I have a confession to make. Hard to believe, I know. I had sugar today. I caved, I couldn't help it. I was doing so well too. I was subbing in first grade today and the class was not behaving as well as they had the day before and I was getting frustrated. My feet were hurting so bad that I could hardly walk by the end of the day. So I was feeling GREAT! During lunch I had a little lunch pack that came with some yummy healthy stuff like chicken salad, soy nuts, dried cranberries, whole grain crackers and such. The pack also included 2 shortbread cookies. Even though the cookies were made with an unrefined sugar, and there was very little sugar in them, it was sugar non the less and I had to confess it.
But wait. . . there's more. I had a S.A.S.S. jewelry party and the devilish girl scout cookies that were still sitting in my pantry came out for my guests. I just wanted them out of my house! After everyone was gone my business partner, Brieanne, and I were cleaning up, when I could stand it no longer. I lunged for a Samoa and before she even knew what had happened, it was in my mouth. It tasted good! Then I grabbed a Thin Mint and then another. Brieanne, being the good friend that she is, immediately took the cookies, but not before I was able to to grab another half of a Samoa! Ha!
There you have it. I had sugar today. I know I will pay for it tomorrow, but hopefully it will not take so long to get out of my system. My feet are killing me so I am resting them on ice packs while I write this and my feet are now sufficiently numb to help with the pain. I will do better tomorrow.
Have any of you had a set back? I would love to hear about it!

I only have one suggestion for you: MUTILATION! Squish it, mush it and then trash it. Some how there is some satisfaction in that.
