Sweets
Well, my faithful friends. I have some bad news. I betrayed you. Normally when I decide to try and change my life for the better I tell you about it. Exhibits A, B, C, D, E, F and G (for starters). But during the month of February I made a resolution and didn't tell you about it.
But that's because I was tired of telling you all about my new resolutions and not following through (if I wasn't so tired I would find you a whole list of exhibits–á la the previous paragraph–of examples)! I was tired of letting you down!
Anyway, On January 27th I decided to not eat sweets for one month. Now what exactly qualifies as a "sweet" is up for debate, but basically I decided on any store bought candy, pastries/deserts or soda pop.
I didn't have any sweets again for 4 weeks (well except twice when I made two little mistakes).
And I gotta tell you, while 4 weeks doesn't sound like much, it was really tough! Or maybe my fiance and I just normally eat a lot of sweets.
I also gotta tell you that I after I was off the wagon again, I didn't feel as good as when I was on the wagon. That might have something to do with the fact that I exercised regularly throughout February. Or that the week after I finished was filled with sweets. I think it was a little of those two things and the fact that sweets just aren't good for you.
Anyway, I have decided to get get back on the wagon. Well, a slightly smaller wagon. I'm going to avoid sweets as much as I can, but no more hard and fast rules about everything. Though, no more soda pop for me! No more red vines! No more sour punch straws! No more girl scout thin mints! However, I think if some one goes to the effort to actually bake something, how can I say no? So, cookies are in! Bake me cookies! Pies too! Also if it is a special occasion, how can I not celebrate with a Sprite or a Grape Soda?
Here's to saying goodbye to one of my favorite things in life!

I'm glad to hear that you will consider eating rhubarb pie for me. Thanks!
