No Sugar..day 4

Is it really only day 4? I feel like I've been in the desert for weeks without water or something. Its pretty much all I think about at this point. Also the world is out to get me. Today at work they brought brownies and hot chocolate to the surgery dept for doing such a great job with our joint commission that just came through. Thanks PCMC, but you're not going to get me! Also at my work meeting today our boss brought Jolly Ranchers. At the beginning of the meeting I was like oh Jolly Ranchers are nothing, I can handle that. By hour 2 I was seriously close to blowing the whole thing off for a Jolly Rancher. Really? I don't even like Jolly Ranchers. PULL yourself together Liz! Only 5 weeks and 3 days to go :]

Laundry

I don't mind cleaning. There are, however, a few things within that category that I don't love.

1. Cleaning bathrooms in general but mostly toilets

2. Making beds (so dumb to hate it but unless I have David's help on the other side I get sick of walking around trying to make it look smooth)

3. FOLDING laundry

I really don't mind doing the laundry but I hang almost everything I own and a lot of what David wears up to dry. At the apt we had a wire line thing that I hung it all across but at the new house there's nothing. David and I have to hang it all over our house to let it dry. Its a hot mess. Then we throw it back in our laundry room and pretty much dig for our clothes for the next 2 months until I get real sick of it and decide to fold the beast of a pile.

I had pictures of it hanging all over the house but they got lost when our laptop died so I'll just show you the massive pile that I folded the other day. It may or may not have taken me 3 hours. Ridiculous :]

Presents!

So for Christmas my mother-in-law Kelly gave David and I each some money and told us to find something that we really wanted. Well I know its now Feb 15 but I just barely found what I want! They come in the form of 4.5 inch grey heels :] They're BEAUTIFUL! I cant get the picture to post for some reason so I guess I'll just have to wait until I get them and post a pic of me wearing them! Thanks Kelly!

Speaking of presents, yesterday we went to my mom's house for dinner and she was able to give David his birthday present. She wouldn't tell me what it was because she said it was kinda for both of us. So David gets this piece of paper and begins to read it while I'm just staring at him waiting to hear what it is...finally my mom said "its 2 passes for indoor skydiving"! WHAT! I'm so excited to go! I've wanted to go forever. So creative mom! We love it! That will have to be a future post because they give you the video of yourself flying. Get ready

P.S. Today is Day 1 no sugar! So far so good....at 7:54 am ;]

Keep me honest

So I am a bridesmaid in my friend Catherine's upcoming wedding and I need to lay off the suga a little if I really want to fit well in the dress! Literally. David had to help me put the dress on and I had to stop breathing to zip it up so I have decided this upcoming Monday 2/15 (after valentines day :]) I am stopping sugar until at least after her wedding on April 2nd. It will be good for my body anyways since I overload my diabetty body with candy and chocolate all the time! I am not going to stop the natural sugars like fruit, just my favorite kind of sugar like chocolate and cookies.

While I am thinking of the weeks I have coming at me I am reminded of the last time I tried to do this when I made it a total of 9 days. We went down to David's parent's house with some friends. It was one of the friend's birthdays that weekend so I told myself "hey liz, you've made it 9 days! Good for you! I am going to let you have just one little piece of cake this weekend as a reward!" Well needless to say I not only fell off the bandwagon but I got ran over a few times and I never got back up. Lets hope I can make it this time!

I'm telling everyone this because I'm hoping to use it as a tool in my head at 2 am when I'm about to pound the chocolate syrup straight out of the bottle. I'll say to myself "Liz, you are going to have to tell everyone you fell down again and they'll be so disappointed. AND they'll have to look at you in that bridesmaid dress thats not zipped up all the way and think to themselves thats so not cute." So when and if you see me ask me about how I'm doing. Constantly. Please :]

So I have 4 days left and I have a battle going on in my head about eating as much sugar as I can or slowly weening off of it so I dont have crazy with drawl. I think I'm going to break down steadily so I dont have a bad reaction like crazy headaches and not sleeping all night! Pray for me please!

Wii Night

When my brother Jon was in town from NC for my grandpa's funeral we spent some time at my parents house playing the Wii. It was a really fun time and I have videos to prove it. I have videos of everyone but figured I wouldn't put like 12 videos on this post so here are just a couple...sorry they're sideways. Just stretch your neck a little :]

In this one I have no idea why my brother Alec is randomly talking about some obituary haha

This is my bro Jon my dad and me. I loved getting to see Jon and spend time as a fam. What could be better :]

Can't Wait :]

Dear John,
