033. No ice cream for a month

I made it!!!

I didn't eat any ice cream at all during the month of May! A month containing 31 days!!! And many sunny days with high temperatures!

Have to admit that it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Boyfriend surprised me a couple of days ago when I told him it had been easier than I had expected. He calmly stated that he wasn't surprised as I could be one of the most stubborn people he had ever met, and if I made my mind up about something, I usually could do it. I don't really know if that is a compliment or not... :)

033. No ice cream for a month

Today's the 15th of May. Almost half-way through the month now. And still no ice cream. Honestly no real urge for ice cream either... That surprises me.

For the last ten years, I've had a strange relationship with ice cream. Being a student I ate waaaay too much ice cream. It happened on a regular basis that I had ice cream for breakfast on the weekends. Some weekends I only had ice cream and fruit to eat. For the entire weekend. I didn't spend money on alcohol, but I bought ice cream. A lot of expensive ice cream (Häagen Dazs and Mövenpick).

I'm much better now. But still feel somewhat "controlled" by ice cream. The fact that I declare a month to be free of ice cream suggests that I have "a problem with ice cream". It wouldn't be difficult for me to go a month without alcohol, sweets or kidney pie...

But surprisingly, this is easier than I thought it would be. One of my colleauges is going to test me next week though as he'll bring ice cream for us all on his birthday...

So today is the 8th day of May. I haven't had any ice cream in May. To be honest, I haven't really felt like having it either, even though we've had sunshine and an amazingly blue sky here the last week... Instead of ice cream I've used glasses of water to cool my head and body down.

Feel pretty good about that!

Kate called me brave in a comment to the last post I made about May being free of ice cream. I though that was cute. Thank you, Kate! :)

033. No ice cream for a month

I realized it's April 30th today and that we have a new month starting tomorrow. I also realized that I've had a bit too much ice cream lately. My rule of having ice cream on Fridays and Saturdays suddenly turned into "ice cream on weekends" and I ate it three out of the week's seven days... Too much.

So, I will try to keep May free of ice cream.

It'll be a challenge. Spring is here. And May has 31 days. I'm not doing this easily.
