DAY 4, 5, 6, 7

So I've been slacking on blog updates but the good news is...I've stayed strong and haven't cheated or stopped doing the cleanse! Friday ended my food AND juice cleanse and since Saturday I have only had juice.  I have decided to end the just juice cleanse early however because I'm constantly hungry and think that the short 5 day cleanse will be good for my body, but then I can just continue to eat healthy. (but more...so I'm not always hungry haha, or HANGRY).



Friday was tough because I drove up to Portland with my mom to try on wedding dresses :)...but that meant I had to pack food for an entire day. I packed a salad, a banana, 4 apples, some strawberries, and a smoothie.  This stuff wasn't on the meal plan but I figured fruit and veggies were a safe bet.

The just juice cleanse has been pretty tough and I have to admit that I have eaten some grapes, an apple, and some raisins just because I needed some actually food.  I made a cake on Saturday for some odd reason- but I just really love baking.  AND I didn't eat any of it! For me, that's a huge accomplishment haha.

Today is Monday, Day 3 and I've lost around 7lbs.  I'm feeling better! My mind is clear, I have energy at times... (it comes and goes), but overall I've felt pretty well.  Only three days left! The cleanse plan included beets in some of the juices, which I have realized is so nasty.  But good for you!! Below are some of the pictures of juices I have made. I am kind of excited for it to be over though :)...

Typhoons, Tokyo, and Taylor Swift

We just went into TCCOR 1 ( T ropical C yclone C onditions o f R eadiness), which means destructive sustained winds of 50 knots or greater are expected within 12 hours... kind of scary,  but more so kind of exciting!  This will be our first typhoon that we are going through and as of now, I'm excited!  We've downloaded movies, have lots of snacks and water ready, and I get to spend time with the hubster... what more could I want?! ....  I wrote that last night. and now it's 7:30AM.  Nothing big happened last night, just kind of windy but nothing crazy.  SOOO Arthur and I both got ready for work this morning and just as I finished getting ready and was walking downstairs to my car, Arthur yelled for me to come back up.  We went into TCCOR 1C (Caution) which means no work for the two of us as of now!  YAY!!!

No words needed.

Names are only so helpful--> but pictures! That's what draws people in.  Could be a memory of a time, or the feeling you get when you picture yourself in that situation.  The power of photography is huge . Pictures can take you back to a moment you had-- one that you could never go back and repeat, and it gives you joy.  Photography can also cause laughter, and quite frequently--embarrassment.  For those pictures, thankfully there is a delete button.  But compare this post to my last one.  Instead of the names of all of the cities and countries to visit on a Eurotrip , try pictures .  See if it entices you more.  These pictures correlate with the list of cities in my previous blogpost... but I will have to split it in half and show you the first fifteen in this post, the last 16 in the next.. :)

Another year older, another year wiser...

I once saw a quote that said “Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.”   It’s kind of crazy to think about that.   A little scary too!   Life is moving quickly and I am the youngest I will ever be again. (Physically, maybe not mentally J ).   I’m not saying that getting older is a bad thing, because with age comes even more blessings every day, I just find it interesting to think that I’m another year older and supposedly another year wiser. Each year I get older means that there will be another year full of surprises, challenges, heartache, love, joy, and knowledge.  I think I get excited about that.  The part that makes me sad about getting older each year is that life has really started to move quickly.  I’ve already been married for almost 11 months- which is crazy because I feel like I just started wedding planning. I’ve already graduated college- something else that blows my mind because I feel like I jus...
