| | ...is killin' me! (know that country song?)
That's what I felt today at the grocery store. :/ I've cut out sugar and most processed foods from my diet in the last two weeks. I have felt tons better, seen my energy return, and my breakouts have nearly stopped. But doggone it if it isn't HARD to resist the sugar urges!! Every aisle I turned down had something else I loved in it that I couldn't purchase...gummies, chocolate, chips, red meat, muffins...you get the point. And I LONGED for it...it took SO much will power to keep pushing my cart.
I won't be sugarless for the rest of my life, I'm just taking a strong stance against my desires run amuck to show them who is boss and to get my body back to health and from there live a truly balanced life. And what's sad is that I really like healthy food! But it gets old kinda quickly when it's the only option. :( I need to find some tasty recipes so I won't go through the grocery store mournfully singing "everything I love is killin' me" haha!
In other news - my Zimbabwe trip was fantastic last month! Met amazing people, saw gorgeous countryside and I even got to visit the house Craig lived in as a wee lad!
Now I am off on Saturday for 2 weeks to Kruger National Park here in SA, Mozambique, Malawi, Uganda, Sudan and Kenya!! Wowsa! I'm stoked though because I'll be meeting the bosses for the first time and it'll be a really focused trip, starting off with game drives and team building at Kruger.
I have a wedding to shoot the day after I return and we also have Craig's friend (and now my friend too!) from the US who is moving to Mozambique for a few months who will stay with us on her several day layover. We'll be taking her to Pilanesburg which is a game park only an hour or so away.
At any rate, I'll be super duper busy and thus very out of pocket communication-wise but that's your little update for now! Golly, if I have a chance I'll post pictures this week of the Zimbabwe highlights! Otherwise those will come later - when I have time.
love to all who read this! Here's a special shout out to Pop, Kae and Gdad! Love you guys!
Here's a photo Craig got when we watched this little guy from the orphanage overnight. He was such a bundle of cuteness! We watched the clouds, sang songs, ate food, colored, ate more food, watched a kid's video and put him down to sleep. Sweet times...
