I want...I need....Dessert

     Dinner is over, which means that its time for DESSERT!  Does anyone else's mind work that way?  Most people that I know will want to take a small commercial break between dinner and dessert, but not this girl!  I'm all systems go, all the time, if there's a cookie involved.  My dad always likes a nice glass of milk with some Oreo's after dinner, bless him.  That cookie jar was the gift that kept on giving, never empty, always accommodating, totally satisfying.  Im drooling a little thinking about it now.  This is going to be the hardest habit for me to break.
     Its only day 2 for heavens sake and i've already caught myself a couple times today premeditating my attack on a couple of my daughters easter egg hunt candies.  She cant eat jolly ranchers anyway...one couldn't hurt >:) Then I took a couple soothing breaths and told Mrs. Hyde to take a walk.



Just then the delicious bunny peeps started looking at me funny.  They don't have a mouth but I swear I saw it smirk.  Im not crazy about them but they are literally covered in a hot pink sugar coating....how could I not!? 

     Again, I told myself to stop being a crazy person and put the peep down....then Lucy found me and started begging for the little sugar devil.  After watching her lick all of the sugar off, roll it on the carpet, and then grasp it in her hand for a solid 20 min. it was no longer quite as appetizing as it once was.  I took a mental note that Lucy could be a great tool to me in the future and went on my way.  I don't have any great tips for you on how to not have a burning desire for a sugary snack after dinner other than...wait...because it usually takes a while for you to feel full from the dinner you just ate and then just DON'T DO IT.  Just know that i'm "suffering" along there with you.  


P.S. If your eating a cookie while reading this.....thats just cruel.

Did I survive Easter?

          Okay, so here's the deal.  I would say that I MOSTLY survived Easter while being sugar free.  Im being totally transparent here with you guys.  We had a delicious dinner lots of salad, roasted veggies, meat...mac and cheese *cough*......and deviled eggs because...EASTER DUH.  Anyways you wanna know how I survived dessert...well we (my sister-in-law and myself) are both trying not to eat sugar SO we, in all of our wisdom and me in my weak self control, decided not to make any! BOOM! But you know the kids still had a little Easter egg hunt.....and where there are Easter eggs...there will be candy.  There was my cute little daughter sitting on a swing, eating some mini peanut butter cups and the primal animal in me took over.  I prowled my way over to her swing and plucked a mini peanut butter cup from her basket in a way that only the Grinch on Christmas could have done.  You better believe it tasted good. I told myself...

The Decision

          Ive gone over it in my head about half a dozen times.  What is it that makes me feel like junk....then it hit me...its JUNK!  I've tried a lot of different dieting trends over the past couple years after having Lucy.  Ive tried to find my groove and find that version of myself that I used to really feel comfortable with.  Its been hard.  Exercise has always been a pretty good constant for me but the food that I eat has not been constant at all....unless being consistently inconsistent counts.             Recently I tried something that really made me feel great!  I ate strictly paleo for about a month and finally dropped weight that I could never lose and I felt way more energetic and overall happy and at peace.  It was really hard to do consistently but it paid off and I have since eased back on it a bit, but I have taken away a lot of recipes and meals that I can and do incorporat...
