Day by Day

I feel like it has been a little quiet over in my neck of the woods lately. Please know that I am keeping up with reading your lovely posts, but I'm also trying to keep my head above water now that work has picked up (and will continue to do so for the next few months, at least).

I have also joined M in a juice fast. He has inspired me so much and been such a trooper during the week has already made it through. I just started on Saturday, and, y'all, it's rough. I'm detoxing like a mo-fo and realizing just how addicted to food I am. I am committed to doing it for a week (which seems lame compared to M's three-week goal), but I'm definitely taking it one moment at a time.

We have been using his Breville juicer (the model from Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead), and I have been very pleasantly surprised at how yummy some of our fruit and veggie concoctions have been. (This morning's beverage, on the other hand, was NOT delicious. Grapefruit, you win this round. Oy.) I know that I'll feel better once I make it over the detox hump, and while this has been challenging, my tummy has felt great and I don't miss being food drunk after every meal. (Moderation escapes me at times.)

So I may be kind of quiet as we get through this week, but I know this weekend will be a sweet celebration, first and foremost as we celebrate the good news of the resurrection!

In the meantime, I'd tackle a puppy for this...

No joke.
