Cut carbs-

The next couple weeks, I have decided to not only avoid eating the sweets during the week, but to also reduce my carbs. I was proud of myself for sticking with the plan but I now want to try to lose some weight and I know this wil help. My reward will be the weight I lose and shopping for the pillows, once I decide what I want.

I did it!

Well, I did it. I made it through the first week. Believe it or not it was not that hard. Tonight we had ice cream, boy did it taste good.

Here's a picture of Jacob with the ice cream, I think he would love some - someday.

Now for the reward. I wanted to have Jacob but Mom and Dad said NO, so I'm still thinking of what I really want and I'll get back as soon as I come up with it.

I really want some ice cream right now...

BUT I am strong and am not going to give in. I am amazed at how many times I want a little piece of chocolate or candy throughout the day. So far so good I am proud to report. As a result of my abstaining from "sweets" I have eaten some carrots, a banana, 2 small salads, and part of an orange today (amongst of things of course). All of which I'm sure I would not have consumed if "sweets" were still in the picture.

My reward for success for 2 weeks is going to be some shoes. I havent found them yet but when I do I'll know. And just in case I cant find just the right shoes for my reward, the runner up is a new skirt or church outfit.
