I am the klutziest klutz on the planet. My toes have met every coffee table and chair in their paths. I also constantly turn corners too quickly and bump into walls subsequently yelling, “Who put that wall there?” Almost every day I look down and discover some new bruise and have no idea how or when I got it. All this to say, I injure myself on a daily basis and I’m only thirty-one. I am scared for myself and my well-being when my bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons aren’t in their peak, youthful capacity. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna need a hip replacement by the age of 45 just because I fell getting out of my car or did something else dumb like that. Ugh.

I was at a kid’s birthday party last week and they were playing “Pin The Tail On The Donkey”. If you’ve never heard of this game, the player dons a mask covering his eyes so he can’t see, is spun around a couple times (enough to disorient him), then sent off in the direction of the poster with the picture of a donkey on it and attempts to pin the tail as close to the appropriate spot (err…the donkey’s behind). It got me thinking, what if God designed human beings like that?! Like someone would end up with their eyes where their bellybutton is and an arm coming out of their skull? We’d all look like a bunch of Picasso paintings come to life. I guess it would suck if you were formed the day God got spun around one too many times. Ha!

I have an addiction. Like no joke, I am in way over my head and can’t stop. I am completely addicted to…wait for it…sugar. I keep telling myself, “Rena, you should go without sugar until June” and then two seconds later I drink a milkshake, like the previous brain convo with myself didn’t even happen. I did paleo for about three weeks a little while back and did great, but as soon as I stopped, I went off the deep end. I am consuming sugary products like I’m going to die tomorrow. There is a bag of chocolate chip cookies in my kitchen right now and they are calling to me. They are kryptonite to my Superman. And just so you know, I could totally rock a cape. 😉 How do I stop?!??!
