Sugar Fast Day 4 - eeeeek


Sugar Fast Day 4 - its COLD but the sun came out!!
BUT alas today probably does not count as "sugar free"

Breakfast = 2 x slice toast + marmite + fried egg (minus oil since we have a flash non stick pan)

Mornig tea = Coffee at Church

Lunch = Black Betty's with friends + savoury fill crossant + long black coffee (Oh SOoo good!)

Black Bettys Cafe is a great place, LOTS of people love it as it is ALWAYS busy!

Cravings Nil = BUT I must confess that this mornings toast AND tonights Cheese toasties where made of WHITE BREAD! Arg its practically a sin BUT it was the only thing they had at the 24/7 bakery we went to laaaaaate last night after the gig. SO I admit I practically ate SUGAR for Breakfast, Lunch (crossant) and TEA today . . . .

Dinner = Left over soup from the other night and cheese toasties

Baking Sugar & butter free flap jacks right now (yes 10pm) - again not technically sugar free as lots of dried fruit.

Never mind MONDAY is a new day, a new week and a fresh start for my wee sugar fast.

Twenty things to do in your twenties


excellent wise words from my little sister

1.       Write a song or poem.

2.       Honor your parents more by talking to your parents and grandparents more, find out your family history.

3.       Hold a clothes swap party RECYCLING is worth while

4.       Sing Hanson or Spice Girls at a karaoke bar.

5.       Learn five constellations to point out in the night sky and climb a mountain.

6.       Take more photos –print them out FACEBOOK don’t count

7.      Read books out loud to kids with voices and tell them you are proud of them. Read smart book s to yourself.

8.     Develop a signature dish or treat and make it for the people you work with or someone,e.g. lasagna from scratch.  Learn to make sushi with the rolling mat thing.

9.     Memorize heaps of scripture – recipe for life.
 10.   Learn to play a song on an instrument.

11.   Properly celebrate birthdays your own and others e.g. with presents meaningful card and without complaints of getting old.

12.   Go to an Art Gallery with someone who knows something about it, try to understand without saying, “but I could have done they”

13.   Don’t worry about having your life completely sorted; it’s ok to be immature sometimes.

14.   Aim to worship God in ‘Spirit and in Truth’ living out being free, who cares what you look like.

15.   Ring a friend every week to just chat and catch up.

16.   Give away stuff; give away scary amounts of money. Fight your greed by actively developing your generosity.

17.   Say ‘I Love you’ every time it’s appropriate or even when it’s not for that matter…

18.   Include new people in your life every month; tell the old ones how awesome you think they are, always aim to make others comfortable.

19.   Volunteer to help, you’re doing yourself a favor

20.   Smile frequently so that it’s a habit and you get better wrinkles.
