Officially started the Paleo Diet

So it's official, as of yesterday I have committed myself to a 30 day diet. Not any diet the Paleo diet. Now no need to tell me I am crazy (because everybody already knows that), I am not doing this diet to lose weight but to cleanse my body and to start eating much healthier than I ever have before. I keep hearing over and over about how important diet is but I was never willing to give up the foods that I love. So this is what I am going to be eating 3 times a day. Every meal I must eat a lean meat, non-starchy vegetables, and fruit. That's what I can eat. That means NO dairy, milk, cheese, potatoes, corn, green beans, grains, sugar, etc. I am on day 2 so this should be interesting.
Day 1) Just started the diet and committing myself to 3o days of this. I am tired today. B: millet, boiled egg. L: green salad w/ almonds strawberries, chicken, carrots. D: hamburger Patti, steamed broccoli, apple, 3 cups herbal tea, water
Day 2) tired today. B: 2 eggs, 4 strawberries, 1 banana, 14 carrots. L: salad, 2 eggs, 4 strawberries, 8 baby carrots. D: pot roast, steamed broccoli, pineapple, herbal tea, water.
Day 3) tired today. B:2 boiled eggs, 13 baby carrots, pineapple. L: salad, 2 eggs, 3 strawberries, 1/2 apple, 7 baby carrots. D: Roast, broccoli, pineapple, herbal tea, water.
Day 4) tired today. B: nota (Dr. test) L: salad with 2 boiled eggs, apple. D: Roast, broccoli, carrots, 1 celery stick, 3 strawberries, grapes, herbal tea, water.
Day 5) Breakfast was very bland. I realize eggs are gross without salt, I tried other seasonings and pepper, but I had a hard time putting them down. Trying to figure out a tasty way to make my eggs. I have been losing weight pretty much every day which I am not thrilled about. I need to try and figure out healthy ways to fatten my diet.
B: scrambled egg, boiled egg, 1/2 apple, bananas, carrots, herbal tea and lots of water

My super crazy cool new purse! Genious!


So the base is solid black and there are a whole variety of shells that you can put around the base to match all of your outfits.....which I am a big fan of! It's magnetic and super easy to put on a new shell or to take one off. Whoever came up with this concept is a genious and I am super excited about it. No more using one purse that clashes with some of your outfits and no more pulling everything out of your black purse to put in your brown purse (I am too lazy for that option, so I tend to just not match) I started with these two shells but plan on getting many more to match my shoes and clothes. In August they will be retiring about 1/2 of their shells and getting new ones and those ones will only be $10!!! if you can't tell, I am pretty excited about this!!! (They also have larger bags)

Wow I should work for this company! that was a pretty good advertisement for them:)








My cute dogs

I was a smooth operator the other day and dropped my entire plate of spaghetti on the carpet while going to sit down. The dogs had a hay day and devoured it up, so I am glad someone was happy about the mess! It's just not that great that we have white carpet that I dropped it on:(
So I bought a bed for Gizmo and kept catching Buddy sleeping all curled up in his small bed, so I decided to buy Buddy his own bed that would fit him better, but.......they pretty much just sleep in each others beds. These dogs are so funny, I just love em!

Before and after pictures of our theatre room!


Stu's good friend owns an appliance shop up in Logan and he gave us this super sweet Pepsi machine/fridge for our theatre room! We ordered a popcorn machine like they have at the movie theatres and that should be here on Monday! We also have nacho trays and a nacho cheese sauce warmer, so pretty much we are set! Come on over for movie night!
