LAB RAT AT IT'S FINEST

Welcome to the new world!

I am so excited we are cancer free I can't even blog anymore!! 

HA.

But really.

Now what do I do.

This was my outlet to the world of Adam's crazy medical"ness" and now that it's all over..

<fingers already crossed for the next scan in May>

I don't have anything more exciting than the next fashion, cupcake making, tea drinking, mother of the perfect four, skinny and sewing blogger.

And so, I post about being a LAB RAT.

I signed up to do a glutamate weight loss study at UC Davis. 

Meeting with a dietician once a week AND getting paid to lose weight??

Why wouldn't I?

Well, because I only get to eat 1500 calories a day. 

Do-able. 

Most certainly.

But what about those wee hours of the night when a bag of chips and cheesecake are the only things on my mind! 

NOT ALLOWED.

To break it down I have about 40 appointments with these researchers over the course of 6 months. 

The first 9 weeks I am to lose 5-10% of my body weight.

Then the next week is testing galore. 

I believe I'm doing like 25 hours of tests that week.

Then it's research time.

For 4 weeks they give me all my meals and before each one I drink 4 oz of broth.

The broth is either MSG or just a salt broth. Double blind here folks.

Then more testing and I'm free.

Six months is a long time.

To being healthy and supporting scientists!!  

Also, I'm headed to Fresno tomorrow for some more haircuts, colors, and lashes.

LOVE my job:)

Below is a snap from my most recent shoot. 

Clearly obsessed with the ombre technique.
