Admitting Defeat

That's it.  I'm pretty over the whole picture challenge.  I made it only halfway through the 30 days, and I'm so tired of writing about my pictures that I'm officially giving up today.  I never wanted blogging to be a hassle and it has become one.  So, I'm stopping that.  Props to those who can keep it going for that long. 

In other news, I'm starting a new 30 day challenge that I may also admit defeat halfway through....but I'm hoping that isn't the case.  I make really terrible food choices.  Really bad.  I may not drink pop with every meal or eat fried food like its going out of style, but I make up for it with the desserts I eat and the not even remotely healthy choices that I make.  I would never choose whole grain rice over white rice.  Never.  What's the point?  White rice tastes better.  I dislike salads.  Who wants to eat something that tastes like grass?  I do...if its covered in a bunch of garbage that makes it not taste like grass....like dressing (and a lot of it).  And seriously...here is an average day of eating.

Breakfast:
Sugary cereal (I've decided that most non-sugary cereal is gross, and makes me want to top it with sugar)....so, I gave up and just started buying frosted flakes and things that actually tasted good.

Mid-Morning Snack:
We get tons of donuts at work....so I literally eat a donut at least 3-4 days a week...usually as I'm running from place to place at around 9:30 in the morning.  So, I've started the day with pure sugar and fat.

Lunch:
Although our kitchen crew is totally talented and they are generous enough to make enough for the staff, usually by the time I get through the line....all that is left is the main dish and a variety of desserts.  So, I eat a little of whatever the main dish is...and grab dessert.  Awesome.

Mid-Afternoon Snack:
We also have an overabundance of cookies....I usually partake in one or two of those by the afternoon.

Dinner:  I make this myself, so its definitely the healthiest of the meals that I eat, but typically it involves dessert as well.  Cookies?  Cupcakes?  Whatever I have made over the last week.

There you have it....were my metabolism not wildly fast, I would be the biggest person I know.

And sugar doesn't make me feel good.  I get headaches, it kills my immune system, it makes me crash quickly...its gross.  I also have been dabbling with the idea of going gluten free for a time to see if it helps my stomach problems and other health issues.  I had decided against it because of how hard it would be, but with the encouragement of some friends, I have decided to take the plunge.  So, for 30 days, I'm going to be cutting out all sugars that do not include fruit, whatever is in my natural yogurt that I love, and whatever dessert I allow myself to be treated to once every Friday.  I will also be going gluten free for one month, which should be really interesting, because gluten is in everything I love.  But you can do almost anything for 30 days right?  (Well....except for finish a 30 Day picture challenge.......fail).
