5 down 5 to go

So last week I mentioned that I started the 10 day Advocare cleanse.  Well today marks Day 6.  I still have not stepped on the scale, but I hope I'm losing something.  I have done 3 work outs, but think only 2 of them count.  Friday I played volleyball, but that only counts as a work out if you are actually moving around.  I play with about 20 other women and we're not great at it.  We are getting better though.

The first couple of days of the cleanse I was hungry.  Screw that...I was HANGRY!!!!  Instead of giving up or giving in, I drank a little extra water (I'm moving my desk to the bathroom) and chewed a little gum. Then came the weekend.  This is usually my "Oh dear god I love wine" moment.  Not this weekend.  This girl packed snacks and planned ahead (YAY ME!)  I also filled any free time I had doing something.  This helps to not eat out of boredom.  I cleaned, did some laundry, played with my puppy, and baked.  Yep I said baked.

 

 

I made those delicious looking apple cinnamon rolls.  I got the recipe for Sallys Baking Addiction. They looked and smelled awesome.  I did not eat one single bite.  These are not, clean, skinny, low fat, low carb, or low anything.  They are fatty, gooey, sticky buns of goodness (I assume, again I didn't eat them).  I did however take them to work and I have none left.  They must have been good.

 

I also watch Argo.  What a fantastic movie.  Have you seen it yet? No, go watch it.  It's based on a true story, which is always awesome.   I had actually forgotten all about it. Then a few weeks ago I stumbled on to Nerky.  She has a great blog, that you should totally go read, right after you are done reading this.  Anyway I started reading her blog from the beginning and she reviewed both Argo and Pitch Perfect.  She gave both rave reviews.  I had already seen Pitch Perfect and it is aca-awesome! But she reminded me I wanted to see Argo.  What a great way to spend some time, trying not to think about food.   Really, it was great.  Very suspenseful and a little tense at times.  2 thumbs up for sure!

 

So that's where I am today folks.  Hope all is well out in the world!
