Holy Crap... I leave on holidays in one sleep... as kids would put it! 6 hours and I will be getting up to go on holidays! Tomorrow morning, I am heading to HOLLYWOOD for 4 days, 3 nights and I am so excited. My first holiday.... Thank god my sister is coming with me because I would be a nervous wreck the entire trip... Likely sitting in the hotel too overwhelmed to do anything and too indecisive to figure out what to do. Yup, that's me... A Giant Ball of Anxiety! Who would have thought, eh?? But I am getting excited. Nervous. But excited. I hope I meet some hot celebrities while I'm there! :-) I'll post some pics!!
On a side note, I have not blogged for several days, but I have 2 very valid excuses. The first one is that I was exhausted after my 6 hour Spin-a-thon that I completed on Saturday afternoon... Yes, 6 hours, a total of 300 minutes after breaks for fluid, potty and some snacks. I raised a total of $1,000.00 and donated my Mary Kay prize of $2,000.00 to the Strong Kids Foundation, I think an overall successful day!
Then, reason number two, I got food poisoning! NEVER trust potato salad with only a few days left on the expiry date. BAD news. So Saturday & Sunday, I slept... Monday and Tuesday, I was recoving... Wednesday I was packing and, Thursday, here I am... blogging and heading to bed. First of all, best food poisoning cure, eat a cup on plain, cooked white rice! It absorbs all the ickiness in your stomach and pulls it through... I felt better within a few hours! AND... stay hydrated, I got dehydrated and I felt even sicker!
Today is the last day of February, Gluten-Free February! Challenge #2 of 2013 is complete and A HUGE SUCCESS! I am now one of those people with a dietary restriction (sorry Mom), but I am remaining gluten-free! Both Jason and I have found that we both feel better, are less bloated and are losing weight (him way faster than me) and we are both happy. We have found excellent alternatives and realized that eating clean and healthy is how we want to live, along with actively and that if going to continue for the next 10 months of 2013 and beyond.
Although I have only lost 5 lbs while during the month of February, I am happy with that amount, but I have decided that the month of March, I am going to make my challenge to be to lose 10 lbs by March 31st, 2013! Starting March in LA, I think, is going to be a great motivator and, likely, the best place on earth to find reasonable healthy clean food! My scale at home broke, so I am not obsessing about my daily weigh in's, but my weekly weigh-in's at Weight Watchers are far more exciting and I have to be good or feel healthy and successful. Thank you for staying with me for the month of February. I promise to blog more when I get back and post pictures and keep you up to date with my March Challenge!
Off to bed, early morning flight!
Much love.
