Well it’s an EPIC day! I have finally truly broken the stall I was at for REAL. I have lost 2 pounds in two days.

I was stalled for over 5 weeks.

I am so happy. I am VERY motivated. I am actually so motivated I am thinking of fasting tomorrow. (just thought of that). I am at least going to plan on one soon.. for one day. I joined the Intermittent Fasting thread on LCF (low carb friends) and am reading in my spare time. I like the idea of short one day fasts. I have fasting experience, good and bad!

Last night dinner:
Roasted Pork Tenderloin
Roasted Asparagus with Olive Oil and Balsamic (yum!).. I could so be a vegetarian again.


I also read an interesting bit of Trivia that ScandalouslyGlam
posted on LCF re: Joan Crawford:

“Waaaaaaaaaay back in 1926 Joan Crawford wanted to stand out from all the other young women flocking to Hollywood in hopes of fame and fortune. So she went on a diet that consisted of Steak for lunch with sliced tomatoes and steak for dinner with sliced tomatoes. She gave up ALL Starches and sweets though she did eat 1/2 a grapefruit every morning for breakfast. Within weeks she dropped 20 pounds.

The change was so dramatic that rumors spread that she had cosmetic surgery to make her eyes appear Bigger!! [Joan Crawford A Biography, by Bob Thomas c1968]

(she also was a not very good mother, I know...lol. I was just SO surprised to see this in print)“

I also love her siggy:

Losing weight is hard.
Being fat is hard.
Pick your hard.

Right On!!!

Well today is going to be a very busy day.
I got a shipment of gemstones in and I am working on listing. It's going to take DAYS but I am thrilled with the quality. Hopefully I might actually create something for myself with a few of them!
Here is one of my sites (the gemstone one) if anyone is interested:

This has turned into a pretty serious "stay at home job".. recently had my 1000th sale!

So I had a conversation with Patrick a few days ago re: all the cooking (3 meals a day, every day for MONTHS) I have been doing and we decided he would grill one night a week and I would make a list of LowCarb friendly fast food and restaurants that have pick up/takeout and he will bring home dinner one night a week also.. SO that is two dinners a week I can NOT worry about!

Tonight he is actually going to pick up some of the new Grilled Hot Wings from KFC.. oh and double green beans... Hope they are good, we have not had them yet.

Breakfasts are usually not hard and I try to make double dinners so we have leftovers for lunches. This works well for both of us.

Well.. BACK to work I go.
Everyone have a fantastic day!
