God speaks and if you listen hard enough you'll hear him - It had been 5 years since I had a physical and when I called they had a cancellation for the next day - I called the gastroenterologist today to schedule a colonoscopy - fun fun - and guess what - they had a cancellation for Monday at 730. God knows that if I have time to think about these things I will back out of them and cancel the appointments - so he provided openings with no window for thinking. I am very nervous about this whole thing. Thanks alot Mom!! If it wasn't for your genes I wouldn't have to do this! Just Kiddin' - I love ya!
Day 3 of no sugar and I have made it! I went to Starbucks with my usual crew this morning and did OK - When BJ asked if I wanted to go I told him I didn't think I had enough will power to say no to a hot chocolate - he said he'd coach me through it! So - got there - waited in line - ordered a Passion Tea Lemonade with no sweetener! Yay! I made it. Certainly didn't taste as good as I know that Hot Chocolate would have. Then I just ate fruit and carrots and a lean cuisine. Yum Yum!!
Bus Story - I was late to the PR so I was pretty far back in the line so I didn't get my "usual" seat. I had to sit on the outside aisle part of a seat - which would hadn't been so bad if the person who was by the window hadn't been taking up 3/4 of the whole seat - I had to ride the whole way in to Seattle with my left butt cheek hanging off the side of the seat! Every time we went around a corner I had to dig my fingers in to the back of the seat in front of me so I wouldn't land in a heap in the aisle. Definitely not a relaxing ride to work!
Tomorrow's Friday!!!!

Giving Up Sugar
I was lazy last night so I didn't blog - I was out in the living room and my laptop was in my bedroom - I just didn't have the energy to walk the 20 or so steps to get it!! I know - how pathetic!
I have admitted to myself that I am addicted to sugar - the first step is admitting you have a problem. So yesterday was my first day trying to go cold turkey and not eat any processed sugar products. This may have contributed to my laziness. I felt good for awhile but then I just crashed energy wise. I think maybe I need to add walks in to the mix because I have heard that can give you an energy boost. Today is day 2 of the sugar detox process - i brought in strawberries, grapes, and carrots to snack on throughout the day. Hopefully this keeps the cravings for a huge chocolate bar at bay. I did have a small slip up this morning - I went to Starbucks with my usual group this morning and got my hot chocolate - which I usually get non-fat and only 2 pumps of chocolate instead of the 5 it usually comes with - but the Barista messed up my order and put all 5 pumps in and it tasted so nasty and upset my stomach really bad - so I'm not sure it can be counted as a major slip up because I don't think the sugar was in my system all that long! Eww! I have heard that sugar withdrawals can be worse than caffeine withdrawals - I hope I don't get headaches and really cranky - life should be fun and I will keep you posted!
Oh - check back tonight as I hope to blog and add a picture of something I found on a chair when I got home last night. Ooooh - are you intrigued!
