Now I have the Arcade Fire song stuck in my head. Anyway…
May started out brilliantly yesterday with a long run and another successful hockey game (sorry, Detroit fans…).
I also joined in a challenge for May that a number of Facebook friends/fellow bloggers are participating in: the elimination of all recreational sugar use for the entire month! My eating has been pretty good but I certainly don’t need the sugary snacks that creep into my diet sometimes. So for the entire month, I’ll be taking a pass on my little dark chocolate treats, those slices of cake that follow me home from Whole Foods, frozen yogurt after a hard bike ride, and so on. Eeeeeeek!
2 days down, 29 more to go! There might be a little sugar party going down on June 1st…
In other news, IT’S RACE WEEK! I started pulling together my gear for packing and had a nice massage to loosen everything up. My aunt will be doing the race as well and two of my cousins will be there to celebrate with us afterwards - it should be a fun weekend!

Count me in on the recreational sugar ban for the remainder of the month. I desperately need an intervention.
Good luck this weekend!
Good luck this weekend!
every time I see them Sharks I think about you guys. Some playoffs they are having!
Wow, congrats on taking the challenge to cut out sugar. That is awesome!
I hope you and your aunt have a great race this weekend!
There was a scary article about sugar in the New York Times. I haven't had a whole lot in the past 2 months but the challenge is energy bars/gels during workouts. Any ideas? It's a conundrum.
The little sugary treats are my huge weakness. But TWICE yesterday, I passed up a cookie with this post in mind. Apparently you have a good influence on me :)
Yeah Elayne that's why it's recreational use, I think - a lot of us really wouldn't know how to give up gels or sports drinks! I am enjoying Larabars since they are exceptionally simple with respect to ingredients and no sugar (at least the flavors I'm eating).
Hmmm I have to say, I'd give up sugar but I'm not quitter! :) What would I do around here if sugar was removed!
Good luck this weekend!
Good luck this weekend! Good luck to your family members also!
Where is the race and can we follow it online?
Good luck Molly, you're gonna do great.
That is right....it is race week! Good luck, LMM!
