My goal is to lose 25 pounds by the end of the year. That's only 5 pounds a month. 1 1/2 pounds a week. Today is day one of my fast/ detox/ cleanse. Meaning I am not eating anything but drinking lots of water, some relaxation tea and some diet tea.

Although I love my curvy sisters, I am trying to get back to my "playing weight". I am always exhausted an the doctor suggested that I may have some sleep apnea which causes me to wake up during the night and so I don't get fully rested. He suggested that if I lose weight that will also make me sleep better. I also want to look like myself. I haven't since I had my first child 21 1/2 years ago.
I'd love to go on a cruise with hubby in a year or so at my goal weight or better yet start my 50 year (birth day in 2014) looking and feeling my best.

Week in Review!
So my week off from work has been busy. It's nice to spend some time at home taking care of stuff  that I don't have much time to do during the regular work week.

This week I had my annual physical.
 
Took daughter to the orthodontist. Paid deposit. Took her back to have braces put on.
 
Spent time with parents.
 
Went to look at landscaping bricks at Home Depot. Realized I don't have the funds after paying for orthodontist.
 
Interviewed 2 contractors from Craigslist. One turned out to be on the State Contractors Board website for Most Wanted lisf for working without a license, elder abuse in a contracting job and the list went on . The other called me 4 times to postpone until I told him to forget about it. He had his licensed revoked by the State Board. So basically I am done with looking on craigslist for
contractors.  
 
Took teenagers to pediatrician for annual physicals.
 
Had hair straightened. I almost look like myself again.
 
Ate way too much pizza last night. Yum! Trying to fast today.
 
 
Wrote blog posts about my favorite bloggers.
 
Balanced checkbook. Realized I don't have enough money for Scrapbook Expo crop registration. Okay maybe I do but don't want to take it down to the last penny. But I kind of want to go. It is my creative outlet.
 
I thoroughly cleaned and reorganized my closet last Saturday. Filled a bag with clothes for donation.
 
Started looking a cruises again. I really would like to do something next February but need to pay off the bills from last cruise and need to save a little more cash. Been trying to win a cruise by entering a contest of two that pops up on twitter or facebook. #Fingerscrossed
 
Today is my last official day off from work. I have the weekend but you know it's not really a day off.
 
Product Review



Tried out the Shea Moisture hair product. Basically it was very greasy and left a sticky feeling. I am looking for soft without the greasy feel. It did make some really nice curly twists when I parted a small portion of my hair and did a two strand twist. I guess it serves its purpose as a leave in conditioner. I won't spend the $12 again on this product. I have decided to go for regular blow outs and curl with stylist Adrienne.
