This weekend my coworker and I decided to do a smoothie cleanse. I don’t know if you can really consider it a “cleanse” as we only did it for two days, but basically on Saturday and Sunday we ate nothing but green smoothies… or drank, I guess. I had one smoothie that didn’t have greens, but it had carrots, so it was a pretty, vibrant orange. (I don’t have any pictures of that one. At that point I was over the smoothies-only thing.) In the end, I decided that I would definitely incorporate more green smoothies into my diet (currently I have one in the morning), but I would like to eat other things as well. When you tell me (or in this case, when I tell myself) that I can’t eat that piece of bread or that slice of cheese it makes me want it more. It’s that whole forbidden fruit thing I guess.
Weekly Wishes #14

Also, Little One recently snuck up on a glass of green smoothie and dipped her spotted little nose into it before anyone noticed and now she is hooked. She attacked me after I finished drinking my first green smoothie of the weekend to try and clean out the jar and she stared me down while I was drinking green smoothies after that.
While drinking green smoothies, I spent my weekend writing and watching Reign. I had all of the episodes to date saved on my DVR and I sat down to watch the first episode thinking that I wouldn’t like it and I’d end up deleting the rest. Why I thought this, I don’t know. I love all types of shows and books like that, but for whatever reason I thought that this one wouldn’t entertain me as much as the others. I was wrong! I was incredibly sad when I reached the last episode that has aired. Does anyone else watch (and love) Reign?
It’s time for Weekly Wishes and it looks like it will be a busy week for me. But first, how did I do on last week’s Weekly Wishes? 1) I wanted to get caught up on NaNoWriMo. I’m not 100% caught up yet (see: watching Reign and my answer to #2 as reasons why). But hey, we have one more week and I don’t work the last three days of the week so I can spend them clacking away at the keyboard. 2) I wanted to continue going strong with workouts while getting caught up on NaNo and this was definitely a success. I’ve been thinking about how much farther along I’d be on my NaNo goal if I wasn’t so insistent on keeping a workout schedule this month, but to be honest, my goal of working out trumps my goal of writing 50,000 words throughout the month because I don’t want to slack off on workouts and lose interest. If I make a decent dent in this novel (which I am) and continue to work out throughout the month, I will consider the month a success.
This week my Weekly Wishes are to:
1. Finish the NaNoWriMo strong.
2. Continue to work out, while working on NaNoWriMo.
3. Get some work done on a web project.
What are your goals for the week? Link up with Melyssa over at The Nectar Collective to share and see what everyone else is working on this week.
Your dog is PRESH!!! Oh my goodness. Also kudos to you for even doing TWO days on the smoothie-only cleanse! I have been wanting to try to do a cleanse of some sort, but I don't think I have what it takes lol.
Visiting from the linkup!

My only wish this week is to get over the fact that some people that I love just don't really have respect for me. Hard pill to swallow!
You are doing NaNoWriMo !! That's super SUPER cool. All the best Crystal.
Good luck for this week!
