Sacrifices

So for the month of March my team at work has decided to give something up to be healthier. While this is no foreign concept for me (Hannah and I gave up drinking for Lent...hello 40 days and 40 nights of complete sobriety) its not really that fun. However, I want to loose that last 5 pounds so that I may fit into all of my clothes again and loosing the weight will have less impact on my body when I run that half marathon in a month that I'm totally not prepared for. What to give up? What can I sacrifice to make myself healthier? Hmmmmm. My team just debated and one member was like that's where religion and I diverge. My response: oh I don't do it for religion, I do it because I like to prove people wrong that I can actually do it. Yup, I'm that stubborn. HAHAHA. Hmmm..what should I give up? Alcohol? Nope, done that before. Caffeine? Nope, done that before too (wow, forgot about that one year I randomly gave up caffeine for Lent...this makes me sound like a practicing Catholic...which I'm not). What have I decided upon?

Sweets.

That right Ladies and Gentlemen (if there are any out there), I'm giving up sweets in general. Now this is life altering because I honestly believe I've eaten junk for all 28 years of my life. My dentist would agree with that statement. Wow, can I do it? Eeekkk. I just don't know. I crave sweets and feel like I need to eat them after every meal and very often in between. YIKES! 31 days of sacrificing? It all starts March 1st. Can I do it? Stay tuned to find out!

You know what that means, right? Means I get to go home and binge eat all the sweets in my house!!! Woooooopie!!!!!!
