Bye bye, sugar...

I completely forgot that I needed to do my 2-hr. glucose tolerance test. It's been well over a month since my doctor ordered it. I suppose I'm going to need to do that one day this week. It's going to be such a hectic week anyway. My inspection sticker expired on my car so I've got to get that done tomorrow sometime in between decorating for VBS, running with DH, prepping for VBS and then VBS itself. I could get up in the morning and do the test, but I had a tiny bit of Sprite about 30 min. ago and I think I have to do an 8- or 10-hour fast anyway. I'd rather not make things even more hectic tomorrow than they're already going to be.

I'm happy to be home. I miss hanging out with my family, but I am so happy to be relaxing on the couch with my kitties surrounding me. I got to go to church tonight for what felt like the first time in a long time. I love my church. I love my church family, I love worshipping God with them. I got to work in the library tonight, which I missed more than I thought I would. I got some organizing done, which (surprisingly enough) I really enjoy doing.

I've started reading the Percy Jackson series of books. I'm on the first one right now, and I'm really liking it. I've always been fascinated by Greek mythology. It all seems so silly, but I've always been a huge fan of fantasy stories, and the myths themselves are so fantastical that I just love to read them. I think if I ever decided to go back to college for fun, I would get a degree in classics. I loved the classics courses I took at MU. I wish I'd taken more of them!

It's looking like I'll be able to start my new "diet" on Tuesday. We'll do some grocery shopping tomorrow (if we can fit it in) and then we can start going from my awesome menu that I created. I've planned out every meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks). I didn't bother with calorie counts, but I incorporated a ton of fruits and veggies and whole wheat/whole grain foods. I cut out all of the boxed meals and processed foods. I'm also going to attempt to cut out as much sugar as I can. That means no more soda. :( It will be worth it in the end, especially if I can drop the 20 lbs I want to lose and get a BFP in the process!
