t-minus...

4 days

until i'm reunited with this rascal!!

and

I.CAN'T.WAIT!!

the no-sugar challenge: part 2...

people... I MADE IT!

no sugar for 30 days.

(minus a few cheat days i gave myself. sundays. birthdays. a girls gotta live a little.)

i'm feeling good.

to be honest, not as awesome as i thought you were supposed to feel, but i think we always dream these things to be bigger than they are.

i think the greatest thing i gained from this self-challenge was a little self-control.

it felt good to be offered a little sugar and be able to just simply say, "no thanks" rather than go off on some tyrannical and self-righteous rant about how i'm "sacrificing SO much" by not letting myself eat sugar (i was worried i'd do that).

.

that's why i'm back on here - recommitting myself for another month.

i was proud of my self-control.

and i want to continue that.

i think this has become bigger than just focusing on my health.

it's become about harnessing desire and being in control.

i like that.

so... commence month 2.

now!
