I'm going to run this!! I'm so excited - I was able to get the time off and I've already registered and made all my travel arrangements! I had given up on doing the race this coming year and was planning to wait until 2012 because I wasn't able to find anyone who could go with me, either to run or just go along, and I thought it would be so lonely to go alone. However, I was so disappointed to put it off and I couldn't stop thinking about how much FUN it would be. I looked for other races but they just didn't appeal to me like this one. I've been working hard with that particular goal in mind and to all of a sudden not have that goal or push it back a year? It was such a let down! Plus, I kept thinking about it even after deciding not to go this year and this past week I finally decided phooey on it, it means a lot to me, I'm going to do it! This princess is a big girl princess (and a determined one, to boot) and I'll just do it myself! :-)
My next task: finding a tutu or satisfactory costume! :-)

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! (I have officially turned in my Mom)!  It is all buffet but GOOD buffet!  Rolls, soups, multiple salads, cheese board, multiple hot side dishes, and then two or three entries, one always carved with a sauce.  Last night was ham. Oh, and dessert! 3 different choices last night: coconut flan, carrot cake, and chocolate walnut pie. 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!!
