Okay, I'm going to say that this new week is my official first week. Last week was a test drive. I went to bed on time about 50% of the time. I also had sick kids last week (Sam on Tuesday and Anna on Thursday). Even when I didn't go to bed by 10:30pm I still went to bed earlier that I would have. I was really grateful for this on Wednesday night when Anna got up at 3am.
Next, we are in PRIME TIME sugar season. This summer I tried really hard to cut back on sugar. I felt so much better! I feel myself slipping now that Halloween is upon us. This week I am going to recommit myself to no straight sugar. (candy,junkie food with no nutritional value) I know, it's nuts to do this right before Halloween. But well, it must be done. PLUS, I think that cutting back on sugar will help me sleep better.
I'll let you know!

Good luck!
Have a great week!
Fun that you guys are going to WI. I want to go too. Tell your totally cute folks I say Hi and miss them.
It's amazing how much better your body feels when there isn't extra sugar running through it. I had to go on low sugar diets for several of my pregnancies and I always felt much healthier. After I had my babies I'd start eating sugary foods again and feel just awful sluggish. Good luck, you can do it!
I love how a lot of moms are buying their kids candy from them or exchanging them for fun healthy snacks. Maybe you could try that? I do suggest at least keeping some healthy special treats around for yourself to help when a snack attack comes. I bought a big box of those mini popcorn bags and am going to use those for my halloween treat whenever I get a craving. Good luck. And enjoy being well rested.
You have had such a busy week! I was out of town and didnt keep up on my blogs! Phew you are superwoman! Good luck this week. When I get a minute (haha yah right) I'm going to check this out, it seems awesome!
I wish you the best of luck and know you can do it!!! :) Stay strong:)
I know I have been eating way too much sugar because I've been feeling a lot more impatient and irritated. I am going to cut back on the treats as well. I hope you feel better as well as myself.

Cutting out every little bit helps! I usually do well every year until Halloween night and then it all falls apart. I figure that's better than starting on October first!
