:grumble: Thanks Marla, I am sitting here crying, he has always been such the level kid, the one to help me, the one to get up with me at 2 or 3 am with the screaming 5 year old. The one to call me to check on me, to offer his support and this 8th grade year has been hard on him. He is not in any trouble at school and still is pulling A and Bs except in one class in which he refuses to even try, teacher conflict. He is just mouthy and says things lately like I don't like him and we hate him because he is currently grounded for a F on the test in which he refused to study for. The class he doesn't like. We tp;d him if he refused to study then if he got below a C he would be grounded. Now he has to pay the consequences. I told him we have all had bosses we didn't like, you just have to get along with them and he only has 6 months left in the 8th grade! He can man up and just do it. :mad:
Hugs Amanda. Hang in there. He's still the sweet kid you know, just having a hard time.0 -
14 year old males suck, Amanda-- been there-- oh my-- the stories I could tell.
Hang in there!!!!!!!0 -
does butter butter and jam count as sweets?
I don't count it-- I consider all the desserty kinda crud--
That is what I thought, but just checking!
Thanks Marla.
I asked the same before, but maybe my question seemed rethorical. If they don't, then neither does dry fruit, so my fruitcake is also OK and this means I've actually been good from the moment I signed up for this challenge.

You are good. You can give up everything with sugar in it if you want. Most of us are more concerned with the 'junk' sugar stuff. I still eat fat free vanilla yogurt (full of sugar), fruits and on occasion some cereal like raisin bran or kashi (fairly high in sugar). Usually those things are satisfying to me and don't make me crave more. Now if I ate a bowl of ice cream, I'd be dying for a cookie and cake.0 -
Good Morning ladies!!!
I hope everyone is off to a great day!!! I had planned a while back to go to starbucks today because they'll donate a part of the proceeds of any drink purchase to the World Aids Fund...but now that I've started this challenge I'm not going, if I want to help a cause I can just donate myself not buy a drink that only a part of the proceeds will go towards. So no sugars for me today, I'm going to make it!!0 -
Forgot to come on here last night.

I'm not counting the 1 sugar free piece of candy that I used to keep my mouth wet while I did my 9.5 minute speech last night.
Good Luck to everyone today!!0 -

Just checking in real quick from work since we don't have internet at the new place yet... on Sunday I ate about 10 mini tootsie rolls and yesterday I had a reese's bar. It's no excuse, but with all the moving and craziness lately, I haven't been doing so well.

So I was feeling tempted earlier after Id gotten back from rushing around running errands... but then I had some whole wheat pasta, low sodium spaghetti sauce and lean meatballs for around 350 cals and I'm feeling full and ready to go... on to studying and then doing my first workout of the 30 day shred!0

Samantha, 9.5 minute speech =
Sugar free shouldn't count.......
Warning: Rant ahead
I had to go to several drug stores last night looking for a particular Christmas DVD. WHAT is up with five aisles of Christmas candy, cookies, cakes, drinks, Christmas PEEPS, for cryin-out-loud. It was all I could do to keep from buying Almond Roca or Butter Cookies in 200lb tins, or Dove Bars Minis, - - - oh.
How hard it is to be nice when I want to be naughty.

8-10 minutes did a 9.5 minutes then had to stand up there while they asked questions. Glad it was something I know about cause if not I would have been really really nervous. I did it about embryonic stem cell research. Sounds exciting right?!?!?!0 -

That sounds really interesting, I used to want to be a geneticist and do research into adult stem cell research instead of embryonic. I hope you did well!! And I agree, sugar free shouldn't count!

Seriously, people-- candy and crap everywhere I turn today-- went to Wal-Mart-- oh my-- everywhere. Went to the grocery store. Had to pass the bakery. I was tired and hungry-- dying for something sweet-- past the ice cream, cookies, candy-- oh my gosh.
And I went to produce and bought one perfect golden delicious apple-- go me.
Score Marla - 5, Sweets -0 (I think-- or did I lose count?)0 -
Yay! I made it through my first day without eating anything sweet (junk that is)! I know the first days are the hardest. I really want to eat something though... I have some sugar free dark chocolate but I know if I eat it the craving for sweet stuff will never go away! Ah. I'm doing my best. lol
I know what you mean about sweets everywhere. I've been tempted with it so much today!
Are yall keeping score from the get go of the challenge, or is it a restart the scores daily thing?0 -
Marla- that was my yesterday, way to conquer!
Lisa- we are keeping score for how many days since we started, as people join, their score is kept from the day they join. Good job today, it does get easier!
Sam- I eat sugar free gum and Breath Savers all the time and I'm not about to count them.
Today is in the bag, even though I promised the kids cinnamon buns. I bought the roll that has 5 buns, 1 for each of the 4 kids and hubs (who was on this healthy eating wagon, but I noticed the tire marks on his back here of late). There won't be any left to temp me. Sad (or good?) that I was planning in the grocery store how to avoid sweets for some unknown date when I would make them in the future. :laugh:

Yay!! I stuck it out and went my first full day without sweets! Lots of temptations here too, left over pecan pie, red velvet cake, hershey kisses, ghiradelli dark chocolate.... and after running errands this morning I was home the rest of the afternoon besides picking up my son for it all to tempt me... but I kept busy, worked out for 45 min (my 1st 30 day shred workout and a workout from Wii EA Active) and studied the rest of the day. Had a healthy dinner and already brushed n flossed my teeth so I know I'm not eating anything until breakfast tomorrow! Yay!

I do know I'll be having a planned treat on Dec. 23; we are having a double date at the Cheesecake Factory. (Yes, I do know how bad this is and I have the full intention of working out like a madwoman to enjoy it.)
supermom- I was also thinking about going to Starbucks this morning, but luckily for me I was running late and didn't have time. I know I can change up the White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha to have skim milk and no whipped cream, but it's still not so good for me.0 -

Shuntae,

My hubby used to work at starbucks way back when and he use to bring me one on days he got off of work before I did... so its kind of a nostalgic thing as well as a LOVE for it.. A tall with no whipped cream and nonfat milk I think is still like 370 cals.. ugh... good thing we stuck it out!!!0 -

I had one over the weekend (the slightly less horrible way we talked about), but only because I ran 9 miles earlier in the day. So worth it...not on a normal day, though.

Marla, Marla, Marla! What are you doing to me? I spent a good 3 hours at the mall tonight...Hickory Farms had these yummy looking little meltaway mints, the salesgirl asked if we'd like a sample...NO THANKS. Walked past Laura Secord...that store always looks so ridiculously yummy...KEEP WALKING, BRENDA LEE. Wal-Mart is crazy- you can't walk 10 feet without encountering sweet temptation. Argh. Sugar free gum to the rescue. I guess. lol

This challenge will either save me or kill me. It all must seem pretty silly to someone who isn't addicted to sweets, but for those of us who can barely go a day without them...I actually got a little testy that I had to leave Wal-Mart without cookies. :mad: 0 -
BrendaLee, I am also addicted to sweets and sugar as well.
Today is in the bag

Well, Brenda-- to quote you, "When you look back in a (month's) time, will you be saying, 'I'm glad I stuck it out?'"
Yes, you will, my friend-- temptation sucks-- but, oh, the feeling of empowerment when you win a battle. Bravo!!!0 -
I've struggled today, but it's safe to say that I won't be eating any sweets! The Biggest Loser is on, and it's 10:00 here. I never eat past that time especially through the week, so I made it!

I have to admit I've been feeling a little cranky when BF starts talking about all these cookies he wants, and that stupid pumpkin pie. We got this!0 -
Last night I gave up the coffee. The sugar and milk laden coffee that would make your teeth hurt. I am now a green tea with 1 teaspoon of honey per cup girl. Take that Dixie Crystal!
