My quest for better health

Just a quick update on my continued quest for better health. I'm still hanging in there without sugar, but have definitely decided that Halloween is an evil holiday! Living in the house with huge amounts of candy everywhere makes me feel like an alcoholic forced to live in the state liquor store... On a more positive note I think it is definitely making a difference. On the down side, I've substituted chips for sugar. I'm going to have to go off chips before this is over.

My goal after no sugar was to drink 2 cups of skim milk and 6 cups of water every day. I've been spending a vast amount of time in the bathroom and hope this eventually subsides.

My next goal was to take a multi vitamin every day and amazingly this one has been incredibly hard. I think I'm going to put them by my toothbrush and try to take them at night. Maybe I'll have better luck remembering.

My goal for this next week is to eat fruit every day. I eat practically no fruits or vegetables. If anyone has any ideas for working more fruits and veggies into the day I'd love to hear them.

Twilight Movie

What do you guys think about getting a group together to go see the Twilight movie coming out in November? I heard opening night is already sold out. What about Fri Nov 21st?

It's the DAY to register--anyone?

Today starts class registration for Stories In Hand! Anyone want to take this really cool FREE class with me?

Fright-Mares!

Okay, so it's been a week now that I have been off the sugar (or should I say desserts). I would like to report that it is getting easier, but that would be a lie.....Here's the score:

Disposition? Ornery and irritable--no change
Cravings? Yes
Weight loss? Well, I thought I was going to report the sad truth that there was no change there either, but this morning the scales dropped 2 lbs. I will have to hold off on that report to see if the 2 lbs come back tomorrow--as usual

Then to top it off, I have been having these fright-mares (and you thought I was going to talk about Lagoon--Ha! No). I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat because I dreamed I was with my sisters mindlessly popping handfuls of M&M's in my mouth. That was day 1. Day 2 came with Kimber and her homemade cookies. After I ate 3 of them I woke up in a fit of shameful guilt....I'm not sure I can handle this. The torture during the daylight is one thing, but all night long too?! Spare me! There ought to be a few moments of refuge at night, don't you agree?

So, Laura, how are you doing? This seems like a blog between you and I, so why not? By the way, are you planning on going to Joanne's boutique? I tried calling you today to see if you wanted to go to the Sassy Bliss boutique with me, but you were avoiding my calls, so I didn't go. Hope there wasn't something to die for there! Are we going to hit the boutique circuit this year?

New Look

Hey Ladies, how do you like the look of the blog? I was going to do a couple designs but ya know what... it took way to long just to make this one. I think we're stuck with it for a while until I feel we need a change.
Hope you all have a lovely UEA weekend.
