Sugar, oh baby, baby, you are my honey girl…(plus my inner Angela and Kama acted up!)
is that how that song goes??? i can’t quite remember and i know everyone younger than me just realized how OLD i really am!
Thanks for all the Sugar reader and commentors yesterday. I tell ya, that stuff is fierce if you let yourself get too close to it. No worries, I am done with that level of sugar ingestion, it was just so obvious and odd and finally all that addiction/withdrawal stuff made sense to me on the physical level. i am glad to be done with that craziness! Will I still crave sweet things, of course and that is fine with me, but I’m not going to let the constant input of sugar leave me depending on it again!!! YUCKO!!!
In other news, my husband turned off the TV last night. What?!?!? Now, it was 10 pm and I had walked away to check in here and to go potty, but I was going abck for more. I mean those sitcom reruns aren’t going to watch themselves are they? If it’s not me, then who will curl up on the couch with all that food for an extra hour before bed time??? Seem like no one and what a good thing that was!!!
I didn’t turn the TV back on even though i had planned my extra TV alone time. The time I eat the most. Having to turn the TV back on was such a statement that I wanted to binge and checkout and do this destructive thing that I just couldn’t do it. So, you know what, I didn’t - I went to sleep and read some funnies.
Then this morning I woke up at 4:45 resettled my son who had woken and then couldn’t go back to sleep. But, I wasn’t tired. I had Angela and Kama running through my head this morning. I knew that they would be up at 4:30 doing there workouts and spiritual practices. I had this epiphany that if you rally want something you make it happen. You get up at 4:30 when your work schedule changes or when your life is crazy because it is important to you to get the exercise in. You keep at it because you want it and need it. You don’t just use life happening as an excuse.
And, so, I channeled my inner Angela and Kama and got my ass out of bed. Instead of turning the computer on, I sat and meditated for 15-20 minutes. Then i put in that prenatal yoga video for 60 minutes. Then I walked the dog briskly for 30 minutes all before 7 and all before my son got up. My husband actually got ready for work while I was gone instead of waiting for the child to awake which we normally would do. We were all happy. Now, Austin slept a little later today than usual, but either way the mornings are possible. This may just have to become my “me” time.
The kicker was - I was so damn happy all morning!!!! That was just great!!!! WOO HOO!!! Now, I could use a nap 
Or maybe I’ll just turn the TV off at 10 again tonight!

I miss my me time! It’s important for everyones sanity I think. Glad to see you got the yoga in this morning.
I need to do that. Ive let tv become to big a part of my life. Honestly I use it as an escape tool, and my company keeper. Sleeping earlier and waking earlier sounds like a better choice, especially since the freakin birds seem to start up at 4 now anyway
WOW What an awesome start to your day.
That really did make your whole day better didn’t it?
I know I sure do enjoy my early morning workouts when theres no one else around buggin’ and no phone ringing etc etc etc.
It sets the whole tone for the day too.
WAY TO GO

Great Job Deb!!!I’m pushing my snooze at 4:30, haven’t gotten that part of self control down yet…I did go to the gym a few times before work and ya, it made my day so much better.
Try the going to bed early and getting up early for a week and see how you like it.. It just might be the answer to night snacking.
Great job Little Momma! -Dee
SUGAR, OH HONEY, HONEY
YOU ARE MY CANDY GIRL
AND YOU GOT ME WANTING YOU!!!!!
haha that song brings back memories
That is so awesome! Glad you are feeling better. You know when I read A New Earth I did not do the meditations at all. Naughty me. But now that I have a book club and am giving the book another read, I am so going to meditate regularly. So good for us.
Have a great weekend!
Debbie you are my candy girl! You are so sweet and I am so blessed to have you for a friend. Besides who else do I know that has my obsession for sugar? just kidding! Check out my blog from today I posted lots of goodies us healthy eaters can have, yummy! mommy! Luv! Ya! sista!
I am convinced the television is the work of the Devil…along with cookies, ice-cream and just about anything that tastes good.
Your epiphany is right up there with what I need to realize, that in order to get to where we WANT to be, we need to put forth work and make it happen.
Thanks for channeling your inner Angela and inner Kama because it has given me an epiphany as well!
OMG, thatwas my favorite song as a kid! Now I’m really dating myself, lol.
Well I do know tv can be my donwnfall, and I always want to snack in front of it!
Ok, I wss NOT up at 4:30 this morning, I slept in until 8. But I am so proud of you!! Hmmm, I wonder did you have two little imps on your shoulders (me and Angela waking you up?lol) Good job girl, I am so proud of you! And also for not turning that box back on. HUGS!
Awesome job Debbie on choosing not to eat in front of the Tv and getting your exercise in early this morning.
