Grrrr....family....gird your loins! 'Cause it ain't gonna be pretty.
I am mentally preparing my family for the following mayhem and turmoil and chaos and overall bitchiness that will be February.
Because....
February is NO CARB MONTH!!!!! (simple carbs)
Also known as THE MONTH THAT MIGHT RESULT IN A DIVORCE!!!!
or I WILL KILL YOU FOR THAT COOKIE MONTH!!!!
sometimes called GET YOUR OWN DAMNED FORK! WHAT AM I? YOUR SERVANT? MONTH!!!!!
Yes, they have been warned and Frank knows that we will be throwing dirty looks at each other and swearing under our breaths at the other's seemingly unending stupidity and selfishness.
A coworker and I have vowed to go on this journey together, and support each other throughout the month. I think Frank is going to be joining in. He hasn't said so officially, but he seems kinda excited by it.
Frank and I did this about a year and a half ago, and it was tough for the first 4 days. Really tough. It takes every ounce of willpower to not eat a noodle, and you literally dream about bread. But it is worth it! It is a great way to jump start our metabolism and we saw great results the last time.
Mackendra asked us what was "no carbs". Frank told her that we wouldn't be eating bread, or pasta, or rice, or potatoes, or sugar or flour (pancakes, crepes etc.)
Her response....
"That sucks!"
She's a pretty smart kid, that one.
I'll try to let people know my progress.
'Til later.
Tanya
