Isn't it funny how once you get what you think you want, sometimes those exact things annoy you? For example, you dream about meeting the perfect guy, one who wants to talk about the future and wants to be with you all the time and lets you know how he feels about you, and then you find that guy who is head over heels for you and you find all those qualities about them suffocating?
Maybe that is just me, but why as human beings are we designed to be wanted and loved, and then when we are wanted and loved all we want is our freedom. Maybe people get to the point in life where they realize that the decisions that they make every single day are important for the rest of their lives, and that whole forever aspect freaks people out. Well, freaks me out at least. What happens when you find that one that could be forever and all you want to do is crawl under the covers because the last thing you want to think about is marriage and babies and a family, and EEEK buying a house and then that is all you are thinking about? Maybe you can call this Bridget's random thought for the morning but it has been weighing heavily on my mind, which in turn has turned me back to this lovely blog.
OK clearly we can all tell that I wasn't the best blogger...and I forgot about the blog. And reading the old blog, who in the world was this oh so dreamy man I was gushing about....clearly that one didn't last. The whole reason why this blog was started is because of my struggle with weight, which of course hasn't changed, but the detox that I was doing WORKED.
Let me start by saying this, if you don't mind seeing everything, and I mean everything, that you have ever eaten come out of your body on day 3, then I suggest that detox for you. You are cleansed of anything that could be bad in your body and it is not the prettiest thing. My stomach was concave by day 5 because I hadn't eaten anything for 5 days but I felt great!!! Let the battle of the perfect body forever wage on.
I will try to start to get better at this, it feels good to type your thoughts out. For now, let me leave off the same place that I left off on the last blog. Back in September, the #1 NFL team that I was speaking of is truly the #1 AFC team in the league and is headed to the super bowl. Excitement does not even come close to what I feel. GO BRONCOS!!!!!

First Post
When sitting down to write your first blog, it becomes hard to figure out who you are actually typing and talking to. Who would even read something that a stranger wrote about their lives. I think that blogging, or the idea of blogging, became interesting to me when I first started watching Julie and Julia.
If only I could
a) have the money to cook my way through a delicious cookbook
b)have the time (and skill for that matter)
c) be able to not worry about the weight gain
The entire reason why I started to blog, of type to myself I guess, is because of the fact that I decided (along with some savvy MD's) that I need to lose a few extra lb's. Weight loss is such a touchy topic and that baffles me. Whenever a girl says that she needs to lose weight, friends and family roll their eyes and say something along the lines of "she's just being a typical girl". But what about those of us that truly do feel trapped in their body and when they express this feeling to friends they actually mean it. Words of encouragement are a great thing and should be said more often.
Getting off topic here. Where were we? Ah yes the reason why I decided to start to blog. Weight loss. Still recovering from a surgery that literally sucked the life out of me has made it quite hard to get into a routine of working out and being in shape. Surgery was like a "get out of jail free card". You feel as if you are allowed to eat what you want since you are confined to the fluffy down filled pillows on the couch, and, if you are anything like me, have developed a severe case of the munchies due to the oh-so-amazing forget the pain pills that were prescribed to me. So using the surgery and my couch as an excuse I decided it was OK to stuff my face with Velveeta Rotel Shells and Cheese macaroni and those heavenly Magnum ice cream bars (which is you haven't tried I highly recommend just once). Two months later I am sadly sadly 10 lbs heavier. Sure, 10 lbs should be easy to lose and I am ready to give it a go, but every time I am getting dressed and look into my disastrous full length mirrors which are my closet doors, I feel like I am a sumo wrestler that just stepped into their diaper before a big match. I hope that others can relate and I am not just crazy here....
Naturally I decide to ask around and Google different cleanses and diets and choose the must absurd cleanse out there and decide to give it a whirl. How hard can it be, right? Turns out very. I am currently ending day 2 of the genius "Master Cleanse Diet" and all I can think about while writing this blog and watching T.V. is eating a large meat lovers pizza with a side of ranch. I think I NEED to blog about this experience so that I can write down my experiences this crazy cleanse so that I, myself, do not turn crazy in return. I first got the idea of starting out with a cleanse from my beautiful dear friend who recently finished a juice cleanse with her husband. We were on our way to a tailgate and all she was saying was how cranky she had been for 3 days because all she had to eat was juice and that the idea of a hotdog was like heaven to her. So naturally, like any sane person would do, I thought to myself that I could easily do a cleanse and be totally cranky for 3 days and not eat food. Let me tell you something, this whole experience is completely about willpower, which on days 1 and 2 I have realized that I lack a large amount of. Note to self: must work on willpower.
Going into day 3 tomorrow and when I post, I will take you through a run-down of my experience thus far. Tomorrow should definitely be interesting since it is the fantastic 2013 NFL season opener and my one and only #1 team is headlining. The exhaustive phase of this cleanse has set in and sadly, at 8:45, my tired brain needs to call it a night. I think its a mixture of the cleanse, 4 hrs of sleep last night (up talking to an oh-so-dreamy man), and helping my Grandma who suffers from Alzheimer's (many stories on that to come), but I am totally wiped out. Until tomorrow all!
Stay happy and healthy. Smile and Laugh.
