What a BEAUTIFUL day!  Temperature was a sunny 31 degrees on my run.  The combination of sunshine and exercise is amazingly mood-boosting!  And my hip felt better than it has in WEEKS!!  The ART work yesterday must have helped.  I have to admit, that ART stuff can be excruciating  fun.  I found myself doing mental exercises to avoid kicking Richey in the face as he scraped my adductor.  We concluded yesterday that my hamstring and hip flexor are adhesion free, but the adductor is still working kinks out.  

I had some sugar temptation yesterday and really wanted candy. My 3 yo daughter had earned money all week because she really wanted me to take her to the candy store in the mall so she could buy a treat.  She had earned $4.68 which was enough for a small bag of assorted treats that she shared with her Dad and siblings.  She kept offering me some and I kindly declined.   It gave me renewed strength to remember all my fellow bloggers resisting the treats all month too.  The smell in that store is so yummy, I just wanted a taste of a few things, but it was not to be. As a consolation, I had a bowl of "kid tested, mother approved" Kix when I got home.

Way to pass up the sugar. I had to pass again on cake last night as another daughter of mine had a birthday.

Ah some good news on the hip! Yeah! Way to pass up temptation--you are such a sweet mother to let the kids have their treats and fight your own cravings. I feel like I sorta cheated, I made peanut butter candy with 1/4 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/2 cup powdered dry milk and then patted it all down on a plate and chilled it in the fridge. It is a treat my mom used to make for us when we were kids. I told myself that the honey was natural so didn't really count as sugar...I will probably just keep my cheat day light with a few pieces of chocolate and call it good for the month to compensate!

I'm glad you're hip is feeling better.

My ART guy doesn't do scraping. In fact, I'm not real clear on exactly what scraping is.

You're doing a great job avoiding the sugar. I need to follow your example.

Burt-Wow, I'm impressed. You probably have a stronger will than most of us doing the no sugar diet.

April-I make those for my kids too! Fun! They do have a lot of sugar, but honey is better than cane sugar, at least.

Carolyn-My ART guy does ART in combination with Graston technique:
