day 2: dave

I received my first blog comments! Thank you so much everyone!

My first three comments in history were from 1. my boyfriend, 2. my boyfriends mom and 3. a good friend I've known for 15 years. I'd say that's pretty comparable to Julie's first comments, whom, according to the movie, was her very own mother. I may mention or refer to some comments in my daily blogs depending on how they fit in. My very first comment fits in delighfully for today.

Which really brings us to day two of my 365 days. The perfect time to introduce my boyfriend! Dave...I love you sugar pie.

Way to go Shawndra! It is nice to see that you found inspiration and have been able to set a goal for yourself. Do you know what you are going to do next to accomplish the goal you have set?- Dave

Very nice, very cute, very supportive comment. Don't you agree?

Here is a rundown of Dave's eating habits for the past few years:
First (when we met) - Pescatarian: Those who abstain from eating all meat with the exception of fish. I tell you because, I'll be honest, I had no idea what the word meant when I first heard it.

Next (started April 3rd)- Low Carber: Person who basically cuts out all flour and sugar. That isn't a technical term or definition, but he still went along with me for the ride...with great success; he has also lost a total of 40 lbs.

NOW (started last Wednesday) - I was introduced to a raw fruits and veggies 10-day plan. It is 70% raw fruits and veggies all throughout the day and 30% protein (small piece of chicken, fish or even shrimp) in the evening with lightly steamed veggies.

This is clearly a very brave man. I'm sure that he will come up from time to time and now it won't go like this...Dave (that's my boyfriend). Having someone so supportive there with me, experiencing it all, seeing the results together...words cannot describe how much it has helped me. It is encouraging, to say the least. And if he can get through 5 days of the raw fruits and veggies cleanse, he can certainly get through my new 'annoyingly passionate' outlook on the next 363 days.

And so, to answer your question...Do you know what you are going to do next to accomplish the goal you have set? I say to you, Dave...It may involve more celery, hun. Sorry.

  1. I have to admit, I have mixed emotions...
    I am very proud of Shawndra, and her blog is and will be amazing.... however, I am a selfish man! When she plunked down and started writing on her blog last night I thought .... diet and a blog? How can one man handle it? Do not get me wrong, my only involvement is love and support, but I am worried about "us time". Part of what makes supporting Shawndra so worthwhile is our time together, and I am a little jealous of her new boyfriend, Mr. Blog ;) . I would never want to hold her back from what she is passionate about though, so I guess we will all have to get along. She has been talking about letting Mr.Celery move in with us for the next 363 days though, and I think I may have to draw the line there.

    I Love you Shawndra

    -Dave

  3. Ha! I warn you, blogging can seem like Homework sometimes, especially if you're really trying to do a daily check in.

    Here's some advice someone gave me a long time ago. The best way to get people to comment on your blog is to comment on other people's blogs. Especially ones along the same genre. There's a pluthera of weight loss blogs out there. So go make some friends!
