Today is the first day of our juice fast. For the next 2 weeks (if this doesn't kill me sooner) I will be consuming only juice from fresh fruits and veggies. I have decided to throw in raw veggies and fruits to crunch on when I feel like I need to chew something. This is an attempt to detox my body and try to get healthy. I think. Or it is a suicide attempt. I can't tell yet.
Oh sweet baby Jesus I am hungry. Although my juice concoction this morning was delicious, it was not filling. Between the juice and the 32 oz. of water I have taken in, all I can do is dream of cupcakes and pee. A lot.
Ok, I am not actually dreaming of cupcakes. As a matter of fact, I was just offered a cake ball and turned it down. The surprising part is, I really didn't want it. I already feel more alert and vitamin filled. But I am hungry. Those baby carrots are calling my name. 12:00 cannot come fast enough. I never thought I would be so excited to drink green sludge and eat a carrot.
Tune in tomorrow for episode 2 where I lose my mind and bbq my cat.

Sadly, my cookies do not remotely resemble the lovely picture above. What I ended up with was a crumbly mess of crap, as indicated below.
Doesn't look so bad? You haven't seen the close-up...
I thought maybe my second tray would come out a little better. I was just aiming for edible, but this is what I ended up with...
As much as I begged him not to, Bob insisted that he try one since I worked so hard on them. That'll teach him to be polite.
All in all, I'm gonna have to give baking a big thumbs down.
I will leave the baking the Entenmann's from now on.

Yes folks, it's true. I applied to Target for a second job...and they said no. No offense to anyone who works at Target, but wtf? I review legal contracts all day and design insurance policies from scratch to cover all aspects of those contracts, yet Target doesn't think I have what it takes to stand behind a register and ring up $15 sweaters! This is a sad, sad day.
In biggest loser news, I gained 8oz. this week because I love sweets so much. And they make me feel better when large retail chains reject me. Looks like I might actually have to go to the gym this week...

We had our second weigh in this morning and I lost another 2.8 lbs making the total loss 4.4 lbs over the past two weeks. Not too shabby! My co-worker is on a very strict diet - 4 egg whites for breakfast, turkey on whole wheat for lunch, and steamed chicken with a 1/2 cup of brown rice for dinner. After all that suffering, she lost .6 lbs this week.
I happily ate my oatmeal this morning and made yum-yum noises. Oh yes, this competition is getting serious!

This morning was weigh in and I am down 1.6 lbs. I would feel a lot better about that if Jill hadn't lost 7 lbs in he first week! She is on a hardcore diet and is hungry all the time, so she should be crashing and burning any day now. Everyone else lost about 1 pound with the exception of two people that actually gained a couple of pounds. I will be stepping it up at the gym this week and pushing myself a little harder. The weight loss is nice, but I really just want to win.
Bob lost about ten lbs. this week and he is not even in the contest - bastard! When that man decides to do something, he does it.
I am making a vow now that I will not weigh myself again until next Monday. I am driving myslef crazy by stepping on the scale at the gym before I work out and then right after. All I know is my pants are big and that make me happy.

Day 3 was hard, but I am proud of myself for resisting temptation. I was fine until mid-day when my sweet tooth was trying to bring me down. I was good and did not run to Sarah's desk for a piece of chocolate. Then came the evening when we arrived at Bob's parents and saw the 42 batches of cookies she just baked. I am proud to say I did not have any...although I wanted one.
Today was the first day this didn't feel like a chore. I happily ate my oatmeal this morning and had my yogurt 3 hours later. I had a small portion of Bob's chicken chilli for lunch and am snacking on cucumbers as I type this. While I was in the ladies room this morning I noticed that the pants I am wearing (which were tight on Monday) are now loose. I guess I'm doing something right. Tonight I will attempt to step up the cardio now that I understand how the controls on the treadmill work.

I had so many last minute items to attend to that I was too busy to be hungry...until about 5 minutes ago. An angel just handed me an apple so all is well again. Bob spent all day making what I'm sure will be a delicious chicken chilli. Today will also be my first day doing hard core cardio - god help me.

Can someone please explain to me why I received three voicemails and 1 email this week from people responding to my inquiries? Why they hell did it take these people so long to get back to me? If I was this shitty at my job I would be fired in a heartbeat.
I hate stupid people. That is all.
