The internet has spoken

I will endeavor to go without sweets (processed-sugary things) for the next 40 days. Inspired by yuki_onna's unfucking project I will also endeavor to actually exercise for 30 minutes every day. Yoga, walking, climbing, whatever. My caveats are:

1. I have half a chocolate bar left in the pantry. I am going to finish it. Because wasting good chocolate is just dumb.

2. I will have a cupcake at my launch party. Because it is my launch party, and I am bringing cupcakes.

3. Cleaning the house for 30+ minutes totally counts as exercise*.

I may also attempt to sleep for under nine hours a night, unless a sleep deficit is involved. But I don't want to get too crazy too fast.

And now I'm taking my laptop to bed, where I will write 500 words of the story I have three weeks to finish. Like a m*therf*cking boss.

*This caveat is made because tomorrow will be a frenzy of housecleaning due to an imminent scary thing happening this weekend, which I will talk about later. Not the scary thing some of you already know about, though.

Housekeeping definitely counts as exercise. Decrease in sugar consumption WILL make you feel better. Win-win!

Cleaning always counts.

Cleaning the house absolutely counts!

Not only does housecleaning count, it seems to count more if you remind yourself of its aerobic and calorie-burning benefits.

The human brain is a weird, weird place.

After being outrageously successful with this strategy last year--eschewing not just processed sugar, but also pasta, potatoes and bread--I'm doing it again, with the caveats that I will be able to finish the Valentine's chocolates, that one Dove Dark Promise/day is medicinal, and that I can make either nachos or pizza each week. (Certainly started Calorie-Defying Housekeeping with a bang--we moved furniture about last night, up and down stairs.)

Cleaning the house is good exercise that uses many muscle groups. And never waste chocolate.

We are sisters in suffering.
