Day.Seventy.

Alright.. I decided I would do the diet. I am not one who normally does diets, but I thought about and it seems ok, not terrible. I will blog about the week that is coming. Here is the basic layout (found on pinterest)

I decided I need to do more research, but I was going to do it! John immediately doubted my ability to do it, so of course... it was game on! 

So, off to the store I went to stock up on fruit, veggies, and the ingredients for the soup! The kicker for me isn't the food as much as it is the DELETION of Diet Coke. I usually have 2-3 cans a day. Now, I am going to go cold turkey and have only water. Yuck! I hate water. 

Day one starts tomorrow... I will keep you updated. 

For more information about this diet visit: www.my7daydiet.com  (It was full of info and why it is like this. I liked the science behind the madness. Also, it was more detailed.) This is more of a cleanse that will result in weight loss. 

I guess it is my last chance to have a Twinkie... so, I shall eat and then go to sleep!

Day.Sixty.Nine.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!
On this day, we relaxed, cleaned, and I outlined the blog posts that I was behind on. I will get around to them.

Funny thing happened today:
I was outside with the dogs. It seems like I am all the time. The people in the house behind me were out. She was cutting grass. I kept thinking, she looks familiar. Hmmmm... Later in the day, we were out again, no surprise, and she came out and said, HI ALEXIS! Well, my neighbor that moved in about 8 months ago... is also an employee of SACC! What are the odds. I worked with her over spring break and we would email back and forth about the plans, and we could have just talked in our backyards! Small world.

Now.. how many times have I taken the dogs out looking like a hot mess that just woke up... too many to count... hehe.

This week is going to be busy. Alissa called and asked if I was interested in doing a diet that she and Dena are doing next week. I said I would check it out... We will see.


Have a great night!

Day.Thirty.Three.

Technically, I made it to the valley today (at 2am!). Then, I woke up and got straight to work on finishing the cake pops. The process went smoothly. Check out the results:

There were a few extra, so for the gathering that was taking place tonight, Alissa and Dena took matters into their own hands, and piped chocolate on them. Look how cute they look on my new cake stand!

After the cake pops were complete, off to Union Local to watch Courtney run. (little did my mom and I know that she is hurt... so she wasn't able to give 100%. She still ran faster than I could) Check her out!

 GO COURTNEY!!

(It is cold...ridiculously cold!)

Back to Alissa's to hang out and visit with family. Dena, Jeremiah, and Zooey were in town too! I am so glad I got to hang out with Zooey! Lydia helped me out with my gift of a baptism bracelet for the girls. Whew! It was a process.. Check out tomorrow's post for pictures!

Have a great night.
