Down with Sugar

1-11-10,
On a scale of 1-10, my sugar cravings in the morning have been an 11. If my child was made of simple carbs, I would have eaten her. I had absolutely no control over what I would eat in the morning - Twix bar, leftover cookies, 2 waffles with cool whip. Whatever. It wasn't that I wanted it, I needed it. I decided to try to get back on Lexapro - took 5 mg at bedtime last night. Am so excited to say my cravings were probably down to a 4. I ate an Atkins bar, and didn't want anything else. I had this theory that lacking in the SSRI would increase my sugar cravings, and I may be right. Will continue to rate the cravings. Being winter, and lacking seratonin prob. magnified them. Am also going to really try to be consistent with Vitamin B complex. Have read eating sugar depletes Vitamin Bs. Vitamin B complex helps with depression, stress, and gives me more energy, if I could just remember to take it every day. Got my little old lady pill case packed full for the week.
Need to organize my business papers for the year, and contact some potential clients. So hard with a two-year old. Currently: "Want some? Want some Mommy?" as she attacks my lips with her greasy lip gloss. These glosses have been on the lips of every member of our family, grandparents included, maybe even some strangers. Who knows what H1N1 strains we're passing around. but you don't tell her 'no'. She truly is a doll, especially when Jack is at school and they aren't harrassing each other. But trying to organize and run a business, re-apply for school and getting all of those papers organized, is difficult for a person with attention problems such as myself.
My blog is actually what I hope will keep me organized. If I check in with myself every morning, get my mind clear, think about what I have to do, get a little stimulation, I might actually have some energy and clarity to follow through.
