List 100 things I remember about my dad

How I did it: I had driving lessons with a proper instructor for about 9 months to build up my confidence. The last 3 months I drove with a friend/my boyfriend in my own car to get the feel of driving around.I had my driving test yesterday and passed with flying colours. The lady who tested me said I was an excellent driver and it was a delightful drive! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I decided that it was time that I found my own place as I'd always lived with people in the past (boyfriends, friends, family etc) and wanted to experience living alone.I started by saving as much money as I could to cover moving costs and furniture/connecting services like electricity etc.I then started looking for rental places and finally found one that suited me, so I applied for it and organised to move in. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I knew it would happen, I had a feeling before I even met the guy that I would fall in love this year - and I did. I didn't push it though, I let it happen naturally. Read how I did it…
So…my hair was only just past my shoulders in December 2011…it is now 3 months later and I have finally reached arm pit length! woo hoo! Talk about major hair growth in a short amount of time.
Now I just need it to grow 6 more inches and I’ll be one happy little girly!
And we don’t know how long we have left with him. I want to spend more time with him and make sure he knows just how much I love him.
This is one of my current goals.
Why?
Because sugar is poison and I’m tired of treating my body like a garbage disposal. I want to improve my skin, my energy levels and my future.
Yesterday was day 1, it went a little something like this:
- Woke up and wasn’t hungry for hours so I didn’t eat
- Got a low-fat coffee
- Forgot to eat for a few more hours
- Went grocery shopping and bought low fructose/fructose-free/sugar-free natural foods such as pears, dark rye bread, eggs, walnuts, salmon etc
- Ate a yummy salmon and salad sandwich
- Around dinner time the sugar cravings kicked in and I didn’t know if I was going to make it. I broke the cravings by eating a handful of almonds, walnuts and sunflower seeds. That did the trick.
- Had dinner which was roasted/boiled vegies with a low-fat hamburger pattie
- Sugar cravings kicked into overdrive immediately after dinner so I ate a bowl of natural yoghurt with a handful of frozen raspberries. Worked like a charm.
What have I noticed from day 1?
- My sugar cravings hit around the afternoon and immediately after dinner.
- Going without bad sugars for the day made me feel slightly depressed though my energy levels were the same.
Interesting experiment!
