Day started bad. Half a migraine pill and a few hours sleep with my pups and alls well. I'm really shocked. If ETL helps this much after 4 days I'm IN!!! Eating was hit and miss today. Didn't feel like breakfast and lunch was just fruit that really hurt my tummy. Supper was the usual tortilla with lettuce and bean juice. Also my broccoli salsa mix and beans. yummy. I'm sure I haven't eaten enough food today but I'm good. I took Odis for a walk around the place, then to Walmart and then home to clean the kitchen. I usually don't feel like doing any of those and I don't know if the my diet or just feeling better after the migraine but :)
Cramps haven't left yet but at least that's temporary. Damn Mother Nature.

Tough day
What a day. Not so much a bad day for me but Max...Oh boy! Can't go into it here but I don't know how he's holding it together. OY! I, too, didn't have an easy day. I was sooo hoping that James would just say lets go to the Anchor. mmmmmm Baconcheeseburger and onion rings. He didn't. I lived. I've been good, begrudgingly. Let's see, banana, actually I think it was two, orange, no lunch, tortilla with broccoli and cauliflower and romaine. Beans. I'm feeling a little hungry now but I think a big ole glass of water will help. But I gained a half a pound back this morning (although mother nature just hit, too) I'm tired. Need to rest. Night

OH! And Brandon helped today. As I was whining about eating something, anything, he said "but it'll be worth it when your migraines are gone". OMG I needed that, then. What a kid. Made my day :)

day three nearly done
Wow super was great. I could have that every night. And I just may. :)
tortilla loaded with romaine, cauliflower, broccoli, and a drizzling of bean juice. A pound of beans. Almost too many. May have to do less tomorrow. Afterward an orange. Come to think of it I missed my 1 cup or was that a pound of cooked veggies. hmmm May just leave that off today, I'm full.
I can't believe I'm saying that, I'm full. WOW I will absolutely weigh in the morning cause if I overdid today I won't want to do it again tomorrow.
I'm still in shock at how good I feel. Almost tingling. It's the weirdest thing. I don't know if this is the DT's or the detox is gonna leave this awesome feeling behind. Wouldn't that be great. haha
Bout to go tan and read. Goodnight!

WHAT AN AWESOME DAY!!!! Zon and her 5 kids came by. Just a great day visiting. She's got such awesome kids. OK, truthfully (and I realize Zon may read this someday), I'd kill Andrew. That boy is 200% boy. WOW He just wears me out. But what a cutie.
I've stayed on my diet so well today. I'm so proud of myself. I've made hamburgers and hot dogs today. I have a pot of beans on right now. I did cheat there. I just had to salt them. I taste tested it and ick. I won't eat that crap so its cheat or throw away food. Um, NO. But so far I've had a banana, apple, orange and the last of my salad from the other day with just a bit of ranch. Helped immensely.
Note to self: shop for healthier Ranch dressing
I'm about to go check the beans and then fix me something to eat. I'll tell ya about it later.

Lunch was too good. Really. Didn't manage to stay on track but did my best. Bud grabbed a Subway salad and it had ham and too much ranch. Goooood.

Day Duece
Grabbed some fruit on the way out of the house today. Banana on the way to work and an orange later. Bud's here with me today. He's gone now trying to find a salad in Mannford. Sonic. NO. Subway...fingers crossed. I'm hungry but not to the point of cheating. I've got a bit of a headache again today. Excedrins killed it yesterday, hope it does today too. Didn't weight today. I know I will but what good could I have possibly done in a day. HA. Looking forward to baggy jeans.

We have liftoff!!
I did it! I started. I feel happy, worried, not quite hungry and ready to see how much weight I'll lose by next Friday. Not sure yet if I'll get on the scales or not in the mornings but I'm guessing I do. Just how I am.
Last post I said I'd go buy groceries or I'd go out to eat and get groceries the next night. But I did this my way and feel so awesome about it. I went out to eat last night...last meal, 5 Star with Max and Dexter...but instead of waiting til I bought groceries I went ahead and decided to start. The timing is right as far as headaches, MN, DTs, etc. I ran by Walmart for oil and bought 2 bananas and apple and an orange. Ate the apple and a banana on the way to work. Wasn't bad but the apple peel in my teeth all day has drivin me nuts. For lunch Sean, the Merc Rep Brad, and I went to Steer Inn where I was expecting a great salad bar. OMG how awful. Lettuce mix, tomatoes and sunflower seeds. That's it. I had seconds of a small saucer full and it was $9.80. I'm sorry but what!!!??!! Anyway, I feel good. I'm dog tired, half NO caffiene at all. None. I'm kinda proud. But also because I had to run Sean to the ER. Poor guy it some sand while riding the Zuma at work. Broke his collar bone in half. I feel horrible for him. Took us over an hour to get to St. Francis. He's a really trooper. Looks like possible surgery.
I'm beat. Goodnight

Almost ready to begin
Well, the time is approaching quickly. I'm both worried I won't keep it up and excited as hell to try. Today was payday and I'm hoping to go produce shopping tonight or tomorrow night. Still reading my book and loving it. Ideally I would have a cook to prepare my plates and I'd just have to eat. I think I could do this that way with no problems but alas poor people are the cooks. Been eating too good the last couple of days. Enjoying my last Diet Dew. I can't imagine life without them but then I also can't imagine life without migraines. . . . and fat.

1st blog
OK, so I haven't started eating to live yet. I will. I'm waiting until payday to by lots of veggies and fruits and such. Not so much and such but hopefully some. I haven't read the entire Eat to Live book yet and I hope I don't screw up by starting this without that done but I'm done. Done. Done with achy joints, tight clothes, losing my breathe everything I walk a few yards. And mostly I'm done with these migraines. 18 years + is plenty. They can go away now.
I'm not real sure why I want to blog about this. Mainly just to free up my mind of all the things I'm trying to remember but could just as well reread here. I don't expect anyone to read this and am not looking for feedback (at least not yet, we'll see). There will be ETL things on here and as I'm kinda outspoken there will probably be rants and raves about friends, family and strangers alike. It seems nicer to scream on here than shoot someone.
The ETL plan that I'm am going to start is vegan. Don't really know what that is but I'll research it some. I know I can eat vegetables and fruits and I think beans. Guess I need to go do that research.
