On Purpose

I hope you enjoy these random babblings  of a woman on the absolute brink of either hysteria or genius (depending on the day).  What I really hope is that someday I’ll get it right.  I hope this electric brain of mine, with all it’s incredible words and ideas and passions, has something incredilbe planned.  My thoughts [...]

Think back to when you were young and every cute guy (or girl) was a possibility.  Remeber that feeling?  You barely knew him except for a few things, but what you knew you were smitten with.  He’d walk into the room and you could barely breathe and you found yourself grinning uncontrollably because he smiled in your direction.  Do you [...]

So, I wasn’t as vigilant as I promised about keeping you posted.  I could offer you some excuse, but that’s all it would be…an excuse.  Suffice it to say, my week exploded.  But…I’m happy to announce that I exceeded my goal!  On the morning after my last cleanse day I was eleven pounds down!  Hoo-rah!!!  [...]

O.K.  Here we are at cleanse day number 6!  With 4 days left to go I am officially down 8 pounds!  I’m thinking ten is very possible.  I’m feeling pretty good, but I’m not looking forward to the last two days of no food.  Oh well. “Sandi, Sandi…beauty is pain!”  -Frenchi from Grease

O.K.  so I missed blogging about day 4, but that’s only because I was invited to spend a fabulous night in Park City with my cousins (had a blast! thanks guys…love you!)  I was incredible on day four.  I was perfect all day, and when we went out to eat that night I ate a chicken [...]

Holy Fat Burn Batman!!!!  This morning I was down a total of 6 pounds.  Only 4 more to go to reach my goal, and I still have 6 days left.  I just ran the run of a lifetime, plus I went to the gym and lifted.  Beat that sucka!!!!  I got to actually eat real food [...]

I got up this morning and hopped on the scale to find I was down 4 pounds.  I don’t care if it’s just water weight or not….I’ll take it!  I was really surprised at how much energy I had, given the total lack of food.  I kept making a mental note of it all day.  “Wow, [...]

Today I am starting a nine day cleanse.  You don’t eat for two days, but you drink this cleansing concoction that tastes exactly how I imagine shark piss tastes, (in fact that’s what I call it) and you flood your system with water.  On the third through the seventh days of your cleanse you drink [...]

All hail foodies!  In this country of super-fast,  super-chains, instant everything foods, I’m so grateful for the few that hang on to the glorious wonders of their kitchen.  I’ve had an incredilbe week of re-visiting a few of my most cherished recipes and I (and I must say my boys) have loved every minute of [...]

I was at work one day when I saw a man (probably in his 60′s) looking sort of lost.  I asked him if I could help him to which he replied, “Only if you want to go to the movies. “  I was surprised for a couple of reasons.  1. because his reply was so [...]
