Evening everyone :o) I hope you've all got mega bank holiday weekend plans - I know I have! So I've a few things to tell you about today and a little favour at the end too, but I'll leave that until the end.
The No Sugar Challenge - I am at the end of Day 3 of my 30 day no sugar challenge and to be honest, it's not too difficult just yet. My friend told me the first week will be the worst because of the withdrawl but I haven't had anything like that - although I never had sugar every day before this so perhaps the worst is still to come.
As you can see from the photo I took in the ladies toilets today, I have dyed my hair - which I have since dyed again because it was too unnatural looking. Now it's a very dark brown with red shine. Lucky for me, I only ever dye my hair with semi-permanent (no peroxide - much kinder on your hair!) so it will fade over the next month into a more natural colour then back to my natural brown :o) Isn't it annoying how your fringe always goes the darkest?
A guy at work today (I say guy, he's 18 so it's more accurate to call him a boy) confessed he doesn't eat breakfast or lunch because it's 'easier to count his abs that way' - I was horrified. I emailed him with tonnes of information about how his body will be suffering, eating his muscle and liver first, dehydrating, putting stress on his kidneys, finally eating fat stores and going into starvation mode (slowing metabolism and binge eating - which he already does, eating 2 12 inch pizzas last week on lunch) and he replied "but I still have my muscle! haaa" - there is no hope for the youth of today. at all.
Hopefully, if I'm not too exhausted tomorrow from emotions and excitement I will be able to write a short blog about my day (first day at Badminton Horse Trials for me! Dressage tomorrow!) but until then, I've a little 30 second favour to ask you...
My sister has EDS and when one of the two specialists for this rare condition retires this September they are going to close that department at the hospital she is treated at, meaning she'll be 400 miles from the nearest help. If you've a spare 30 seconds, could you sign the online petition to stop this closure? Remember to click the link they email you to verify your signature. It'd genuinely mean the absolute world to me if you could do it for my sister and everyone else who is treated by Prof. Bird. The link is:

...and keep an eye on my blog, because I am signing up for the Hull 10k in May to raise money for the EDS charity - my sponsorship forms are in the post so I'll be driving everyone I know mad hunting for sponsorship (not you guys though!)
Until tomorrow! x
