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?

I am burning the cookie recipe.

Apparently, I've started snorning according to Quinton. I think it's because of my fat neck from eating so many of "said cookies".

Now they're giving Laurie "Fright-Mares!" It's just not worth it!

Hahaha! Sorry Manda, just wanted to see if anyone was reading....where are all the comments?

Kimber, DON'T burn the recipe--DON'T do it!

Kimber,
Don't you dare throw away the recipe. It's to die for and when I can have sugar in 50 weeks I'll be looking for them!

As for my no sugar experience it has been hard but I'm still hanging in there. I have noticed that my mood is definitely more even. The only time I want to strangle my kids now is during homework time, which is a huge improvement. Also, I am noticing that I don't have the afternoon slump as bad as I used to.

My health goal to add this week is to drink 6 cups of water and 2 cups of skim milk every day. I started today and I've had 3 cups of water and 1 cup of milk so far...hum...
