1. I’ve been spending lots o’ time in the library as of late. Sometimes I’m super productive. And sometimes I just watch The Bachelor or The Biggest Loser or How I Met Your Mother (on headphones, of course). I’m off topic already and I haven’t even started. Okay, the actual thing I wanted to say about the library is that, while I’m studying in what’s called The Main Reading Room, I feel like I’m in Hogwarts. It doesn’t really look like Hogwarts (or what imagine Hogwarts to look like) so I don’t really know where I developed this delusion.
All I do know is that every time I’m in there getting my study on, I want to work on my pronunciation of “wingardium leviOsa” (not leviosaaaaahhh) and down a mug of butterbeer.
Just stop it, Carly. You’re embarrassing yourself.
2. We need to talk about The Bachelor this week. Oh jeez. Where to start? I kind of feel like this season is a romantic, glammed-up version of The Most Dangerous Game, and Sean is secretly trying to kill the girls off. What is with the dates he keeps forcing on them?! Roller derby? Sky scraper free falls? Swimming in ice water in Canada? No thanks.
Don’t even get me started on the Tierrable Tierrorist. Or Selma’s overexposed boobs (despite her super conservative values). Or Sean’s seemingly awkward and underdeveloped kissing abilities. Does anybody else notice this?! He just looks a little… sloppy.
Okay, I’m stopping.
3. I have started counting down the days until my No Sugar Challenge is over. Yes, I feel amazing and yes, I’ll likely keep this up most of the time, but I need a nice big cup of frozen yogurt. (With cookies and brownies and candy and sprinkles and fudge, please.) I am super excited. Although, I’m kind of worried that I’m going to wake up with a massive sugar hangover.
At this point, I’d trade 58 hangovers of any variety in exchange for some froyo.

So proud of you for giving up sugar, I’m trying to do that for Lent….we shall see how that goes. Tierra is absolutely insane. That’s all I have to say about that right now. I think Lesley is super cute. I’m rooting for her. Also, you just made me want to watch Harry Potter today!
February 7, 2013 at 11:09 pm
Thanks, girl! It actually hasn’t been that hard! I just kind of got into a rhythm of foods I can eat. I totally like Lesley too. She seems very down-to-earth and spunky! Some of the other girls are a little too sweet (no sugar pun intended, I swear).
February 7, 2013 at 4:52 am
Your no=sugar challenge has convinced me to take the plunge and do something similar for lent (I.E- no dessert- or some variation of it…). We’ll see how that goes though..
February 7, 2013 at 11:09 pm
I can’t wait to read how yours goes!!
February 7, 2013 at 5:34 am
Bahaha! I love your nickname for Tierra. So fitting and perfect!
February 7, 2013 at 11:10 pm
Hahaha, I totally stole both of those names from the other girls on The Bachelor

There is no way in you know what I’d have done that Polar Plunge. I shouldn’t have to prove my love to you by dying a slow tortuous death!
February 7, 2013 at 11:11 pm
Right?! I can’t believe he even asked them to do that. If my boyfriend ever asked me, I’d probably laugh in his face, and then go sit in a heated car drinking hot chocolate.
February 7, 2013 at 8:51 am
Mmmm…. sugar hangover. Those are the worst
And thanks, now I’m craving some froyo too!!
February 7, 2013 at 11:12 pm
Story of my life. I’ve been dreaming up my ideal combination for weeks now.
February 7, 2013 at 9:14 am
Hahaha I’m sure this isn’t the time to tell you, but I think they have sugar-free froyo!!
The toppings are a different story though. Sugar is mandatory in toppings.
February 7, 2013 at 11:13 pm
Agreed. The best part about froyo is the toppings, hands down.
February 7, 2013 at 12:15 pm
No sugar? Eep. I don’t know if I would have been able to do it. I mean, maaaaaybe if I could still eat my body weight in fruit, but I’d definitely be missing my cookies and chocolate. I find that I don’t really eat that much processed sugar to begin with, though, so I figure I’m doing okay.
February 7, 2013 at 11:14 pm
I’ve definitely been eating my body weight (and then some) in fruit! I was in a bit of a processed sugar rut, and I kind of wanted a challenge to force me to eat more “clean food.” This definitely did the trick!
February 7, 2013 at 4:17 pm
I agree with u on the bachelor!! It’s a very weird season… he even got kissing tips from his friend(that was on bachelorette with him-i forget his name) … anyway there is so much drama I hope he’s not really that naive. You never know what goes on behind scenes tho.
February 7, 2013 at 11:15 pm
Hahaha, that was so funny when Arie (sp?) was giving him the kissing tips! I don’t think he really took them to heart… Haha!
February 7, 2013 at 7:26 pm
Girl I give you mad props for giving up sugar. I’m not sure I could do it without going insane!!!!
February 7, 2013 at 11:16 pm
Hahaha, thanks girl! I’m really glad I did this (I doubted whether or not I’d be able to make it 2 weeks- my original goal!) but I’m definitely ready for a little sugar back in my life!
February 7, 2013 at 9:25 pm
Way to go on giving up sugar, it is not an easy feat, I know. I have been cutting out refined sugar for about a year now, but its about balance. I still have my secret stash of dark chocolate
February 7, 2013 at 11:17 pm
Definitely not! I’ve been eating tons of fruit and lots of satisfying fat/protein, but sometimes I just need processed, sugary goodness!
