  1. September 4: The Dreaded Day 4

    Day 4 is upon me and it is as hard as any other day 4 I've had. Cravings, bad mood, tired--pretty much the usual detox. It doesn't help that my house happens to sit on the surface of the sun. It is so hot I have no energy to cook or eat. I hear rumors that it will be cooler tomorrow. One can only hope!

  5. Half a month!

    Happy two-week anniversary to MEEEEEE!






    Yeah, that's right. Fourteen days. Double-digits, baby.

    I even went out to eat with my family and behaved. Do you know how painful it is to order a salad (dressing on the side, no croutons) at The Cheesecake Factory?!

    But I feel top-notch. We figured out a few new dishes this week that have made everything just as exciting as it was in the beginning. I hope to continue that trend...
