 weheartit

are you the type of person that hears a new song, falls in love with it instantly and then replays it constantly for the next week or two?

a week without sugar.

 weheartit

this week i gave up sugar...

think i'm crazy?

i would have thought so too a couple months back, but since then ive explored the wealth of knowledge available out there about why we should be restricting the amount of sugar (in particular, fructose) in our diet.

i don't want to get into the science of it all here...

you can read about that in the book sweet posion, the quit plan or the ebook i quit sugar...

but i did want to share my experience so far, as i know there are many people out in the blogging community who are giving also giving up sugar or conemplating it...

you should also check out suger coat it, as that is where i first stumbled across the notion of giving up sugar...

oh and search the twitter hashtag #IQS aswell!

weheartit

so far, giving up sugar hasnt been all too hard and ive felt fine, no withdrawal symptoms that ive noticed...

the biggest thing for me with giving up sugar is my nights out...

if you've read the blog at all, im sure you've noticed im big on crazy drunken nights out...

and usually these involve copious amounts of soft drink mixers and plenty of red bull the next day to cure the hangover...

but this week was different and i have to admit im pretty proud of myself for sticking to sugar free even when i was drunk...

i stuck to my dry white wine and vodka soda all night...

the next day i drank water, in fact i didnt even crave soft drink the next day which i found quite surprising.

i love cinderella story! weheartit

i think that like anything else, giving up suger is all about where you are at mentally and wether you are actually willing to commit or not...

i dont know if i can commit to this long term, as much as i would love to be able to say that i could...

but even if i only manage to give up soft drinks and fruit juice then i will be one happy (much healthier) girl...

i'm loving all the eggs and cheese i have been eating and the fact that avoiding sugar really requires me to look at what i am eating and contemplate wether i really want or need it...

i even went to the movies and bought water for my drink (i ALWAYS used to get a large coke)...

at times it has been difficult when someone has offered me chocolate or a lollipop...

but right now im really in the headspace where this is what i want to do and i hope i can  keep it up!

have you quit sugar?

or would you be willing to try?

share your opinion in the comments!

foster the people.

as i am sure you are all aware, i live on campus at university...

and after just over 3 years here i still love it!

 

this past wednesday we started a new tradition for our section of the campus...

we took the idea other residences have called "foster a fresher" and made it our own...

"foster the people" was born!

basically foster the people involved anyone who had lived on our res before this year (returners) being paired up with someone who was living here for the first time, wether they have moved from a different res (import) or it was their first year at uni (fresher).

with my two imports.

the freshers and imports must then do what ever their returner tells them to...

cue skulling of drinks, pushups, climbing trees...

being turned into the libra pad man...

kissing boys...

or changing clothes...

my imports second clothes swap of the day!

 obviously the result was that the pub we were at ended up with huge amounts of spew surrounding it...

and a bizzilion broken glasses...

but we all had a blast and came home to keep drinking and then go out at night...

oh and we are all dressed up st pattys because there was a theme party that night, we didnt mix our dates up haha.

:)

bend yo gend.

oh the annual gender bender...

what a night!

a couple of my friends n i went as KISS...

everyone looked hilarious!!!

milk moustache.

drinking my moove chocolate milk.

i LOVE flavoured milk!

strawberry, chocolate, iced coffee or the new 'moove' flavour caramel fudge...

 which you can try for $1 by clicking and liking right HERE...

i like them all.

have you heard about the 3 litre milk challenge?

here's an idea of what is involved...
you drink 3L of  mlk...
and then try not to be sick - simple!

well, i've always claimed that if i was drinking flavoured milk then i could most definately complete this challenge...

that said, i am yet to try it...

for some reason people aren't too keen to support me when there is a possibility i may vomit on them!?!

what i never thought of trying...

using over 40,000 moove milk cartons to create giant headphones...

odd right?

but someone out there thought what a great idea and thats exactly what they did...

oh the lengths some people will go to, to show their love of flavoured milk...

strippers on a boat...

im sexy and i know it.

oh my!

what happens when you combine birthday girls, brides to be and all their friends...

with...

a boat...

alcohol...

topless waiters...

and strippers?

one crazy, crazy, fun filled night!

thats exactly what i experienced this past weekend, celebrating my friend (and cheerleading coach)'s birthday at wildboys afloat!

all dressed up before getting on the boat.

my future husband... mmmmmmm. haha. ;)

i have come to the conclusion that male strippers are just hilarious...

loved watching them embarrass all the hens and birthday girls...

but was very happy not to be the one in the spotlight.

strippppppppper.

will say it was kind of creepy/gross at the bar for the after party, watching the topless waitors picking up all the boats guests...

considering they are there every saturday night, you can't help but wonder just how many of the girls from the boat have been taken home...

i even saw one hen making out with a waitor out the front of the bar, don't think that marriage is gonna last too long :/

dance time :)

being suddenly lifted up by one of the waitors.

have you ever seen male strippers?

if not, definately add to your bucket list...

the laughs are worth it!

the tequila experience.

"one tequila, two tequila, three tequila...
MORE!
four tequila, five tequila, six tequila...
FLOOR!"

a while back at my cousin's 21st a group of us got into a discussion about...

tequila experiences...

you know the stories?

where a whole day/night/week/year of drinking tequila leads to some crazy shenanigans or deep deep regrets or is the reason you havent been able to stomach quite so much tequila ever since!?!

if you DON'T have one of these stories, consider yourself deprived...

if you DO have one of these stories, oh please share!!!

my tequila experience:

for my 18th birthday celebrations i hired a motel room and had three of my best friends come and stay with me...

i bought a mixer tub to make cocktails...

i poured my bottle of tequila in and tasted...

YUCK!

it was the most sickly sweet drink ever...

none of us could even finish a glass...

so we switched to vodka and carried on with our night...

only to return to the motel room in the early hours of the next day....

ofcourse in my now extremely intoxicated state i thought it was a wonderful idea to skull large quantities of that hideous tequila mess of a drink!

and regretably spent the next three hours over the toilet bowl crying histerically and blubbering to which ever friend would listen...

oh the pain!

and so after that i never touched tequila again.

ok, thats a total lie...

the whole reason i even thought to write this post was because we had mexican/tequila night at uni last night (thus the photos - duh!)...

i've only started drinking tequila again this year (4 years after my horrible experience)...

and i was quite enjoying it...
until this morning :/

now for the good part...

pretty pleassssssssssssseeee with salt and lime on top...

share your tequila stories!!!

 

 

:)
