Sugar Be Gone!

I love Sugar!  It should be its own food group.  Joel prefers fried foods, but not me - give me sweet any day over greasy.  Sadly, my body doesn't always appreciate my enthusiastic sweet tooth.  During my first pregnancy anything remotely sweet made me really sick.  This occurred the second time around during the first trimester, but I found out right around the holidays that it wasn't making me sick anymore and well, let's just say I was a little too excited about this.  I started craving chocolate- pure chocolate.  I don't usually crave much during my pregnancies, so it was a little bizarre. 
The long and the short of it is that between holiday celebrations and chocolate cravings I have OD-ed on sugar and it's time to do something drastic.  Aka- I'm giving up all sweets for the month of January. (Since I didn't want to be alone on this endeavor Joel has been cut off from all things greasy and fried as well). I have to stop cold turkey to get all the cravings out of my system, so that I can eventually go back to normal- limited consumption.  I post this to make sure I hold myself accountable.  January is going to be a cold, bleak and sugar/grease free month at the Thompson household, but it must be done.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Meanwhile, Happy New Year's and Happy 30th birthday to my brother!
