I DON'T UNDERSTAND! I HAVE BEEN SO GOOD! I didn't tell you there was cheesecake. CHEESCAKE WITH BLUEBERRY TOPPING! AND I DIDN'T EAT IT! AAARRGH! Maybe I should have eaten it then this would explain why I gained weight. I swear it's like my body is afraid to be in the 70's. I feel like going outside and cussing out a squirrel. CHEESECAKE! On Sunday mornings I like to watch cooking shows and OF COURSE everything today is chocolate. I'm doing so well with no sugar and this week every where I look there is tons of sugar. I feel like a heroin addict in a needle store. I haven't had sugar in 24 days. I think it's making me bitter.
I did workout accidentally again yesterday. I was cleaning the top of my machines. The first stop I was at has a game room so it was (crap I forgot the machine in the foyer) about 11 machines to clean. They have this chunky cube chair thing that I was scooting around and standing on. My workout was scoot chair with leg, step up on chair, strech, clean, scoot chair with inside thigh, push machine away from the wall, step up, clean, step down, scoot, step up, etc. Variations of this exercise included step on Snoopy, stretch, clean, step down off Snoopy. You get the picture should you want to repeat this workout at home.
Yesterday was a slightly emotional day. I'm really getting tired of these. My niece had a miscarriage. I'm very sad for her, but at the same time I've decided I'm a monster, because I don't think this is the worst thing that could happen to her. She's 21, just got her first job, just got married, just bought a house. SLOW DOWN! I mean her husband is in school. She's supporting them. Have a seat. Take a breath. Babies are a lot of work. If I didn't know better I'd say she was dying and is trying to cram her bucket list into a year. Like I said, I'm a monster.
WARNING ANGRY PART:
THEN just to make my day happier, I get this really weird text from my oldest sister. It said "would it be ok if E (my 14 year old daughter) goes to Peru on a missions trip with M (daughter's friend), and her church in June. E does not know bout this M's dad asked about it". Just to clarify this is PERU Peru and not Peru, Illinois. My response was O_O and O_o and '_' FIRST of all, E had a sleepover all planned at my house as a going away party for a friend, and M's Dad wouldn't let her come over to my house for one night, but he wants to take my kid out of the country, to PERU. I've never met the man, and in fact any contact with him or his wife has been through my sister. So I mentioned this fact to my sister. Her response was "I wouldn't want to spend the night there either". rude. Did I forget to mention everyone in this story is an uber-Christian except me? Ah yes the bible passage where Jesus said "thou shalt hate and pass judgement on the lesbian because the lesbian is going to hell, and shouldst thou talk to the lesbian thou shalt also too become the lesbian". SCREW YOU! people suck.
EDIT:
Yesterday was also in the high 30's low 40's and sunny. It was beautiful and I was walking around without a coat on. It was awesome! I just couldn't end this journal on such a bitter note.

I know the way you are feeling. The only difference is that I am retired and do not workout every day. But when I did it did not matter. I was always being told that I am gaining muscle. I don't give a flying leap about muscle. I want to see the scale move down and stay there. Good luck and keep up the fight. You will get a surprise one of these days and it will be good!!!

If you are a monster for caring about her poor choices, then I must be the Devil incarnate. I have 4 daughters and have been through much of the same drama.
Ladies, please don't take offense because it is not intended. but I am of the opinion, born out by 46 years of raising my children, that all females possess what I refer to as a recessive-dominant Stupid Gene that kicks in at age 12 until age 25, sometimes 30 and occasionally never. It doesn't matter how you raised them, what you have told and/or shown them. They will take any situation and take the stupidest most destructive course of action. There is nothing you can do but help them pick-up the pieces and love them until the gene goes dormant once more.
A loving Father

are we going to do these exercises at the sugar prison/retreat you are starting? should I be taking notes? 24 days without sugar is amazing....you can count on 2 hands the number of people you have ever come in contact with who have no added sugar in their diet for that long! Thats like the mother Theresa of sugar smackdown! You are a smack down star! You can be the star attraction at the sugar prison camp, I mean retreat.

fatchemist you just explained my life. thank you. nicholaix us, and I will get the creepiest children's characters I can find. I have a Barney ride at one stop. If Barney can't motivate you to step on him then no one can. I could see myself being an evil sugar prison warden dressed like Mother Theresa. hmm...

Hmmm...do these people think your life style is more catching than a disease in Peru or more dangerous than the muggers who prey on foreigners? You are doing awesome in the sugar arena! Great workout with cleaning those machines! By the way, I don't envy that workout. Keep up the good fight! We can only be there for the people in our lives. They have to live with their own choices.

Wow, you described how I feel EXACTLY! I too have been off sugar for almost 4 months. I managed to get thru the holidays with very little sugar consumption, but the past couple weeks, I have felt just like you - I also compared myself to a drug addict to a friend. My weight has been up and down for the past 3 weeks, but never stays down. I am down today, but tomorrow, who knows. Keep the faith, this has to work (I hope). I'm right there with you.

Sugar, UGH!! I feel your pain, and I feel like an addict. I got to the point where i was actually eating sugar out of the sugar jar. *sigh* I am think it is so awesome that you have gone without for so long! WOOHOO!

NM is that what happened? I looked at the cheesecake and I gained weight? I should have known. I went crazy with sugar during the holidays. Lets see next is Valentines day, boxes of chocolate, Easter, Cadbury eggs (LOVE THEM), what's after that? It's so hard! I figure I've come this far, I don't want to take that one little bite of sugar (not out of the jar lynnerobb that is hard core!) and ruin everything I've been working for. Even if it means I'm not losing weight I'm doing it for my health. Sugar is SO bad for you! I wish they made sugar taste bad too. Do they have this problem in foreign countries? Maybe we should all move to some country that hasn't discovered sugar yet. Surely there's an uninhabited island somewhere still. We can just grow broccoli and spinach.

Just started a grapefruit diet. no cheating, lost 4 lbs in 2 days! I'm surprised and know that most of it is probably water but I'm very excited.
