Hiya Donna supporters and Disney fans,

Here we are on Day 3.  I did manage to remain Sugar-free yesterday, and I have the headache to prove it.  🙂  Now I aim to get through today and the rest of this week….wait, nope, I have to just think about today.  I can stay sugar-free today.

Today’s getting ready for Disney deed is pure, unadultered grunt work.  They put new windows in my office at work yesterday, so it looked as though a mini-tornado had ripped through the room.  Today I grunted my file cabinet back into place, I groaned and pushed my desk back into place, I carried everything back to my desk and arranged it in working fashion.  I am woman; hear me roar!  🙂

Tonight Mike (my husband) and I will move all of the contemporary band stuff out of the sanctuary at church, because they will clean and seal the floor on Monday.  It might not be cardio, but I can tell you, my heart will be beating overtime tonight.  It will be a good muscle workout, too.  And that, my friends, will be plenty for today.

See you at the Kingdom.

Hiya, Disney-hipsters and Donna supporters,

Day 2 here I come.  I faced the music this morning and stepped on the scale for the first time in many months.  Woo!  Talk about shock.  I’ve heard it said that the truth hurts.  I believe it!  However, I need a baseline to begin from.  I won’t step on the scale for another month.  My changes are not so much about the scale, as about how I feel.

Today’s change is going sugar-free.  I am blessed to have a support program through my insurance.  It’s a Mayo Clinic program under the umbrella of Portico Benefit Services.  I have signed up for a 2014 Wellness Activity.  It is appropriately titled “Break a Habit: Go Sugar-Free.”  Here’s what they say about it: “Eliminate foods with more than a tiny amount of added sugar–desserts, condiments, sweetened drinks, etc.  If you want something sweet, eat fresh fruit.  WHY?  Refined sugar has calories but no nutritional value.  Yet it’s increasingly part of the American diet and a contributor to the increase in obesity.”

Really?  In my mind it’s the largest level in the food pyramid.  🙂  Just kidding, but it truly is my biggest addition.

Here’s the plan:

1. I will go sugar-free today.
2. I will go sugar-free for one week.
3. I will go sugar-free for four more weeks.

Hopefully by then, it will be out of my system.  then I’ll choose another Habit to make or break.  Help me Jesus!

See you at the Kingdom.
