Day 1

It's day 1 of the great sugar detox of April 2011.

I've been doing great all day.

Not tempted by the Easter candy that has invaded my home.

Not tempted at all.

I even took a picture of myself to see if I really looked how I felt.

The answer?

Sure do.

And, no. I'm not posting it.

But, now...

As the rain pours outside.

As my head starts to hurt.

As I hit the wall and start feeling ready for bedtime.

As the kids whining starts to get on my every nerve.

I'm tempted.

Tempted to grab a handful of jelly beans.

Tempted to throw a peep in my mouth.

Tempted by the cute LITTLE Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Because, surely, that will give me TONS of energy and will give the patience I need to get through the day. Right?

Wrong.

It's a lie.

I refuse to listen to it.

I refuse to fall to it's temptation.

Like I said, it's the great sugar detox of April 2011.

It won't be easy.

It won't be fun.

It won't taste as sweet.

But, when the camera reflects a better me, I'll go ahead and show you what it showed me today.

And then?

It will totally be worth every uneaten jelly bean, peep and Reese's Peanut Butter cup!

I have been on detox for just over a week. I said to myself last week, "I work out every day. I should look like it." So I gave in and admitted I need to work on the food I eat. Here's to avoiding sugar...and grumpiness! Not sure if I can do both!

Hills. You either love them or hate them. Welcome them or dread them. Embrace or avoid them. Sometimes, I crave them.  I seek them o...
