Day 13, 14 and 15- I Caved x 2- Que?

Yes, I caved.  This weekend I was supposed to go no food and all shakes.  It just didn't happen.  But, I am ok with it.  I didn't go crazy and drive thru Riverside Pizza and and eat a large cheese pizza (oh man, does that sound good!).  No, I had a shrimp salad on Saturday night and last night I had a curry mushroom broth based soup with a small salad.  So there!  I'm human.  But the funny thing...I still lost a pound!  So down 7 lbs.  Holla!  But the funny thing is, someone else caved and he got busted- Mr. Fred.  Now, Fredly is being the supportive hubby during this cleanse.  He's eating the healthy no carb meals, just not doing the shakes.  He's also eating hershey kisses during the day.  Yes, chocolate!  I was packing his lunch Saturday morning and when I opened his cooler.  There they were- this huge, bag of hershey kisses looking up at me.  I think one was saying, "come on cleanse lady, I know you want one- do it! I dare you."  So when I confronted Mr. Fred, he had this shit eat grin on his face. Yep, busted.  But hey, it's ok; it's not like I am making him do this.  Plus, he's lost 5 lbs in two weeks, so shout out for Fred. 

I really tried to keep myself busy, because it's no task just to eat one meal either.  Saturday, I went for a run and man it felt great!  But...and I am sure this has happened to someone; I pushed play on my iPod and there it was- THE RED LIGHT!  NOoooooooo!  How am I going to make it through this workout? Oh please, please, please...I need music.  It's quite comical when you are jammin to G n R and it's "Welcome to the Jungle- BATTERY LOW, we got fun and games". This happened during each of the 8-10 songs I ran to, but the battery made it.  Whew!!

Next up, my budster Cindi (with an "i") has been begging me to go to live theatre with her.  We have a really good (so I hear- and now experiencing it, yes they do) local theatre in Lawrenceville.  For two years, she has been trying to get me to go to the theatre with her, but I just wouldn't go. The reason is I was traumatized during my first marriage (in more ways than one...LOL) by being dragged to the opera, Carmen.  OMG!  That was the worst thing I have ever sat through.  I actually left at intermission....alone. (Hmmmm, no wonder the marriage didn't last long- I couldn't even make it through an opera with him- HA!) Anyway, I would rather sit and listen to Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits on repeat for 4 hours, strapped in a lawn chair with mosquitos biting at my legs than go to any live theatrical production.  But I caved. I CAVED- this is twice this weekend. This time, for my friend who needed a date for girls night out.  Why night, right?  What could be so bad?  WELL, I WILL TELL YOU- IT WAS IN SPANISH!!!!  Oh my lord!!!  Maybe the title, Miss Pina Colada,  was a hint.  But I was a trooper and made it through the whole comedy.  It was a cute play, and they did have subtitles, but they were up on a big screen and to the left of the production.  My neck still has a frickin crink in it!  And...the other funny piece- those that were Spanish speaking (I should have been tipped off by who was in the audience) or bilingual, were laughing, but I had to wait for the subtitle to flash on the screen, so if I wanted to laugh, it was too late.  Oh well.  But we did laugh about it.  She even bet her daughter (who knew that I didn't care for live theatre) that I would either love it or hate it.  Let's just say I had a great time spending time with my bud.   ;)

Any whoo, 13 more days to go!!!  And today I was back to one shake a day and FOOD.  I am a very happy girl.    Later!
