Got a massage and facial at an upscale spa with my friend, Kristy courtesy of our husband's scheming.  It was SOOOOO relaxing.  During the facial I almost fell asleep.  After the spa, we went to lunch and Kristy was asking me all about Aaron's barefoot running.  Then later that night we went to dinner with two other couples and they were asking about his barefoot running too.  We seem to be talking about that a lot lately.  After dinner we went to see Valentine's Day with our friends.  I wondered if the star-packed cast meant they spent all their money on the cast which meant the script would suffer, but it was actually pretty well-written too.  I laughed many times and almost cried once (in the final scene with Julia Roberts, in case you were wondering). There were a few characters I didn't like, but overall it was pretty good.

The no sugar diet is going well, and I'm not planning on taking a free day today. I figure I'm on a roll and I don't want to risk throwing a wrench in it by having sugar today. I gave the kids each a new toy and a little candy for Valentine's Day and I'm not planning on baking any cookies or treats.

What a wonderful Valentines Day present.

You're doing great on the no sugar thing. I really should get on that bandwagon.

Allie-Mmmmmm....almonds.....

Sam-No Sugar February. Just something I decided to do after noticing that I was having dessert every day and often twice a day; I wanted to break that pattern. Lots of other bloggers are doing it too. http://runningmama.fastrunningblog.com/blog--Roll-Call-nbsp-Ok-so-here-s-who-s-i/02-05-2010.html

Carolyn-Its not too late to jump in and go no sugar for the next two weeks. It really has helped me feel a lot better mentally and its not even hard to resist anymore.
