Uh oh's

It's been 3.5 weeks of no (okay small amounts) of sugar. All in all, I think I've been really disciplined, only giving in and showing weakness during times of grief. The truth is that sometimes nothing can make one feel better like a frozen yogurt can. although I will say I did first ask the nice girl at the counter if there was a sugar free option. When she replied with a no, I figured if I was doing it I was going to do it right. Did y'all know at Pinkberry in the Charlotte airport you can get as many toppings as you want for the same price?
What I did realize is that it is okay to sometimes 'cheat', as I am at the point where I just really don't feel the need or want to anymore. I think we call that progress. Frozen yogurt was a weak point. The second time my sister dragged me (okay, I willingly went) to a frozen yogurt stand- TCBY... Also in the Charlotte airport , I had no sugar added strawberry yogurt. Ohhhh yaaaa! Once again, Progress.
Oh and I also ate chocolate cake during my sisters bachelorette weekend. Busted. It feels good to get that out. I'm mostly proud that I haven't touched a can of soda or a potato chip or any food processed in a plant in 3.5 weeks. I eat a lot of rice cakes. It's probably definitely an un natural amount. Who even eats rice cakes? This girl. Lots of them.

On a hopefully more interesting note than my current eating habits, I had a lovely day off yesterday on the island of St. John, an extremely popular honeymoon destination. Absolutely gorgeous beaches. Its def. one of the nicest islands I've encountered in the Caribbean. Quite honestly, most of the Caribbean islands I've visited I find myself wondering why people pay massive amounts of money to visit. Perhaps the novelty has worn off... Or maybe they really are just as blech as they appear in my minds eye. I won't nitpick every island I've been to, but some are bad, some are okay, and some are more than okay like St. John. 65% of the island is National park land which in a sense explains the beauty of it. Another boss trip beginning tomorrow evening until the following Sunday. It's funny, last year this time we had been back in the states finished with our season for almost three weeks... Now we are just getting into the meat of it with the second of four boss trips before mid April! Esss crazy to think, but time will continue to fly by.
