Allergy? Addiction? Or annoyance?

Maybe it's all three! I'm talking about sugar. It gives me migraines but I seem to still eat it and crave it. Yesterday I had an awful migraine today I feel the aftermath which feels like a hangover... So today I stayed away from sugar with no problems but what will tomorrow bring? I choose to focus on today I plan just for today to stay away from my devil in disguise. Do you have a food that's hard to stay away from but causes havoc? What do you do? I know once I stay away for a while it gets easier but I need to get there.

Today marks the beginning of an exciting week.

This week is an exciting week for me, I'm spending 2 days in the OR...don't worry folks I'm just observing! When I started nursing school I thought that this may be one of the departments I'd like to work in...now I can get a better picture of whats done! 
Anyways....I was reading my instructions for the day and #2 is to eat a real breakfast and it even says how many carbs, fruit and dairy to eat. At first I laughed and even shared it with a friend. But, then I got to thinking,always a problem I know; They are trying to get us to eat right because we could be on our feet from 630am to 3pm without a break. Its so important...breakfast is what sets us up for the whole day. 
Of course this brought me back to the dieting-eating-exercising portion of my life...I need to get back into it. Do I think I need to chronically diet?!?!! Honestly sometimes yes sometimes no. Do I think I need to be healthier?!?! Hoestly HELL YA! 
This brings me to this morning...I woke up at the crack of dawn to study for my exam that begins in 2 hours 39 minutes. Of course I had to check darn facebook before I got started with the studying business...a friend of mine was writing a list of things she wants to accomplish this year. I started to think of the things I'd like to accomplish. 
My bucket list is vast and contains things like bungee jumping, hand gliding, taking a safari on an elephant, climbing Kilimanjaro, and traveling to Italy. Have no fear my list is WAYYYY longer but I wont bother you all with it now.
 I do however like to make a list of things I'd like to do within a year, 5 years and 10 years. I'll start my list and blog it at some point...but I can tell you off hand...
 I'd like to make more time for yoga, I'd like to run a marathon before I am 40, I'd like to visit Israel with my children within 5 years and I would like to lose 30-40lbs. 
Of course I have more short term goals like go on a few more dates with the hubby (long overdue) become a more patient mother, read more to my children, pack lunch every day and go running with Shmulik-my 7 year old son, who would very much love to out run me!!! 
I have to get back to studying...but hold these thoughts...I would like to revisit them!
I would love to hear what you have on your list please share!
