So, I’m not sure if I shared how much trouble I’ve been having with my Mayo Clinic visualization of the baseball, tennis ball, hockey puck, deck  of cards and dice. If not, well I do have trouble.  But, I may have found solution! 

Someone invited me to do the 21 Day Fix(a Beachbody production), which I am not going to do since I work out at a gym, but I looked into it and it’s essentially the same thing as the BMO/Mayo Clinic diet, as far as portions go, I am already doing, but instead of comparing your portions to common object, you use their really tiny containers.

Oy!  This is going to be tough. The portions are a little different in that the dice in the Mayo Clinic diet are your fats, which is represented here but the orange containers and the red is your protiens which seems a bit bigger than 1/3 of a deck of cards, but close enough I say!

Maybe it won’t be so bad since I am not eating for 8 more days… maybe my tummy will be shrunken by then.

Okay, so I am starting the cleanse again as of today.  I’m about halfway through day 1.  

My starting measurements are almost exactly like they were the last time I started the cleanse.  The difference is I’m almost 2 pounds heavier.

WTF?

 We did get the new dishwasher and garage fridge (yay!!) I had no idea that dishwashers were hard wired into the house.  Now I do.  I was also reminded that the installation fee is TOTALLY worth it.  I don’t know why I talk myself into DIY… 

Then, my husband, who is really not a DIYer got all cranky after the dishwasher episode and started in on me about the garage (which was admittedly bad since it’s basically a storage unit) and threatened to take every last thing in there to the dump – so of course I got up at 7 am and spent All. Darn. Day. working on said garage.  We took a SUV load to the Goodwill and a truck load to the dump.  All the yard sale items from the bedroom purge are neatly stacked and my son put together my golf storage rack while we were at the donation center so my golf stuff is nice and tidy now too.  

I should’ve taken pictures.  The transformation is impressive. Now I’m onto the pantry finally! Tomorrow is my last day of vacation 🙁 

I had big plans for this spring break.  Big. Plans. And. They’re all down the drain.  I am plagued by the Cold That Never Goes Away.  I’m so disappointed. 

I was planning to work out 2 hours a day.  And, I wanted to finish the upstairs declutter and begin on the garage.  I was also going to finish the kids photo albums and buckets.  It’s all I can do to get out of bed.

Also, I gained weight again.  What is wrong with me? I guess on the upside, I quit smoking today.  

apparently if you place Apple fragrance in the kitchen will help curb your appetite .  Who knew?! I will have to look for some soap aroma cocktails in appletini fragrance.
