Gummy bear tummy ache

     If you saw my other post then you already know it was a tough day.  My only really knew thing was wearing a shirt out of my mother's closet.  Until tonight.  After an early dinner I started to fizzle out.  My spirit was low and the energy taken up by some extra hard cries left me exhausted...mentally and physically.  Good thing I was high output earlier today because tonight made up for it all.  I plopped on the couch and watched hours of television for the first time in months.  The rule was it had to make me happy or laugh.  I whipped through 5 Ellens, The Voice and am now on my second Glee.  The problem?  What is the new thing you ask??? Well, I was eating gummy bears.  One at a time and slowly.....until I realized the bag was empty.  That realization came only seconds before the stomach ache kicked in.  Yep, I did what I warn my five year old son against all of the time.  I ate so much candy that now I feel like vomiting.  That's not like me.  I am the just take a few and be on my way eater.  So as I rolled off of the couch and climbed the stairs only to plop into bed and start the dvr up once again I realized what I had done.  I felt empty today and actually ate tiny little green, red and yellow friends to the point of pain.  Many of them.  So my new thing of the day wasn't earth shaking but I have the sugar shakes and that should count for something.  

By the way...I am officially a third of the way through my challenge.  Thanks to all who have helped, inspired and encouraged a new thing.  Can't wait for some more suggestions.
