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.)

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

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 ...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...
