ramblings...

i don't really know what to write today. i'm just a little bored. matt is sleeping on the bed behind me. and i am sitting in the semi-dark on a computer. there's not much of anything exciting going on. so i might just ramble. i'm sort of on a diet. i wouldn't really say it's a diet, but a drastic change in the way i eat. ha if you have heard of the Cinch! diet that is what it is. right now i am doing the 5 day detox, which kind of stinks. i have actually tried this before and it worked, but then i went right back to the same way of eating. the deal is the first 5 days you only can eat these 5 foods. eggs. yogurt. raspberries. almonds. and spinach. i eat 4 meals a day and drink at least 8 cups of water. the first time i did it i cried the first day. the yogurt was disgusting. nonfat plain yogurt. i also didn't enjoy the spinach salad with balsamic vinegar. i know some of you not so picky eaters wouldn't think that sounds bad, but i hate vinegar. anyhow i lost like 7 pounds the first time i tried it (i'm sure most was just water weight, but still i got off that number i was stuck on). the deal is after those 5 days you move into the next 25 days with the same idea but a variety of foods. and that's where i lost. so i decided to give it another go. i know i'm not fat. but i do have some fat. and plus i just want to be healthy. so today is day 2. and i'm sort of doing an adjusted cinch! diet. i'm using some strawberries instead of all raspberries. and i'm also using italian dressing. and vanilla yogurt. i'm sure the real real way would be better, but i'm sure it still has mostly the same effect. day 1. well i kind of messed up. i made homemade bread the day before and well i wanted some and so i did. yeah i don't have the greatest self discipline when it comes to food. i did everything else right though. today has been better. i ate a strawberry smoothie for breakfast and then had a salad with a hard boiled egg and some strawberries. i'm bad at eating all the almonds that i'm supposed to eat. i don't mind them but they aren't my favorite. matt and i are doing a competition to see who can get to their goal first. then we get to buy something. i want a cute/fancy dress. so yeah i'm trying to eat better and get back into working out. it's rough. at least i haven't gained weight since i have been married. just got a little softer. ha anyhow. matt and i went to willow park zoo. i swear i saw splash and alfred there, but it was hard to tell. i saw 2 big ducks hanging out by each other but there colors had changed a bit. so it was probably them. flash is in the other room probably doing something he shouldn't. i took him to work today. he was a hit. but i think i just about killed him with the 2 short car drives and all the people touching and holding him. he was shaking a lot. matt is going to graduate this summer! which is kind of scary. that means we have to figure out our lives and where we will go and what we will do. i think we will chill in logan for a little bit and both work. but then it's either off to grad school or maybe teach for america. either way i'm pretty sure we will be leaving utah. i'm ready for a change. i am also super excited for the summer. we are going to go to california, canada, and back packing and arches and who knows where else. we decided we are going to have a fun filled summer. we are poor yes. but this is the time in our lives to be poor so why not be a little poorer and enjoy it. my job is going to let me work the weeks when i'm around and when the school year starts i will work at my other one again. so i think it will work out. so yeah. that's all for now. sorry if it's hard to read.
