I can't do it

I stopped strictly following the "Ultra Simple Diet".

I know! I know!...I'm a failure.

My chiropractor laughed at me when I said this. I told him that I had been going through so many mood swings and I just felt BLECH on the diet and he said that I was probably just detoxing. I told him I didn't have time to feel like that especially right now. He told me to try it again later at a time when I don't have so much going on.

I still feel like a failure.

What a sad post for my 100th post.

Let's brighten things up by letting you feast your eyes on the bluest pair of eyes you have ever seen.
Isn't he the cutest? These were taken almost a year ago I think. He has grown so much since then and he has the most beautiful blonde hair. I think this one is my favorite. Funny side note, he is actually slobbering all over my lens cap grasped tightly in those chubby little hands. It never got so much love from me. :DAs you can see, I desaturated this one...all but his BLUE eyes. I then took a yellow brush and made his adorable blue ducks stand out a bit more.I call this one my Olan Mills shot. It is just too babyriffic. To go along with the perfect pose I used my newly acquired blur effect to make it more studioesque. {{wow, I am all about making up words today}}I can't help but loving this shot too. It is so typical of his personality. Friendly and all in your face. You can just imagine him giving you wet, open mouth kisses, can't you?

You'll never know...

I am not strong. I have never claimed to be strong.

This is day 3 of the Ultra Simple Diet and I am struggling with cravings...and mood swings. At one point yesterday I felt oddly empowered and felt thinner and by the time the night was over I was in bed in a pile of frustration at everything.

Today especially I am having trouble with cravings. I want a big juicy turkeyburger from the place right across the street from my office. My husband is trying to keep me strong via text messaging (misspelling included):

Me: I want food.

Me: I don't think I can do this.

Spencer: You can do it. (trying hard not to visual Rob Schneider from "Waterboy")

Really can't all ican think abt is food

Lunch is soon you can do i know you can

But i don't want veggies (wow you can hear the whine in my voice)

Sorry you have to or you will never be happy

What if it doesn't wnrk? Suffering for nothing

You'll never know

I really love him..he comes through for me in a big way sometimes.I am posting a beautiful picture today to endeavor to evoke the calm feelings I need to have.

ARRRGH!!!

So little old me who is not very technologically savvy tried to upload a new template...me who likes to change things like I change my clothes. Well, in case you couldn't tell, it backfired. So this post is me effectively putting up a sign that says "Pardon our progress". I cannot tell you how glad/thankful/ecstatic I am that I have a sister who can work miracles. Hopefully by tomorrow night everything will be back up and running normally.

Thank you for your patience and, as the 1980s Bartles & James commercials went, "Thank you for yer support."
