The Grass is Always Greener...
I was having a brief moment of envy towards my friends who are married with families and doing so well and seem so happy. Then I get great reminders of why I should be more thankful for my lifestyle :-) I have to thank Beth for this one and I hope she doesn't mind me telling on her little angels.
While we were doing some swimsuit research online, we heard hollering coming from outside. Beth quickly looked outside and started yelling for Joe to stop whatever it was that he was doing. I got up and looked too, out of curiosity ... he had just dumped a ton of sand of Danny's head and Danny went from a cute little blonde baby to a gray-haired baby in the blink of an eye! :-)
So I quickly said my goodbyes and headed off to the mall while she had to deal with cleaning up that mess. I think I laughed all the way to the mall!

Cayman Brac Dive day 1

We all made it safely to the island called Cayman Brac for the Dive Frendzee takeover! I have been delighted with everything since arriving! It is blissfully remote and I feel quite content to never leave the resort compound to venture anywhere else.  It is like we are at the end of the world in a wonderful day!  The food...oh my the food!

This place offers Valet style diving, so in the morning, we were to have our gear outside our door in bags they provide, and they pick everything Iup and take it over to the dive boats and they set everything up! Valet diving, Princess diving, whatever you want to call it.... I am loving it! After that, it was time for b

30 day sugar challenge

Image
Ok, my goal is to restrict myself to 6 tsp or 25 grams of sugar per day as recommended by health organizations who study these things.  I haven't tracked my eating for a while but a I am sure I am way over that! I watched a movie called Sugar Coated and it had inspired me, as well as all my friends giving up things for Lent.  Since I have a marathon on Sunday, I will not be able to be quite as strict on race day but will give this a whirl. I started by going through my cupboards and was stunned by all the things that contained sugar!! My vitamins, calcium, taco seasoning... it feels like I am down to salt, pepper, oil, and dish soap!! I need to research whether that 25 grams is added sugar, separate from the naturally occurring sugar in fruits, or it that is all forms of sugar. That would be much harder!!
