I don't know if it is the crazy days at work, the long hours, or sheer laziness that has caused me to avoid the list for a few weeks. I feel guilty, but I am telling myself it is okay, just get back on track.
We will see how I will do. Unfortunately I have now not been able to complete some of the items on the list as they were things to do weekly.

Wooh
Crazy few days - getting up at 5:30 to get to the gym, shower there and get to work by 7:30 then working 9-10 hours, doing errands, running home for dinner, the off to bed! Exhausted, wide awake.
I am completely spent - but really wanted to update this blog!!
#54 - The Gym - I managed to go Saturday and Sunday - making 3 for that week. I have been both Monday and Tuesday of this week.
#58 - weighed early this week (on Monday) but, just below goal. Phew.
#57 - uh oh. I gotta do this soon! I bet it would help me sleep.
#72 - Released "Double Shot" at Rhapsody (a restaurant in Montpelier) - My Mom was with me, it was very cool. We were very discreet about it.
#78 - Intended to get this done on Mother's day - but needed to rely on the cell phone to make the three way call to my Mother-in-Law. This will just wait for another day.
#87 - Spent the day with Mom - it was fantastic. We had a great brunch, took a long walk, browsed book stores and an antique store, and went to a movie (What Happens in Vegas). The movie was okay. A little immature, but fun none the less.

Maybe next month
Okay. It has become obvious that I will have to wait on the avoiding sugar thing for a bit. Apparently I do not have the inner strength to do this at this time.
Yesterday we planted Spinach, Swiss Chard and Lettuce in our garden!
They were planted in the middle bed of this picture. I have been assured it is okay to plant these items at this time of year. I can't help but be concerned though, because we are the only ones (out of 10 community gardeners) who have planted anything.
# 6 is Weed twice a week, but I have not seen any weeds yet!
#58 - Weighed myself on Thursday. Right on goal. 2 out of 143 done.
#78 - Planning on going without computer, TV or Cell phone tomorrow. I don't expect any issues. I will be going to visit my Mother in Barre for the day. Oh! That will give me one out of 11 for #87.
# 54 - Gym - I did not make it to the gym on Thursday or Friday - but I am headed there this morning - so it looks like I will have succeeded in moving the week from Thur - Wed to Tue - Mon.
#72 - I released 5 books into the wild yesterday on Bookcrossing.com. I love releasing books into the wild! So much fun. I think that my "30" for a goal was too low. When I was handwriting my list I wrote 50 books - but when I posted the list on my blog, I changed it to 30. I am going to change it back to 50.
All in all, the list is looking pretty good today - even considering the avoiding sugar debacle.

30 days left on my quest for 30 days with no sugar
Alas! The addicts call of "life is too stressful to be doing this now" took hold and I thoroughly enjoyed a TWIX at about 4pm.
I will start again tomorrow.
Here are my rules for the no sugar. Alternative sweetners are okay, as long as they are not processed - so honey is fine, fruit is fine. I am avoiding products that have sugar (or high fructose corn syrup) in them.
I have given up sugar before (a couple of years ago - gave it up for 40 days) so I should be able to do this.
I came home to this today, so I know there is hope!

Sugar Sugar Sugar
Oh lovely sugar, how I miss thee. My mind is brought back to thinking of your lovely sweetness in mere moments after thinking of something else....
A major struggle, this sugar thing. Day one down, 29 to go. Really, sugar is an addiction of mine. Sugar was my first thought after getting out of bed. I cannot even describe exactly how much I want a chocolate glazed donut and a dunkin donuts coffee with cream and extra sugar right now.
Yesterday, my husband and I finished the Plan for the garden (#1). To be honest, I helped work on the first plan, but then my husband really took off and finished the plan. I love how involved in the plan he is! We shoveled the beds for our garden last night. I was hoping we would get the swiss chard, lettuce and spinach planted but the bitey bugs were finding us so we ran away.
I just came home from the gym. So, Thursday, Monday and Tuesday make up the 3 days for the first week (starting on 5/1) and in an effort to get my weeks to go from Monday - Sunday, I will count today as day 1 for the next week.
Good progress so far! I will savor every fruit I can get my hands on.

Sugar Freak
I am a sugar freak. I love sugar. I cannot seem to get enough. I have now, just a moment ago, finished eating all of the candy/chocolate in the house.
Tomorrow I start #10. Avoid sugar for 30 days. And I start it not a moment too soon!
Today I did make it to the gym. That is two times since I started this list (the first was 5/1), so I am almost done with the 3 times a week item!

Yoga
I practiced yoga today (#57) along with a podcast from itunes. It went well - my legs feel all stretchy. One down, 142 to go.
