Apron, Doing Without, Just Because

Mint Julep Monograms has sent me my apron and can you tell how happy I am

The creator is Hillary and she can put a letter or a name and I chose 'Spice' because that was my nickname growing up and I think it turned out fabulous!

The full overall look with my nice dressy shirt and pajama pants and snow boots that you cant see hahaha Thank you soooo much Mint Julep Monograms for this awesome apron. She has many other items besides aprons including: bags, towels, robes, cups etc

Well I did without the blasted sugar this week and it went really well actually. Besides the headaches I think it was rather successful. I did sneak a couple sips of coke and bite of cookie but definitely within the last two weeks there was a weeks worth of no sugar.

I havent really thought of anything to do my week's without but suggestions are always welcome.

So this past week has been a crazy as far as my woman feelings and my body crazies. I seriously SERIOUSLY felt like I was pregnant. The headaches, the boob craziness, the pain in my lower abdominal region. So I made the man get a pregnancy test. Granted there is no way I could be, due to be 'tied up' but I just wanted to make sure. Why do women have to go through all these crazy body changes? Well the test came up negative so that made me feel a little better lol

Hope everyone has a FanFreakinTastic week!!

This no sugar is kicking my A$$!

Did I mention I am on my period?

Did I mention that I am not a happy person on my period?

Did I mention that sugar makes me happy?

Of course not.

Day two and I am going strong with no cookies no sweets of any kind

So glad I am only doing this for a week because I would be going crazy!

I was really wanting some sugar earlier

because I was an angry hormonal woman

but then I drank some milk and it is amazing how sweet it tasted

almost drank the whole gallon.

The next week without I am going to choose something that is not food

but I have no idea what to choose.

Any ideas?!

I have been working out in the morning and my legs have been killing me.

Slim in 6 really works to get you slim. lol

I have also been walking again which is good because I have been so lazy

hopefully it will get me out of these stupid 160's

How is everyone doing on their weight-loss?

Are you taking the holidays off or pushing forward?

Temptations

So this past week I withheld from sugar and I did pretty good. I didnt realize everything that had sugar. I didnt have any special treats but I still had lemonade and the occasional soda and if I really wanted to be off sugar I would of not had that as well.

I included this graph because really sugar intake is rising and it is a big contributor to weight gain. We need to be mindful of what we put into our bodies. I got this picture at DailyMe



The week went well until about Friday. I wasnt craving any but without thinking and wanting my breath to smell minty fresh I popped in a piece of gum. When I went to the store later I was thinking oh I cant have that or that and then it hit me. Holy Shiz!! I am chewing a freaking piece of gum!! Can we just say disappointment. Then my husband gets me a vanilla shake and I look at him with a bewildered look. Then it hits him oh crap I forget he says. Well I for sure didnt let it go to waste although I could not drink all of it. LOL Monday to friday is how well I did without sugar.

This next week I am going to try and do it for reals because I dont want to move on to something else until I conquer this. I will be strong! No sugar from Monday to Monday

Weigh-In, Doing without?, Giveaway

209.6 for the man

160.0 for me

measurements will be updated on the side bar

I was doing so good yesterday in my eating. I had a smoothie for breakfast, exercised on the wii fit with me liv-ster and even had a sensible lunch. It started going down hill when we didnt eat dinner before six and had to go into town which was an hour away. What time did we get to eat you ask. We ate at 9:30pm on our drive home getting food from Wendy's. I know you can get healthy choices and eat light but I so did not do that. I was grumpy and frumpy and dammit I wanted a french fry. Side note: they have really yummy french fries with sea salt. YUM! but dont let me tempt you.

Which leads me into my next big excitement. I have decided each new week, Monday to Monday, I am going to do without something or do something daily. I am going to NEED YOUR help because I wont be able to think of these things on my own.

So far I have done a week without Facebook and this week I am doing without sugar, Drazil inspired me. When I say sugar I mean: cookies, cakes, ice cream and any other sweet treat. Pretty much everything in my kitchen at the moment. Two days have come and gone and I am still going strong. It is kind of nice to test your strength.
