The End

The 40 Days are over and I feel surprisingly sad. It�s been just a couple of days since we finished, but I feel myself getting back into some bad habits. For example, I go to try on some new clothes at one of my favorite stores and see only the [...]

Can Sheri make it with one pair of yoga pants and a clearance mat from Marshall�s?

I�m trying to make it through the 40-Day rejuvenation process staying true to the tagline of the blog, which is �Can Sheri make it with one pair of yoga pants and a clearance mat from Marshall�s?� Or something to that effect. Essentially, I�m trying [...]

When I first started this blog, I saw a girl who had done the 40-Day Rejuvenation thing a year ago and she told me that by day 28 she had quit because she was so sick of herself. I thought that was hilarious, but now I know what she�s talking about. [...]

Off the Wagon

So after a couple of days off the wagon (I�ve been moving for God�s sake, gimme a break), I resolve to get back. Staci LeFleur informs me that if I�ve been off the 40 Days, then I�m supposed to pick it up and complete it even after the program is ove [...]

Week 5 is about centering and being present in all things big and small. Ugh. Do you know how hard it is to be present and �in the moment� and centered with two small boys? The amount of laundry I do on a daily basis nearly undoes me--and don�t get m [...]

The Fly

Third day of the fruit fast and I�m feeling pretty good. I�m sure I haven�t lost any actual weight, due in large part to the number of avocados I�ve been chomping, but that doesn�t really matter. I stuck to it and didn�t cheat and that�s huge. Eating [...]

Hold It

There are a couple of things I get squeamish about discussing: sex (why is it anybody�s biz? And my dad reads this!). And any bodily functions: boogers in the nose, farting, bad breath, pooping, etc. Yick. I just don�t like admitting they�re a part o [...]

Fruit Fest

contact@modrydesignstudio.com — Thu, 01 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100

I awoke this morning with the same thought I have every morning, which is �What am I gonna eat today?� And then I remembered I was on the 3-day fruit fast. Let�s see: for breakfast, 1 banana, 1 apple, another banana, some green tea and 3 Advil to cou [...]
