'wonder soup'

i HATE wonder soup!  just so you know...and forget 'wonder' it's mostly just yucky. 

i've been really struggling with my weight - in the movies people have babies and walk out of the hospital looking just the way they did before they were pregnant.  i knew THAT wasn't going to be the case but i didn't expect it to be quite so hard.  it doesn't help my good ol self esteem that seemingly every other girl who had a baby around here looks like a million bucks and certainly doesn't seem to have any excess weight...but, such is life, i do.

last week i figured i'd go check out herbal magic...i know it works cuz people i know have done it...plus, the paper said that the first 15lbs were free!  with a free consultation what did i really have to lose?  so, i went and left feeling like crying.  almost a thousand bucks to join and lose weight!  SO WAY OUT of my price range.  i spent the evening crying but resolved sunday morning that it was NOT the end and that THIS is NOT how it's going to be...i did some research and found this really ridiculous sounding seven day detox diet and here i am...the fourth day on it and finding myself gagging at even the thought of 'wonder soup'. 

my hope is that this seven days of extremely limited food will make it easier to simply not eat as much in general...the plan is to finish this seven days and go on to another seven day diet - the 1300 calorie diet (it DOESN'T look ridiculous and has an amazing looking meal plan) and hopefully the weight will start to come off. 

on the flip side...or simply 'in other news' i had someone else's snot on my hand today.  that's correct.  SOMEONE ELSE'S snot.  ava was all stuffed up this morning so i got out the trusty ol bulb and the saline and got ready to 'suck some snock'...on the plus side it did come out, it just didn't come out with the bulb...ava sniffed it out onto my hand.  in past days, i really never anticipated the amount of someone else's bodily fluids that one would have to become intimate with.  such is motherhood?
