My husband, Bill, arranged for our friend, Dave, to take me on my first Harley ride Friday night.  I've been on the smaller bikes before as a kid and back in college, but never the almighty Harley.  Can I just say that I am now hooked!  I will be a biker babe some day!

Thanks to Dave for taking me and thanks to my girlfriend Sandy for loaning me her husband and his Harley.

Day 2  - Saturday

Made it through my birthday dinner with friends Friday night without imbibing in any candy or cake.  Some cravings, but not to bad.  The worst part  is the Godiva chocolates that my husband got me for my birthday!  My goal is 30 days, no refined/processed sugar.  After that only on occasions for treats.  My problem is that I was having sugar every day.  Oh, also made it through the movie, Up, without any candy!

Day 3 - Sunday

Cravings much worse today!  I think I compensated with chips, but I made it.  I'm not a big chip person so I'm hoping that once I get over the sugar withdrawals it will get better.  Someone told me to up my protein and water to help.  So far that is the only thing that is helping.

Day 4 - Monday

So far, just a big ol' headache!  Seriously, is this from a lack of sugar?!  I ate it everyday but I didn't think I ate enough for this kind of a headache!!  Ouch!  Also, I'm feeling a little more moody.  Ugh...this part bites.

I've made a huge decision.  No more added sugar or 'sugary' foods.  I saw Jenny McCarthy's blog on Oprah.com about sugar and I was intrigued but not willing to give it up.  I admit it, I love sugar.  I like cookies for breakfast, cake and most candies.  The problem is that I always feel so crappy afterwards and I go into that sugar coma.  After my birthday yesterday, I woke up this morning and knew I had to do something about it.  So, today is day one of giving up sugar.

I'll keep blogging about it and tell you honestly how I'm doing. I got a text this morning saying, "Lets put money down on how long melissa lasts without sugar. She wont make it past the weekend." 

Wowzer...Bring it on babe!!
