Cereal Guilt.

Yeah, I ate two bowls of cereal for dinner tonight, and I actually feel guilty about it. I've hit the point where I have lost a bit of weight, and now kinda look sorta good, and my boyfriend is like, "Oooh, BABY!" And I feel like I should be able to eat cheesecake and donuts and pizza.

I almost ordered pizza for dinner. Now, I don't like pepperoni pizza or anything like that... I'm a huge fan of light sauce, light cheese, heavy veggie pizza with thin crust. The kind that's only around 150 to 180 calories for one slice. But I still didn't order it. I had some hot and sour soup for dinner, then about an hour and a half later ate two bowls of cereal. It wasn't Trix or anything, it was basically Special K. But, still. This is what happens when I don't have any salad left in my house. I need to go to the grocery store tomorrow.

At least I didn't dig into the cookie dough I have in the fridge. (I'm making Dan cookies as a surprise tomorrow!)

SO! No real news to pass on. No weight change in the past few days. I had a pre-wedding photo gig on a boat tonight, and I can just tell you guys, I'm SUPER sick of this rainy weather. Now, I love the rain. But NOT when I'm working. Not being able to take photos outside, in what I do for a living (social event photography) - it sucks!!!!! I got a few of the folks to go out onto the deck of the boat tonight, but it was really drizzling, with the wind from the movement of the boat, I couldn't keep anyone out there long, let alone keep myself out there (equipment + wearing glasses)... but I do love this shot:



But by the time I could get the Bride and Groom out, the wind was really blowing and the light was virtually gone. I love this picture, it's so funny because it shows exactly how the night was outside:




((sigh.))

So, I thought I'd share some recent photos of me doin' my photo thang:

My Fongsphere makes me look SOoooo pro:


A pretty clear illustration of my relationship with groomsmen:



I'm a Bridal gown and veil watcher/protector:


I'm a "show-em-how-it's-done" kinda girl:


I'm a "kissing when they clink their glasses" rule explainer:


I'm a straight-up-dork:


I'm hard-core dedicated to getting the shot:



Nothing else to report y'all. I'm looking forward to the next eleven days. No photo shoots or weddings until the 12th! Maybe I can actually, I don't know... clean my house or go to the gym.

Raw Detox Update - Day 2

Day 2 and I'm doing well! I have gone from 208 to 205.

Check out the watermelon meal I had last night:


Today for breakfast I had sliced strawberries and bananas. For lunch I had a green smoothie with strawberries, a banana, blueberries, spinach and celery. And for dinner, I made a huge raw salad with butter lettuce, radishes, mushrooms, cucumbers, gourmet sprouts, shredded carrots, and cherry tomatoes. I can't hang with dressingless salad yet, so I made a dressing with avocado, water, olive oil and fresh basil.

Dr. Steven Bratman and Orthorexia Nervosa

I recently discovered that my favorite Doc in Colorado, Steven Bratman M.D., is an author and coined the term "Orthorexia Nervosa" to describe people overly obsessed with eating healthy food.

I wanted to share this video with you. It's a spot from 20/20 and features bits of an interview with Dr. Bratman.

I purchased his book, "Health Food Junkies" and will be reviewing it on my blog within the next few weeks. In the mean time you can watch this video. It's really interesting. Though I think I'll mention that Dr. Bratman says not to take this video too seriously. 20/20 has a tendency to cut and paste a lot of different things to make the story what they want it to be. On that note, he also told me that Johnny is definitely Anorexic as opposed to having Orthorexia. But, it's an intro for you at the least, and I found it to be intriguing.

If you want a jumpstart on the book, you can pick one up here at Amazon.com. Oh, and don't forget to visit Dr. Bratman's website here.
