Today's Good Things:
Stayed on goal with no yeast
Only added sugar in the coffee creamer
A nice visit with friends and time with some girlies
Some time with my husband who took a day off of work
Getting along well with my boysies

Today's Not So Good Things:
Living off caffeine right now
SOOO tired, dragging from sleep deprivation
Listening to my baby not sleep right now. Sigh.

So, I started my commitment to cut out all added sugars and yeast from my diet for the month of January. I envision it lasting longer, but for now I'm sticking with a one month goal. I tell ya, skipping the sugar isn't so bad. I'm still allowing myself to eat the peanut butter on the shelf with sugar in it and the condiments that have some natural sweeteners. I'll likely cut back on those too in the coming weeks. But the bread...oh, giving up the bread is really hard for me. Watching my husband eat a yummy bagel this morning was pure torture. I even dreamed earlier this week that I had raided the fridge and ate all the sliced bread. Ack!

I'm surviving on full caffeinated coffee right now. I don't like that I'm drinking so much of it, but man, it gets me through the day, ya' know?  One thing at a time, and right now I need a crutch of some type.

No real exercise right now. I'm focusing on getting projects done and prepping for back to school. David and I talked about getting back to Ttapp. I think that will start this weekend as well.

I've been doing a bit of reading on sleep deprivation and I'd like to keep some of what I've found on here. One thing of note is that those who suffer from sleep deprivation often deal with weight gain. That could be one very good reason I gain so much each baby year. Ugh.

I haven't weighed myself at all. I don't know if I even care at this point. Honestly, I just want my clothes to get loose, fall off me and then I'll have that wonderful problem of needing to buy a new wardrobe because I'm swimming in mine. ;) 

I've also been thinking on something for quite some time. My biggest goal right now is to see my face change. I've been looking at photos a lot lately and what bothers me most when I look at myself is my face. I don't like seeing how much I've gained in my face. I don't like seeing how worn, tired, and different I look from who I really am. That's the change I want to see most. I want my face back again. The one that wears a smile, holds a twinkle, and looks up with confidence.
