gum drops


I'm "cured," ladies and gents!
I ate 3 (count 'em)
goodie goodie gumdrops -
and my mind (finally) said "Yuk!"
And then it told me 
"WTH are you giving me?
For this much calories, I could had something good.
Now - no more candy, already!"


I'm not really used to being out and about.
So I need to learn how to respond to all kinds
of tempting treats.

Maybe it's like training a dog.
They do fine at home. 
But they have to learn how to act
in every different situation.

Or maybe it's like Nursing School.
First, classroom - then clinicals - 
then the Real World.

Side sitting pics are the worst.
This isn't how I even see myself anymore,
although it is a recent picture!
To help with my posture, 
I sit on a work-out ball when I'm online.

In other news, 
I reached the overhead bar at CrossFit the other day!
Which means I am standing taller already.
And my shoulders are better.
I even dangled there for a few seconds.
Feet off the ground - yay!
So I am getting stronger!

Hope your day is strong!

  1. You are destined to become wildly warrior strong!

    And you look like you're playing the puter like a piano. I have a ball. I sit on it sometimes watching tv. Not a lot. I may reconsider for my posture's sake. :)

  6. Good for you. NO candy allowed in my house. Thankfully it isn't hard for me to say no to gum drops. I battle against things like cookies and donuts though.

  8. You are getting stronger and taller. You have been reaching and stretching in all kinds of ways. You are still an inspiration to me.

  10. It's something that is not part of my life -
    maybe forever - but certainly for now!
    I spit the 3rd one out, by the way!

  13. I don't think I've ever had an actual gum drop, what are they like? I've never been real big into sugary things but my weaknesses are carbs (mwahaha) and salty things. Cheese. Chips!
