No Sugar Contest Finale!

Today is January 2, 2009. Which means my, "No Sugar Contest,” ended two days ago. In the end I flubbed all over the place. The closer it got to Christmas the more goodies that rolled in the house. The weaker my resolve became. I was a very naughty girl! Just being honest here.

However, prior to the week before Christmas, I was a very good girl. So I'm giving myself a break! I can do that right? I have decided to start the, "No Sugar" diet again. Except this time it won’t be a contest for you. Just a personal goal for me to say away from sugar. I really did feel better not eating sugar. I also noticed the huge side effect of my children eating less junk.

It is the first of the year, so you know, no matter how much I say I'm not going to set a specific weight loss goal. The one thing I WANT to do is set a specific weight loss goal. I'm holding out against my instincts and I'm just going to continue down the path I'm on.  Working toward better overall health.  My goals are to finish the 104 mile bike ride, run the city 5k (again) with a better time, and participate in the youth 41 mile Trek in July.

That is enough to keep we working towards better overall health. Without throwing a specific number of pounds to loose into the mix. Here is to better health in 2009!

On to the contest winner.

The deal was if you didn't catch me with my hand in the cookie jar, the winner was the person who left the most comments. The start date was October 27th and the finish Date was December 31st.

The winner by a single comment is WILLOW!!

I thought you had it hands down Willow but as I was tallying the comments Ashleee was behind by only one comment. One more comment and I would have had a tie. :)

Thank you everyone for your support.  I had lots of fun and enjoyed all of your comments.  It is so fun to hear what everyone thinks.

WOOHOO!!!!

Of course you thought I had this contest in the bag.... I left the longest comments in the history of blog-comment-leaving.

Whew... I didn't realize that Ashleeeee was so close to edging me out of a victory dance. (Be glad you can't see said dance of victorious gloating; it is NOT pretty.)

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
