Illness

Day 2 and the Shadow woke up vomiting this morning, which came as a complete suprise to me. It was a rough night with sleep from both of us too so perhaps he is just super tired and hasn't fully recovered from the flying yet.
A successful day. I didnt even think about sugar but am wondering if this is the calm before the storm as it is really only the beginning!! I am expecting many challenges...travel being one of them and parties being another....I am hoping daily blogging will help keep me focused, even if it just a few lines a day.

Flying...

In my last post, I said I am going sugar free for a year. To clarify, I mean artificial sugar free...I will eat fruit in abundance!

Me and the shadow (my son) flew back to Doha yesterday. It was a terribly long day as we were on the ground at Heathrow for just over 5 hours due to a fault with the plane that needed fixing. *A note to moany passengers...'I am sorry that the long wait may have inconvenienced your transfer to your final destination...it is a pain, I get that. But seriously...would you prefer to divert? Fly in a potentially unsafe vessel? I would rather wait 5 hours thank you!'
Anyway, moving on...we got home after midnight. I had a headache...we opened gifts at 1am in the morning as the shadow was hyper! It was fun...a bit exhausting.
So now the sugar artifical freeness starts!! Gulp.......this makes me nervous...

Sugar free for a year

I have decided that I am going sugar free for a year. I have posted before about my utter reliance on sugar and I am an all or nothing type of girl. I am so sick of having masses amount of sugar in my diet and being unable to control my desire to have it. So I am challenging myself to no sugar for a year. I will document it, hopefully daily, to keep me going....and it starts, not on New Years Day...no....it starts when my feet touch down in Doha tomorrow evening.....o boy!
