Sweet Tooth?

I have a major sweet tooth.
I can eat a whole pan of cookies by myself, no problem.
I think I ate an entire pie on Thanksgiving by myself once.
Yes. I like baked goods.
This can definitely hinder any goals I have to get back in shape and maintain a healthy weight.
So in order to keep my cravings under control, I keep a bowl of gum balls on my table, and whenever I feel like having some sugar, I pop two in my mouth and chew away.
It's a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without gaining unwanted pounds.

holy moly

Tomorrow it begins. 

The Month Of No Sugar.

oh. my. gosh.

please tell me you have faith in me. tell me i can do it. "stay strong, melissa, stay strong!" you'll say.
and i will resist. i will triumph. cookies. cakes. brownies. they shall not prevail! 

weekly goal

last week my goal was to get all my picture files and cds organized. that didn't happen and i have a good reason. my mouse broke and I HATE using the little mouse pad on my laptop. microsoft is awesome and is sending me a new one for free.

so that's my excuse. i stole toms when i could, but i never had it long enough to really get anything done.

so i will continue to work on that. 

my goals this week are:

to lose 1 lb and cut out sugar

i know it might seem kind of silly. just one pound, you say? (oh my gosh, the "y" on my keyboard is sticking and its driving me NUTS!) 

but i just want to do it. that's my story and i'm stickin to it!

this also goes in hand with #5 of my 29 before 29 goals. 

i need your guys' cheerleading skills. i have a serious sugar addiction and it's not going to be easy. but after reading what sugar does to our bodies, its just not worth it. 

did you know:

When we consume too much sugar, its converted into fat, and our blood actually turns into a "pink cream", which can barely get through our veins, and then is deposited in our abdominal fat cells.

sick dude.
