Sugar! Be gone!

(No, I'm not kicking out my Hubby or Boy)

"Double double toil and trouble

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble"

I am a witch with a capital B when it comes to dieting!  Nine weeks forward... twelve pieces of Halloween candy backwards.  Remember my mantra?  How fast can you get back on track?  Well yesterday and the day before I was off the track/ behind the bleachers stuffing my face with chocolatey goodness... and again... IT WASN'T PRETTY!  So today I'm getting a late start writing or thinking about today's blog.  I'm ashamed and I'm coming off a candy high so the brain isn't working as quickly as usual.  I'm a morning person so I get my best stuff done in the a.m.  (Don't laugh, Mom; yes, I am the same person who couldn't get up before noon!)  I don't like this addictive strawberry, but can I tell you:  my fingernails still look soooo pretty.  I'm getting distracted in my thinking when I look down at the keyboard and see those pretty "Friar Friar Pants on Fire" ovals staring up at me.  It's a good witch's color and I imagine a few friars might have found themselves in a cauldron or spell cast upon them.  Lord knows the witches were burned at the stake.  Okay, where did all this come from?  I'm telling ya, sugar is the work of the devil.  I think I might have to change the name of the blog to Sugar! Be Gone.

Today is a new day.  I am going cold turkey.  I took the candy to the church for the college kid care packages.  I am eating protein and drinking lots of water.  I will survive!  In addition, I have a doctor's appointment later and I'm hoping I don't have a mental crash before then.  Otherwise I might be writing my next blog from a very quiet nursing home.  

And getting off topic again since that seems to be the theme of today's post:  how many chances will Lindsay Lohan get?  I would like to think someone will help the poor child before SHE crashes and burns.

Not to leave you on a negative note:  Adieu, dear Grainiacs, and keep away from the sugar bowl (okay, maybe a little negativity!).  I don't want you to crash and burn like me today (well, maybe A LOT of negativity....it's the sugar, I tell ya).
