I'm TIRED!

Ugghh!! So, we just had a busy weekend. Matt went out of town camping so I had the boys all weekend by myself. I also watched my nephew for a few hours Saturday night (he just slept but I had to stay awake until my sister got here to pick him back up), and my BIL got baptized yesterday and I took the boys to church so I could be there for him for that. Then, since my dad was in town, we went to lunch after church. After nap time Matt got home (saw the puppy- still nameless I think!) for the first time, and then we had to leave to go to my nephews 2nd birthday party at the park. We were there for a few hours, then headed home, put the boys to bed, and then Matt and I were finally able to just talk and spend some time alone.

And THEN, Matt keeps me up most of the night snoring! I don't know if his allergies were bad since he had stayed outside a lot this weekend or what, but it was horrible! Then the puppy started chewing on a bone on the floor right next to my side of the bed, so I put him in the bathroom to sleep and he whined for almost 20 minutes (and Matt was only awake for about 5 of that and then he was snoring again- I have NO idea how he slept through it! LOL) Of course Blayden was up at 7 and I had to get up to mess with him and the puppy, and then the boys. I'M TIRED!!!! (And I'm even more tired after writing all of that! LOL!!!)

Anyway! So, I did this liquid "21 pounds in 21 days" detox diet last week. I've lost 8 pounds and have kept it off over the weekend of not really staying on it. So not too bad, I think!! I'm getting back on the diet today except I'm going to modify it a little. You are supposed to drink fresh vegetable juice once a day (I have a juicer) but the last 2 times I've made it I was NOT able to drink it! I makes me gag BADLY! Even the smell makes me sick to my stomach. Yuck! I know that I'm not getting all of the calories and nutrients that I need by not drinking it though, or not eating the soup (also makes me gag- it's just a veggie soup that is cooked then blended in the blender so it's all mushy.)

So, I'm going to stay on the liquid part of the diet during the days and then have a salad with fresh, homemade dressing on it (all natural, no preservatives, etc) with other veggies for dinner. At least that way I can get the nutrients from the veggies, but my body will have to work a little harder to digest the food, but not as hard as it would if I was eating like I used to! Hopefully I'll still be able to loose weight and feel really good (the first 2 days of the diet I felt GREAT!! I've also been able to sleep better than I have in a really long time.) I'm going to continue to get the colonics once a week for awhile (I go in this morning at 10:15) as I really think that helps to clean everything out. I feel so much better afterwards, it's crazy!! (It's still a little gross to me to do it though, and not to mention a little embarassing still too although the girl that does it for me is great with it all!!)

Anyway! This ended up longer than I planned, just talking everything out over here! I'd better get going though because I still need to wash some more clothes, and do a few things before my mom gets here to watch the boys.
