Day 7: One week -- progress!

Why hey there, you, yes you! ;o) *Winky winky*

I cannot believe that it's been one week of straight blogging. And I love it. YAY!

So, confession time, no I didn't have any coffee but I did break the dairy rule: uh-hum...well, what can I say, I was at Wally World shopping for some last minute Thanksgiving items and all of a sudden I was hungry. Given that I had soup and fruit for breakfast, that made me a little less than full by lunch time (but I was full after eating that morning, thankyouverymuch). I saw some Tostino's pizza on sale for mucho cheapo. And so I though why not?. You should know I rationalized it by putting some sliced Roma tomato and red onion on top. Ah, the lies we tell ourselves. Not super unhealthy but not allowing me to get a good picture of how diet is impacting my skin and energy. I've already established that I feel a zillion times better without coffee despite the occasional craving which I'm confident is primarily psychological at this point.

I'm waiting until AFTER thanksgiving to be totally good. Like most of us, right?

Oh s!*t! The cranberry sauce I am making from scratch is burning! Better go get it. Alright, I did, and it is okay. Phew. Oh yeah, I made some killer (note to self: invest a little time with a thesaurus!) stuffing.

Food of this day:

• fresh pineapple and pear salad (yum yum)
• my Bok choy chicken flavored veggie soup with an addition of rotini noodles and green pepper
• supreme and triple meat (equivalent of 1) Tostino's pizza with Roma tomato and red onion
• samples of the following I am making for Thanksgiving:
• green bean casserole
• cranberry sauce
• non in-law friendly stuffing
• in-law friendly stuffing (so nobody gets sick with food allergies and never invites me over to Thanksgiving AGAIN!)... both recipes will be posted soon!
• 3 cups of hot water with lemon, 6 glasses of water, 3 glasses of red wine, swig of fat free milk

El ejercicio:

• 1/2 hour walk with the doggies!
• stretching and breathing...soo....soothing...soo...nice....

Treatment of el skinio:

• lemon and sugar scrub
• regular washing (gentle cleanser) and moisturizing...ran out of toner and I have yet to replace it

A couple of red bumps have popped up on my chin and I think it's due to a certain toothpaste that I have not used in quite a while. So I will not use said toothpaste. And interesting enough, it wasn't a whitening toothpaste as those kinds of toothpaste have a bad received a bad rap on causing breakouts.

Mwuah! Mwuah! *Kissy face* *Kissy face* Ok, I guess it's the wine talking now.

Ay luvs ya my bootiful beechessss,
