I've been gone for awhile. Mostly just super busy with the boys, but also because Zac changed the security settings on our computer and blogger wouldn't let me sign on. But, now it's working!
What's new? The big news around here is that I have started myself on a "sugar detox". Somewhere along the road, between my second trimester of pregnancy and now, I developed a serious habit of eating lots of sweet junk--cookies, candy, cake, you name it, I ate it. Part of the problem was Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and lots of people bringing me meals after I had Brody and they were all complete with a wonderful dessert!
I just realized that it is probably contributing to my fatigue because after I eat a cookie for breakfast (along with my Cheerios, see, I'm not that irresponsible), I feel like I am going to crash. So then I go have a piece of candy. And then another cookie. I have been blaming the tiredness on Brody's unfortunate night-waking habit, but I think the sugar is part of it. It's also not helping me lose the 15+ pregnancy pounds that are still hanging around.
So...I am starting day 3 of no sweet junk food (chips are still okay :). It's going really well. I passed on a piece of cake at a baby shower this morning, I left off the chocolate sauce on my poached pear at small group last night, I'll skip the cake at a birthday party this afternoon, and I walked by the Hershey kisses in our kitchen yesterday morning. I have to admit, I felt like an addict coming off of withdrawal, but I'm on the right track. And, I won't be this strict forever, just initially so I can get over the cravings.
Wish me luck!

Maybe that was why I was feeling so tired. I was eating a cookie or a piece of candy here and there ever since Halloween. I would even have one for breakfast just like you. They candy is finally gone and I fee great. I have more energy than I have had in a long time. Maybe the junk food was the problem.
Keep on going Ab. They boys look great. I am glad to hear Brody is only getting up once a night. That makes a big difference.
