a couch(giving me a horrid neck kink  and acting like kryptonite taking away my ability to move my head) and a messy germ filled house that needed scrubbed--add in a dash of one parent sick and down(hubby) and you have my last week. This is how I felt until yesterday.------------------------------------^

Third--From hubby's end...He has been sick for 3 weeks and finally went to the Dr. last week. There he found out that he has a sinus infection and bronchitis, so doc gave him and antibiotic and cough meds. Which anyone who has been on an antibiotic know that you feel even crappier for awhile before you feel better(Last night was the first night he didn't get up dozens of times throughout the night coughing). On top of being sick, tired and weak he has been finishing the crap-load of work for his PHD program and making a final for his Robotics class. Oh, and listening to me gripe about my group project and finals.heh. I thought this pic represented how my hubby felt.

So--we haven't been overly focused on maintaining a liquid diet. Not only because of the inconvenience factor but also because hubby said he needed solid food to fuel his body to fight the infections--which...does make sense.

On a positive note--we did have juice at least once a day--so we were still getting the vitamins and micro-nutrients. I mean would you rather have this?
or this when you're stressed, sick and blah??

Huh? See...

But fear not my followers,  we will be back full tilt now that we have a month off from classes and nice weather and after another chunk of weight falls off of us I will post some before and after pictures.
On that note, I am off to slather some more aloe on my torso and slide into my air conditioned bed to dream of a skinnier me(I totally won't be dreaming of cake. :D )
Until monday-ish....tah!
