Sadly, this is not a post about bathtubs; it is a cleanse update.

I have switched to chocolate shakes. I thought vanilla would be more pallatable in the morning, but no. Oh, and i also found out that i should have added more water if i included berries, so that is why it was such a digusting texture. But still, chocolate is the way to go.

After i got that all sorted out, it's actually gone quite well. I can eat a 'normal' meal once a day, so it's not like i'm starving myself at all. And i don't feel hungry all the time either. And let's be honest, i usually only eat one good meal a day anyway, so i'm just cutting out the crap.

Thus far, i have lost 5 lbs. (in as many days). However, continuing on the honesty track, i know exactly where those 5lbs are... they are not lost, they are simply hovering near by, waiting for me to finish this cleanse so they can jump back on. I'm okay with this. Because...

I borrowed my cousin's wedding gown last night and tried it on. Of course it doesn't fit (i knew it would be too small), buuuuut... I can get it ON, which is a great start. The only problem is that there is a large gap between zipper edges. Now, it's not like i'm willing to starve myself for the next 6 months or anything ridiculous like that, but seriously people, i've got a photographer i love, i have a new lease on the job i love, i just got accepted into the class i need for school, i've lost five pounds... With all this fun and excitement, i must continue to nurture the seed of hope i have that i might be able to fit into this dress by the end of June.

(To be continued. Or you can just come to our wedding and see for yourself!)
