2 minute jog

Hurricane Irma is entering the state of Florida as I type this. We are concerned for our Orlando family that is hunkering down with a bathtub full of water.
My 16 year old got a crested gecko yesterday she is naming Roman.
My 7th grade son had to run for 5 minutes in gym on Friday. It is Sunday. He is still sore.
Husband, both daughters, aging black lab and I went for a jog just now.
My heart is still thumping. 15 second walk, 15 second jog. 4 times through took two minutes.
We even repeated it on the way home.
4 minutes of exercise for the family. I guess we have to start somewhere.
It sure would be fun if this continued. I'm not getting my hopes up.
I started my first ever dietbet sort of thing on Sept. 5. If i lose 4% in 4 weeks I get to split the winners pot. I can't imagine making any money from this but it's still incentive to pass on desserts except for the homemade chocolate chip ice cream, homemade huckleberry ice cream and homemade egg free donuts last night. After our friend bought and delivered MOD pizza to my family.
I'm so grateful.

Another new day

Going sugar free tomorrow. With my momma as my coach. I'm still praying Jacqueline Smith will consider me for her detox scholarship!
I'm going to bed at 213 and hoping and praying for smooth transition to a sugar free life.
Honestly I'm not sure exactly what it looks like. Well still have ketchup and pizza when it's fairly unavoidable. But no sugar other than that. Maybe a little honey in things. Very limited.
May my stomach no longer be my god.

Around the mountain again

Last Wednesday I hung up the ole sugar towel. Had Panda Express one night and orange chicken the next. But overall very good. Glad to feel more alert in mornings and better night time sleep

Sugar free for good

I don't ever want to go back. 

I want to be sugar free for life! 

I want my sister(s) and mom and kids to all be sugar free. 

Today is a new day

Shimmer of hope

It's been a good year so far overall but bad eating day today.  Luke, Kathryn and I jumped in the freezing cold river. I've started swimming M, W, an F at 5:00-6:30. 

New beginnings

I love the freshness of a new year. Fifty minutes left in this year though we've watched the ball drop so it feels like 2016. This year I hope for far less sugar, more order, more exercise, less screens, more balance, less "drama". The only way to make this happen is to make it happen. Let's start with sleep. 

For the record, I hate food. At least I feel like I hate food. Or at least the kind of food I've been eating. Yuck. I'm sure PMS has it's roll to play but I feel crabby, exhausted, did I mention crabby? My weight, ya, right back how it was. Why oh why can't I live sugar free? I fear it will take some trauma or outside fear of some kind to make a lasting change. I feel like fasting all day tomorrow. I doubt I will.
