Time flies...

It's move in day at the Judd's house!  Wow, lots of pictures and stories to post after we get settled.

Holy Crap!

We're Homeowners...in San Diego no less!  That is nothing to sneeze at my friends!

Off the sugar...

Ok, so I am off the sugar.  I've been detoxing this week and it hasn't been pretty.  My main addiction...SODA!  I don't drink that fake diet stuff, I drink that good old straight from the cane (then refined of course) S-U-G-A-R!  Oh how I miss it!  It's getting easier.  It's kind of like when you and a boyfriend break up and you have to get used to not having the companionship anymore.  Everyday that I continue on I find it easier to say "no" to temptations that are always thrown my way (especially at work).  I work with food and soda ALL DAY LONG!  Days 1 and 2 were especially hard, ending in migraines.  Days 3 and 4 there were no headaches.  I decided to do this because I want to make healthier choices.  Yes, I know soda isn't all that bad...when you drink it in moderation.  I'm not so sure I can do that.  So from now until further notice, I won't be drinking it.  Although my mouth waters for it, every day!  I even had a dream last night that I was at my parents house (this coming weekend) and they were having a get together.  I momentarily lapsed and started drinking this:   

Jessica's worst addiction

I am proud to say that in my dream I did think about whether (since I had already taken a drink) I wanted to stop drinking it and drink water, or continue on because I had already screwed up.  I don't remember which I chose, because there were other things going on in my dream, but I'm glad I at least stopped and thought about it.  Dustin says that I should treat myself on the weekend and just buy the mini soda cans and drink those, I said no.  That will totally defeat what I am trying to do.  I need to cut it out completely.  Maybe I'll reintroduce it at some point!  Good-Bye for now my friend!  :o(
