doing well on the drinking water thing, and i even ordered one water between vodka-soda number two and three on friday night. but then not between three and four. or four and five. also broke the beer rule, but in my defense i did have a mich ultra draft which is supposedly low-cal. also it's kinda like alcoholic water but that's beside the point. anyway, detox day one on a friday was probably setting myself up for disappointment ... i did get a little tipsy, but was in bed by 10.
woo woooo! but we all know that's only because i had to get up at 3:45 a.m. to go deep sea fishing with out of town friends. that was a treat today - the last time i was this tired was probably after day two of ECDA training camp. got home around 4, showered and ate then passed out shortly after until 8:30. can barely keep my eyes open. but it was a great time with good people and i can't complain ... except for about the whole almost getting sick thing.
can barely keep my eyes open. possibility of no update tomorrow due to kiki's going away bash. another opportunity to completely blow the detox plan. BUT i'm planning on church in the morning followed by cooking a semi-healthy taco dip and cutting fresh fruit for a salad at DK's! will have my 1.5 liter bottle of water in tow, and kiki has vowed to go booze-water-booze-water with me.
hey, it's a start.

DETOX 101
yay for starting a new job on the 17th and double yay for the "detox my life" plan, which i will be outlining (for myself rather than anyone else) here today. first, a shout-out to lynn for turning me on to parts of this plan/mantra ... loving the motivation connection between MIA and DC (love you) ... LET'S GO!
WHO: yours truly.
WHAT: detox 101 - my newest attempt at growing up.
WHERE: MIA.
WHEN: beginning immediately, if not sooner.
WHY: because hangovers last too long these days, my jeans are too tight, energy is being wasted on the wrong things, and well, toto ... we're not in state college anymore.
1. i'm mrs. she's too big, now she's too thin, you want a piece of me? DIET. not so much an actual diet but more-so trying to avoid things like fried yuca, chinese food and multiple slices of pizza at all hours of the morning. striving for 1300 cals/day and working on upping my fruits and veggies intake. must drink much more water and less diet coke and coffee. starting my own food diary of sorts and relying on a good, filling breakfast to start the day. be more conscious of fiber. do not freak out if i screw up! keep going.
2. blame it on the goose, got ya feelin loose ... BOOZE. alcohol is the devil with angel-like qualities. in cooperation with item 1, only vodka-sodas will be consumed, with one exception: light beer during sporting events, in person or on TV. i just don't feel right drinking liquor while watching sports, i don't know why. back to alcohol consumption ... must drink water while boozing when out. will make a conscious effort to know when enough is enough so as to not black out often. will try to avoid salty (and sultry) texts and BBMs to members of the opposite sex. no late-night unhealthy food. etc., etc. .......
3. i be up in the gym just workin on my fitness ... WORKING OUT. stolen from lynn's detox plan, i will strive for five days of cardio per week. will go back to dance class every wednesday. strength training twice a week. ab workout every other day. work on posture.
4. i ain't worried, doin me tonight, a little sweat ain't never hurt nobody ... DATING. thou shalt channel all energy previously put towards finding mr. right into all other areas of life: friends, family, work, and so on. also stolen from lynn. (disclaimer: if mr. right now should approach, thou shalt be ms. right now)
5. the good life, it feel like atlanta, it feel like LA, it feel like miami ... LIFE. will appreciate what i have and who i am, as well as other people. must visit sick godmother more even though it makes me depressed. will cherish "me time" in bed, at the beach or sitting outside ... enjoying self-made iced coffee, reading a book or mag, doing a crossword puzzle, or watching trashy TV. back to church. get better at keeping in touch with family and friends. watch my spending. read more. blog more.

Standing By Amanda - local charity event
Two great articles re: a charity event happening tomorrow in FLL, put on through a charity I've been involved with, the Jessica June Children's Cancer Foundation. Stories like these really make you grateful for what and who you have in your life ... visit www.jjccf.org for more information or to make a donation.
Event to benefit family of teen fighting cancer
Two charities are rallying around a Margate father caring for a daughter with cancer -- and no money to pay the rent.
BY EILEEN SOLER
Special to The Miami Herald, August 1, 2009
Burly, hardworking Dave Blake picked up the pieces of a broken home a decade ago, when he was left with three kids, one paycheck and just enough money to cover the bills.
On Dec. 26, 2008, when the single dad's only daughter, Amanda, 15, was diagnosed with a rare form of osteosarcoma, a bone cancer, the chemical salesman quit his job and dedicated himself to saving his daughter.

Standing by Amanda — a father reaches out to the community to help his daughter
From Society Scene, A marketing publication of the Sun-Sentinel Company, August 5, 2009
Although many are coping with tough times, people still come together when one of their own is in need, as evident in the case of Amanda Blake. The 15-year-old South Florida girl is suffering from osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. Amanda and her two brothers are being raised by their single father, David, and have little contact with their mother. To care for his daughter, David had to leave his job, and since becoming unemployed, he has not been able to keep up with the household bills. The family, who resides in Margate, has relied on handouts and is living month-to-month with the threat of eviction looming.
When David reached out to the Jessica June Children's Cancer Foundation (JJCCF) a non-profit organization that provides temporary financial assistance for needy children fighting cancer, its founder, Sandra Muvdi, sprang into action.

delayed at FLL
it's never a good sign when you see that your flight is an hour delayed BEFORE you even re-print your boarding pass and check your bag.
of course there is a family of asians in front of me during the seemingly idiot-proof check-in process. and wouldn't you know that one of their bags is eight pounds overweight. the lady behind the counter says, "you can either pay $50 or remove the weight." low and behold, the woman doesn't have the KEY to her own suicase. good luck with that.
i just heard a five-year-old say to another family: "you have a baby and i don't, so you can go and i can't. i have to wait because i don't have a baby." i hear ya kid.
a failed attempt at trying to find an outlet. no one travels with laptops these days or anything. i must be crazy. finding an outlet in this place is like trying to find all my receipts the morning after a friday night in south beach.
speaking of spending stupid amounts of money for nothing, i just had the worst bbq chicken pizza of my life courtesy of UNO. i think there was actual bbq sauce in one corner of the pizza, which was opposite the corner of the chunk of onion, which was adjacent to the sad-looking pile of chicken. i'm thirsty but since i spent $8.75 on a pizza the size of my pinky nail, i only have $1.25 left from my $10 (check out those math skillz - booyah) bill. and we all know that $1.25 at the airport MIGHT get you the guy behind the counter's number and nothing else.
"the local time is 6:35. the local weather is sunny." NO SHIT. there is no amount of ipod volume that can drown out these people.
i just slammed my elbow on this chair while trying to somewhat discreetly pull out my birth control pills. i give up for the moment and shove them under my laptop.
i spy a man leaving his seat next to a concrete pole ... there may be an outlet on the backside of said pole ... SUCCESS! definitely a top 10 play. high five! as my birth control pills drop onto the floor as i'm gathering my things ...
how do people talk on the phone in the airport? it's louder than an air force base with things taking off and landing and other people talking too loudly on THEIR cell phones. people summoning people to retrieve lost belongings at the security checkpoint and counter people (what are their actual job titles anyway?) telling you for the 234o8239479437th time that your flight is delayed due to airtraffic control and to stay in the gate area because your flight "may leave early." i mean who's that REALLY ever happened to?
my hands smell like hand sanitizer and greasy non-bbq sauce ...
weird that i'm jealous of people boarding a flight to kansas?????
