day 2

I have had that horrendous headache all day. It is just now diminishing. I feel like an angry bear. My kids even told me to please eat some sugar so I won't be so grumpy. I did however successfully drive 5 teenage boys to manteca without hurting anyone (thank God for the invention of ipods). I even resisted the starbucks in the parking lot of the hotel I dropped them off at. I want sugar !. Only 38 more days to go..arrggghh.

I am still in day one, although because of my crazy work scedule it feels like day 2. Anyways, about 10 more hours until I can go back to bed and dream of sugar plums. I was reading my previous post a few minutes ago and my daughter came in and asked me "isn't lent the stuff you pick out of the dryer?" Cute, reminds me of the time she asked me why "jesus swept". I have a huge headache and although I would like to think I am already feeling the effects of sugar withdrawel, I think that it is too early and will just have to put it down to sleeping too long. I have to get to the store to get my cat some food as I was reduced to feeding her some shredded chicken breast last night and she looked at me like I was crazy. She ate one little bite and walked off. I will not buy easter candy. I will not buy easter candy. Oh..and if anyone is interested. I found this scary article about sugar: http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/refined-sugar-the-sweetest-poison-of-all.html

the day i went crazy

Today I let my friend Joanne talk me into 40 days without sugar. She convinced me that anything was possible for just 40 days. Somehow we were talking about lent and even though neither of us are catholic we somehow got on the subject of going sugar free. So day 1 is just starting and its 2 hours and 43 minutes into it and all I can think of are the sweet tarts sitting on my bosses desk. One would think that the fact that I broke my dental bridge last week on one of those innocent hearts would be enough to make me stop. But oh, no, not even the $2,000 dental bill I will have to pay if I want to fix it is enough to deter me. I'm going to go home now, where there are no sweet tarts and have an apple (and I guess I will throw away those evil girl scout cookies:( )
