Week 17 - Day 135

The Xena Project
Week 17
Days without sugar: 62

Well, this is the last week of the Xena Project... officially.

As I went to pick up my Xena costume for the Halloween party, I felt that I'd been on a long journey to get there - to earn that outfit. I've braved freezing mornings, gruelling workouts, sweet temptations and confronting femme fatales at the nexus. I can see the benefit of my new lifestyle on my form and I can feel it too.

While bootcamp has been awesome, my greatest achievement so far has been over sugar. I never imagined I could break that hold. Most of you have no real idea just how enslaved I was to the reward and punishment cycle of the sweet stuff - chocolate especially. While I'd go on a diet from time to time and tell myself that I'd be okay with just having a little bit, inevitably I'd slide back to family blocks... yes blocks - the plural is no mistake. An expanding waistline is nothing at all compared to the misery of knowing how continually and inevitably I let myself down.

Do I miss sugar? No! F* no! Why on earth would I ever miss feeling like that?

Yep, the Xena project is over because I have no need for a project now.

I AM Xena! :-P
