Well it looks like we have a tie and the only fair thing to do would be to attempt to do two challenges at once. Starting Thursday, January 1st, 2009 I will no longer be able to eat chocolate, bakery items (incl. Tim Hortons) and desserts. This for me will be tough because I swear I am addicted to sugar, but hey if it wasn't tough then it wouldn't be much of a challenge. Since we are off to Orlando, Florida on Jan. 8th for 10 days...ahh man...what have I got myself into. Oh well...I can do it...I might go through sugar withdrawal, which might mean grumpiness and moodiness. The second challenge which I will be untertaking is to only weigh myself once a week (Right now I am picking Thursdays cause Jan 1st falls on a Thursday). Hmmm another one of my addictions. I have tried this challenge before and lasted only three days. This one will be difficult as well but I love challenges and will give it my best to make it as far as I can. I guess if I were to choose one it would be the weighing myself as it is something I do and the number on the scale determines my mood for the day and it is so much more for me than just stepping on the scale and seeing a number...really....to get rid of that habit....I couldn't even imagine how my life would change. I had my last long run before Disney today and it was tough. I was drained...no energy...I think the kids and Trevor made me a little sick, but at least I didn't have what they had on the weekend. They had the 24 hour flu...imagine 3 people in the house with the flu...yeah...it was NASTY. Anyways...I don't have the "flu", but I don't have much energy...I just need some caffeine and life will be better. Tonight we are off to Market Mall. We try to go to all the malls during boxing week to see if we can get any good deals. We did manage to hit Chinook on Friday and found a few things. I've shared a secret with Trevor that I wanted a Nintendo DS as well and we found one at Sounds Around and it was the Guitar Hero DS Lite Package...incl DS, Guitar Hero Game, Car Adapter, Guitar Hero Case, extra stylus and 2 extra guitar picks. Well...I love it...I played so much...I actually ended up unlocking all the games (by playing the easy level). Both kids got a DS for Christmas and I play with them. I love how we can all hook up and play Mario. Now if we can only convince Trevor to get one.Well...that's the update. I still have to upload my Christmas Pictures...that will be done soon...stay tuned : )
