Sugar, Sugar
My name is NOT Ashley, and I think I am a sugar addict.
Over the past few months, okay maybe 6 months, I had ever so gradually increased my sugar intake. It happened so slowly, that I didn't notice at first. Monday, I realized that I was ingesting way too much sugar. On that day I had, a piece of pie, a piece of cake with ice cream; two handfuls of Swedish Berries; 6 or & Kraft caramels; the odd piece of chocolate; and a few jelly beans.
My body yelled STOP! Coincidentally, another friend mentioned Monday night, that she was feeling the same way. Something in the air perhaps? We agreed, or she agreed for me, that we would stop all sugar intake. I know I can't do that, so I set myself a more workable goal of reducing it gradually.
In any case, Tuesday was the start of my reduction plan. I didn't do so bad: One Piece of Raisin toast, and half a piece of Lemon Raspberry Cake. (Oddly enough, shared with the cold turkey no sugar friend. LOL!)
Today, so far I haven't done too badly either, but the day's not over yet, and I'm off visiting tonight, so I'm sure I'll have a little something or two.
But No candies in two days....that's a first in a long time for me. Wish me luck in my sugar free quest.

The Weekend GetAway
A friend owns a cottage near the beach, which they rent out during the summer months. She decided to invite a few of us over this past weekend, before the renters come in, for the weekend. It was great fun, with lots of food, lots of laughs, and a side trip to the local casino, where we all made donations, as none of us won. Do you know how annoying it is to see the 50 foot high neon THANK YOU sign, as you're leaving the casino after losing, at 2:00 in the morning.
In any case, it was a great getaway, and marked the first time in about 7 months that I was able to spend a night away from home. What a treat that was!
We managed to attend a wedding of a local couple and do a bit of fishing to boot.

TMI
Got tagged by Jin, so here's what I came up with:
A- Available or Single?
Tough question: single
B- Best Friend? I have a select few, but Julie has so quickly become my BFF.
C- Cake or Pie? Cake, especially Marble and Lemon Poppyseed.
D- Drink of Choice? Hot Drink: Coffee in its many forms. Cold Drink: Diet Pepsi
E- Essential Item? A little bit of downtime every once in a while to recharge myself.
F- Favourite Colour? Blue
G- Gummi Bears or worms? Bears--the worms are gross.
H- Hometown? Thorold --still here!
I- Indulgence? Coffee and Swedish Berries

L- Life is incomplete without? Family and friends.
M- Marriage date? July 1, 2010 LOL!
N- Number of siblings? Only Child and no I'm not spoiled.
O- Oranges or apples? Love both, but will pick Apples, because there are so many varieties.

Q- Favorite Quote: Deal with It and Move On
R- Reasons to smile? My godson says we both suffer from some phrase in German that translates into Shameful Joy, like watching Dancing with the Stars and hoping Heather Mills falls...sorry..I know it's mean, but you asked. Oops, I should have said: sunshine; lollipops and rainbows. (see W re: sarcasm)

Head x-rays as a child (maybe that's what's wrong with me); Chest x-rays for multiple bouts of bronchitis; Abdominal x-rays for a few flare ups of appendicitis; Neck x-rays a few times for getting vertical whiplash from a collapsed lawn chair, and continuing complications from this over the years; Pinky finger of my left hand, when I smashed it against a locker and broke it, trying to catch my falling eye glass; dental xrays
Y- Your favourite foods? Thai, especially fresh spring rolls; Carbs of any kind, especially pastas and potatoes; Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia Ice Cream; White Pizza; Rice Balls; Zuppa Inglese; Chips; Candies

My National Geographic Tongue
Further to previous post, I have been attending the Accupuncturist for 2 weeks now. She's concentrated firstly on my neck and shoulders, as I have chronic pain from an old injury, plus from sitting at desk on my computer for hours on end at work. She applies about 7 needles in various places: top of head; back of neck; a couple in my shoulder; a few in my leg; and a few in my arm. Then she applies cupping: small fishbowl shaped glass cups into which she throws a lighted liquid infused piece of gauze, and places on your skin. The heat causes a vacuum and the skin is suctioned into the bowl. After four treatments, I have found that my pain and neck mobility is much better. I have one more treatment to go.

Then, she'll move on to the "body tune-up" treatments. She doesn't like that I look so tired all the time, and she really doesn't like the look of my tongue, which she's determined is geographic, ie. not uniform with different coloured areas, like a map, like this:
This is my geographic tongue. LOL
Apparently, people with geographic tongues, are more predisposed to develop cancer/tumours than people without geographic tongues. Great, this is just what I need to hear in my present frame of mind.
My tune up will provide me with much energy, and help me get over my tiredness, which will be reflected in an improvement in tongue geography. Then again, so would not working so much; and not having to stay home and care take most of the time.
But since the latter is not an option, guess I'll give the accupuncture tune up a try. After the treatment, she promises I will be so energized, and my tired haggard look will disappear, along with tongue circles.
Will keep you posted .
