The Candyman CAN'T!

[apple_pathways]

It's official: I'm giving up sweets for Lent.

I already gave away my stash of candy students have bought for me. Goodbye, Godiva truffles! *sniff*

So, just so I have some measure of accountability, I'll lay down here the rules I'm setting for myself.

List of Allowed 'Sweet' Foods

• Any and all fruit, including juice, dried, and canned fruits, as long as there is no sugar added.
  
• Artificial sweeteners in diet soft drinks and for my coffee. (Hush! These are a completely separate addiction to be dealt with at a date TBD.)
  
• Cereals such as raisin bran, Kashi, etc. NO MORE Frosted Mini Wheats.
  
• Yogurt. NOT frozen yogurt or other sugary, yogurty dessert things, but my Stonyfield organic lowfat yogurt cups. They are good for my tummy!
  

Basically, no: desserts, cake, cookies, ice cream, chocolate, candy, sugar, etc. etc. etc.

Day 1: Today, March 9, 2011.

End day: Easter! April 24, 2011.

(sabriel75: let's do this!)

In other news, I got an iPhone! Woo hoo! I mean, seriously: I am SO behind the times, it's amazing I actually own a piece of technology my students would recognize on a first glance. It's such an odd feeling to be up-to-date! What else have I been missing?

ARE THERE JETPACKS YET??? :P

ARE THERE JETPACKS YET???

YES. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

They're so 2001, too. Actually, I'm giving mine up for Lent. You won't believe how out of shape you get in a year or so when you don't even have to walk from the office to the bathroom.

Congrats on resolutions and rules and technology. :)

GODDAMMIT! Someone was supposed to wake me when we got jetpacks! I could have used one today, too.

Pssh, physical activity is so overrated! I'm all about the MIND! :P
