Want an appetite suppressant? Try this (HASAY update)
Monday, May 18, 2009 at 10:25AM We're on week 30 of HASAY. HASAY, in case you're just tuning in, is a bloggers weight-loss support group, masterminded by Casey. She runs the place with an iron fist. Nevermind that the iron fist is occasionally full of Cheetos.
So hubby and I are still doing our detox/cleanse, and amazingly sticking to it. He's regarding it as more of a temporary diet, I think, but is enormously supportive. It wouldn't do, as he says, to be eating Doritos and slugging back a Pepsi while your significant other is trying to subsist on organic salads and powdered fibre. It's just rude.
Plus, it might come back to bite you in the ass at some point. Ahem.
Anyway, my focus on my growling tummy sort of took back burner this weekend to my sick toddler. There is nothing quite like being repeatedly vomited on, worrying about whether you're going to have to pack the whole show off to the hospital for the love of Blog don't make me have to take him to the hospital, and then after you've just managed to do some vomit-covered laundry, you get hit with the second wave: diahrrea.
GOOD TIMES, people. Good times.
In addition to all the standing-and-rocking I've been doing, I managed to get in some yard work yesterday and some yoga prior to the Linda Blair impersonation. Not exactly aerobic, but I'm not providing my body a metric tonne of fuel right now, either.
The Wii Fit (after berating me) informed me that I'm down 3 lbs from my, um, fluffiest. I'm willing to bet that was just the contents of my colon. Hopefully I can flush a few more pounds out before I'm done.
Flush. Heh.

Ugh. The double dirty. Having to clean both ends, usually at the same time, is NOT fun.
I haven't stepped on the WiiFit since sometime after I got it. Which was at Christmas.
The dreaded stomach flu. I sympathize, cleaning other people's eruptions does a number on your frame of mind, and your appetite. I hope you don't catch it, but if you do, that's gotta be good for at least another three pounds...bright side, right?
I've been doing the no sodium, low calories, high fiber all vegetable (cux duh vegetarian) thing for 2 weeks now. Down 8 pounds!. If I can do it you can because I have no will power.
Sorry to hear X is sick. Hope he's feeling better today.
Having a hubby be encouraging and helpful is a massive step forward. And one that I rarely receive.
Oh, Gah! Um, here's a "feel better" to X and a "feel lighter" to you. I know I would never have the resolve to do a detox. Too many foods have me on their shit list.
Shit. Heh.
Ew, both versions of hell in one weekend, you're so lucky!! Yoga is good actually. My yoga for dummies video says you can actually lose weight if you stick to it! It tones too so that'll work. I feel all flexy and relaxed when I'm done.
Barfing toddlers is usually the best appetite suppressant around. However! If you're like me and today was the 8th time this year she's puked.... let's just say BBQ chips and cupcakes are still the food of choice. (6 hours after the barf incident!) Good luck with the cleanse.... Catch ya tomorrow.
OH... AND BY THE WAY!!! You have some kind of zombie award thing on mah Thursday post last week that is crowding up the joint. Come n get yer shit!
Fluffiest is such a cute way to describe it. (: Aww, fluffy.
Congrats on the 3 lbs? Or was Wii just lying to prop up your confidence? J/K.. the cleanse thing is working.
Wii Fit makes me angry and I ignore every word that squeaky little bastard says to me. But I do love the aerobics! Congrats on your three pounds of colon excavation. *shudders*
If I get sick I'm blaming you when I leaning over the toilet and asking God to put me out of my misery and strike me with lightening.;)
Feel better soon! or is this from the detox?
ew.
Wow, you are really sticking to that cleanse. Good for you. Nothing like some vomit and diarrhea to take the edge off your appetite.
Oy, so sorry about the excretions going on at your house! That you are sticking to the cleanse is awesome.
Hope X feels better soon.
Being covered in puke is fabulous, isn't it? It beats going to the hospital though. Trust me.
Hope everyone feels better at your house...
Here's hoping Xander feels better soon.
Sorry about the sick kid...but your colon sounds bright and shiny! Yay!
ps - I have yet to touch my wii fit trainer. It mocks me from the entertainment center.
You are brave on the detox thing.
I hope the little guy feels better soon, though. That is the kind of detox no one needs.
I hate my Wii Fit. Mainly because I can never seem to get on it between trying to do laundry and playing Super Heroes with my son.
Week 30??? I'm only on week 3 or 4. Either way, this weekend was so busy and so damn long I didn't even realize yesterday was Monday. In fact, it caught me off guard that today is actually Tuesday....
I need a nap.
You said fluffy. And it made me chuckle.
Hi Keely Thanks for commenting on my blog. Good luck on the weightloss regime. Sorry about the stomach flu thing. It seems to be a worldwide phenomenon at the moment as we have had family here going through the same thing as well.
Dude, down three pounds? Can you lick something and send it my way so I get the same stomach flu? Please?
so glad you are sticking with it...having your kid puke all over you is the best appetite suppressant in the world
ugh - stomach flu/food poisoning is THE WORST!
Good on the 3 lbs, yay!! I'll check out HASAY, I definitely need a kick.
