Well, OK, but Kirstie will need to do this more than once, and forget about the House of Pies for a while. (As always, check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program or diet, and drink plenty of water.)

48 HOUR LIQUID DIET:

1 1/2 CUP CARROT JUICE

1 BANANA

1/2 CUP GREEN TEA / STRONGLY BREWED

1 SCOOP SOY PROTEIN POWDER

Blend all the ingredients together. Serve over ice. Recipe yields 2 servings. Drink every 3 hours or less (up to 6 times per day). Try to use juices with no added sugar or corn syrups, this is the key to losing fast.

You are to eat NO SOLID FOODS, this is the key to losing weight. If you feel like you cannot make it, eat things that are mostly water, such as lettuce and celery or baby carrots.

Do this diet for 2 days ONLY. It is not meant to be continued after 2 days. It is meant to jump start your weight loss, or to get off those pesky 5-10 pounds quickly. This can be repeated every 4 weeks.

Whoa. I thought you were kidding. Now I'm glad I asked as I have at least 10 pounds of pesky weight I can't seem to get rid of. Thanks!

Poor Kirstie, she's just doomed.

I'm sure we all have much to be thankful for this week.

But read this touching story about what's going on in Afghanistan...what joy they are experiencing now that they're emerging from their darkness!

It starts a litte slow, but read it all the way through...right to the last line. Click the links, too.

"Key-holders".... I like that.

Come to think of it, this would be a nice story to share with family as we give thanks ourselves.

Whoa!

House of Pies...the closest to us is in Houston: three hours away.

What great glop.
