THERE IS A SNAKE IN THE GRASS!

The Garden of Eden had the snake and 100SFD's has Cheese!

"Eat the apple, but put some frosting on it first!"

Over the past few days she has enticed 3 people (That I know of!) to cheat on the 100SFD's

She brought M&M's to Jessica at work.

She had carrot cake with Stephanie!

She gave oatmeal cookies to Vanessa!

And every single one of them caved! They ate the apple! I should have expected it from Stephanie and Jessica, they are quitters by nature. They always quit. V-Rod is a bit of a disappointment, but you cant be cranky with someone so sweet. Cheese got people to cheat because she feels guilty for not doing the competition herself. Typical.

Guilty Face

M&M's

 In a drunken stuppor I wrote the foods they ate on their arms.

Samoa Cookies, Fudgesickles, & carrot cake.

The Charlie Sheen of Chocolate goes to Europe

Holla shuga free suckas! I'm loving it, I really am. I thought I'd write because it's been a minute.

I actually got really lucky for the kickoff, which tends to be the hardest part of any new habit for me & most humans, because I had that gnar flu (see emo pic). I don't tend to crave sweets when I'm sick. Haaaaay.

The journey has been surprisingly smooth! & let me tell you-- I wasn't a light sugar consumer in the past. I share my story today.

I was the Charlie Sheen of desserts. My fav high was chocolate, and after that, anything creamy. Sure I'd occasionally have something ghets like a snickers, but my palate was for the good stuff. The 3 for 10$ "artisan squares" yuppy cookies from Whole Paycheck. Godiva. At rock bottom I was selling to support my habbit, downtown Santa Cruz. Yup, I was a waitress at a restaurant called Chocolate. We served desserts called the Orgy (when my tables would ask me to join I'd say "Thanks, but I just like to watch."winky face. That reeled in the tips! if there were just 2 people, I'd recommend a glass of Boutille Calle-- pronounced Booty Call, so they could get the party started), Adult Chocolate Misbehavior... my favorite was a fresh baked big warm chocolate cupcake, heated & filled with hot, fresh made Ganache, covered in that redonkulous home-made whip, dusted in fine cacao... I'd stock the home-made truffles in the morning "Oh no, this one's shell is cracked, can't serve that... must stuff in mouth..."

I'm having flashbacks...

My pitt boss (the restaurant owner), David, was a real Kingpin. Learned from the top-dogs in the game, a bonafide, certified Chocolatier educated in France. He was getting pounds of the good stuff shipped in daily-- hazelnut chocolate from Belgium so creamy it melted upon contact with human hands- you had to wear gloves to handle it, the darkest from Venezuela, fine powder cocoa from Italy. He was the Tony Ventana of sweets, and he was grooming me to be a full on Shug Thug. And I was all in. I was up at 8 a.m. weighing out lil sacks of chocolate all morning, melting down 60 gram bags of the stuff into hot chocolates that had lady names-- white chocolate was Bianca, Italian Sofia, Mexican Frida, Belgian Belga. Served with a lady finger ever so carefully glued to your cup with that bomb whip. These hot ladies were working the street hard-- Pacific Avenue, downtown Santa Cruz, to be exact-- and making our customers' taste buds dance & sing, kept em coming back for more. & all the while I was skimming of the top.

Vanessa knows the scene, she popped in many a time for a tasty treat, a buzz. You never met a more sparkly enabler. She could partoke with the best of us. I was hooking up friends, supplying for parties...

It was the blurst of times.

So if anyone has ever stood before you as a sugar lover, it is I. Since those crazy college days waitressing, I've had more mellow times, for sure. Kept it light. Cleansed etc, haha. But I always kept a lil choco stash somewhere, & as Ash & Ty know from witnessing me devour the INSANE football cookie sandwiches Ashley made for the Superbowl, or the veritable buffet of sugary delights o Thanksgiving, if the stuff was in front of me, I macked it.

This 100 day journey's transition, though (I can hear my nana-- "She says mighty smugly for day 19) has been, like I said, surprisingly smooth.

But then again, I'm a competitor. My drive to rise to the challenge, bring my team with, revel in the failure of the opponents, probably outweighs even my love of the sweets.

Because nothing, my friend, and this is coming from a big dawg Sug Thug, IS SWEETER THAN THE TASTE OF VICTORY.

I want to take it up a notch. Cuz that's how I roll. I'm going to Europe-- the motherland of the creamy, choc dessert that once eclipsed my world. And I am saying No, Si'l vous plait. ahahahahah!

Let's do this!!!

WEEKEND UPDATE!

GUESS WHO'S BAAAACK!?!?!?!

If you guessed Mike Kerner, you win! Our favorite Slop-Body is back and shedding that tubbiness! He upped his usual 2 miles walk/run to a 4 mile run/walk! Yeah dude!

Lannie got in a 45 minute fat burn, but is lacking motivation and forcing himself to go to the gym. We dealt with this last year everyone, after about 3 weeks it starts to get HARD. You start to realize, this isn't your regular 2 weeks off sugar thing... its 100 EFFING DAYS! Lannie has taken to chewing sugar free gum to fight cravings! He is a big fan of 5 gum and recommends it to everyone!

Winters sent this pic, I bet her little bastard children are tempting her! Hang strong W!

Kool-aid rocked the gym! woo hoo!

D$ was the kid that other kids weren't allowed to play with. Bad influence?

D$ and V-Rod sent me this pic of them staying sugar free! We went out the other night and I saw V-Rod turn down some sugar free chocolate covered almonds... She is a ROCK!

Baby Kate is being awesome as always! Bikram, CHECK. 1/2 hour cardio killing, CHECK. Strength training, CHECK! This batch is bad y'all!

Beezus and Schwartz are in NC doing an entire weekend of cardio, I can only speculate this because neither of them have come up for air to text me! Tonsil hockey can be so tiring! #1+#2=<3? stay tuned!

I asked Emily to do a blog since she emailed me some great stuff, she politely declined. I was planing on calling her to try and convince her, so I asked Daniel for her phone number. He gave it to me and then told me "DO NOT PUT THIS ON THE BLOG!'... I had never even entertained that thought! But i HATE it when people tell me what to do, and I usually do it just because they said I cant.. So, suck it D-Thomp... Click HERE for Emily's phone number!

I am going to shred on the slopes via skiing for the next few days, and might be blogging a bit slowly, do not fret people! I will do my best to keep the blog up and rocking!

KEEP IT SUGAR FREE FRIENDS!

It's the freakin weekend baby! I'm about to have me some fun!

R Kelly said it best, it IS the freakin weekend baby!

News time!!!!!

First off, damn you, Girl Scouts for making such delicious cookies!!! Everyone everywhere is eating them and they look GREAT! Winters' roommate ordered some Tagalongs and for punishment she had to describe in detail for over 30 minutes what it felt like to eat such a treat! That's harsh. Poor Winters!

If you want to have an amazing meal in Venice go to "Sauce On Hampton". Then afterwards when you get the check there are free warm cookies... FREE WARM COOKIES!!!! OMFG free is one thing, but to add warm into the mix... Ash and I both almost had a seizure, but held fast! After Reggie and Matthew ate the cookies we traded off open mouth french kissing them for 45 minutes... It got real awkward real fast, but its as close to eating a cookie we are going to get for the next 88 days!

Dom is an asshole, that's right people you heard it here first on 100SFD's news feed. Mike Kerner has a roommate named Dominic De Douche who is keeping cupcakes in their shared refrigerator just to tempt our "Future-Former-Fattie". (Yes I coined that, and yes its a double negative, AND YES if you think about it for a second it makes sense)

Dthom and Emily were enjoying DC yesterday when they found out Georgetown cupcakes was giving away free cupcakes! Neither of them caved... Stay strong, you two! You are pillars of strength!

Speaking of Pillars of Strength, DO NOT put Jessica on your list of pillars! I got this text from her this weekend...

"I may have gotten really drunk last night and had one bite of birthday cake"

She "may" have eaten birthday cake... Imagine if all things in life were like that..

"Sorry Babe, I "may" have contracted genital warts at my bachelor party."

"Judge, I "may" have known she was underage."

Am I going overboard on comparing eating sugar to cheating on your spouse or having sex with a minor?... I "may" be!

PFFFFTTT!!!! (Seriously though, I bet that cake she "may" have eaten was AMAZING! But was the flavor of sugary defeat worth it, NO! ... I think?)

Denlin says she has discovered some awesome sugar alternatives! Unsweetened chocolate almond milk is D$'s new jam jam! Direct Quote - "Not any brown rice sugar bullshit or wheat sugar... nuthin! Almond breeze unsweetened choco. Choco satisfaction with out the sweet!"




Vanessa said "No No No" to sugar this weekend at "Blue Jam Cafe" in Hollywood! She likes her coffee like she likes her men! Strong, dark, and with no sugar in their tank! GO V!

Speaking of V's Man, Mitch is driving his Green Truck cross country (he wont be putting sugar in the tank), it's going to be tough stopping at all those little trucker joints and not having some ketchup with the fries. Hang strong M-Dawg, we got your back!

Baby Kate is up north just handling business! Here is a snippet from an email i received from her "I really miss eating chocolate - I can put away a LOT of chocolate and not really be satisfied. I ate chocolate most days before starting 100 SFD." - Baby Kate, I'm with you! I too can eat chocolate till the cows come home and not feel full! But stay strong, and whatever you do, don't be a JESSICA!

Weekend Update... not with Kevin Nealon!

Hey Kevin, We know you"re reading

Ironically I saw Kevin Nealon shopping in Whole Foods the other day... I wish I had seen him buying sugary things but he was buying fruit.. I bet he is following the blog!

Its time for your weekend update,  I had my first SUPER BAD sugar cravings, I swear people that bake brownies and/or cookies within smelling distance of my house are terrorists... I know this to be a truth! I told Heather about my cravings and she told me to "Suck on a splenda packet"... Hey Heather... SUCK FARTS! (inside joke)

Pandora has an advertisement on the iphone thats there ALL FUCKING DAY!!! (see pic of the screen grab I did) I happily paid the $35 to get them to take the cupcake away from me... was it worth it.. probably not, but if it was like a picture of your ex and you two had a nasty breakup you would pay the $35 to get rid of it too! DONT YOU DARE JUDGE ME!!!!

Alexis is taking some good walks on the beach and played wii for an hour yesterday, she said she got sore... I'm not sure if that makes the wii look amazing or is she is amazingly out of shape... I'm thinking its the wii that's amazing... I think.

Molly fought some cravings for dessert last night, she won.. congrats Molly!

Vanessa said "no thank you" to her mothers birthday cake... i miss you cake... oh how i miss you

Girls Night is "sucking honey out of the beeeeeez nest" .. the first few days are easy people.. this is where is gets hard! If you offered me frosting served off of Osama Bin Ladens hairy nipples i would have a hard time saying no at this point.

Jessica went on a nice 2.5 mile hike with her dude Seth and did P90X with abs and plyometrics ... but fuck that... I want to talk about cake!!!! ... I also miss ice cream... Its a real love affair I have with this sugar.. is it love if you aren't loved back?

Forgive... but never forget

D Thompson turned down some cupcakes and donuts at work.. I dont know if I could have stayed strong if I actually had a real job (nobody pretend for one second that hand modeling is a real job) where people were always tempting me with sugary goodness... good work D Thomp

On another note, my mom texted me the following "rum cake" when i texted her back "WTF?" she simply replied " ;) " ...  She is a wonderful woman and has almost 10 years sober. So, I texted her back "red wine ;)"... TWO CAN PLAY THIS GAME NANCY!!!!


Baby Kate is out there hammering ass!!! Here is a clip from an email she sent me...


"Intervals on a stationary bike (with arm Resistance too) - 30sec fast/30sec super-slow for 30min

+ Nordictrac treadmill - 525ft elevation gain (got up to 18% incline) and 0.7miles in 15min - then walked it out to finish off the mile

+ Row machine - 3000m in 15min

Then treated myself to a hot tub soak and sauna."

There is an 85% chance will have a six pack of abdominals by noon tomorrow!

SHREDDING NEWS - Thursday, February 17th

Vanessa hit up an aerobics weight lifting class. Her and Mitch both are working on Mitch's infamous catering truck (The Green Truck, see right) feeding Kobe Bryant and crew on a Mercedes commercial. Kobe, Mitch, and V-Rod should have no problems fighting sugar urges since all they serve is organic, green, and uber healthy!

Stephanie is in San Fran fighting urges at Starbucks this morning, she is ordering her lattes "sugar free" and her p90x is in full swing. Its Kenpo tonight!

Denlin is on a Lil-Wayne shoot all day with our good friend Cheese, shes fighting the craft service table... its a bitch that craft service!!!

Kool-Aid got in a 2 mile run followed by a 1 mile cool down walk with the dog, followed by a bit of abdominal work!

Word on the street is that Schwartz hasn't stopped doing keigels since yesterday, needless to say Beezus is excited to see him put those muscles to use the next time they see each other! He also got in a 6 mile run at 7:00 pace per mile. That Schvitz is a BEAST! cant wait to see him perform at the mudder!

Kane Train has a serious "EYE OF THE TIGER"

Girls Night is taking a off day from Kenny Kane since hes been giving her an ass kicking pretty much every day!

Speaking of Kenny, our good friend Taylor is debating hopping on board the "Kane Train" and going a few sessions with 100SFD's favorite trainer!

Lannie did some 'TRX band training, and an AB ripping sit up routine!" - get after in Lan-Man, you set the bar high today with those AFTER PICS from last year!

Baby Kate is up north killing the shred! She did Body Pump tonight, which is an hour long weight lifting class!

Jessica D knocked out an hour long yoga DVD.

And lastly,  I myself got into a yoga class and got my butt whooped up on! Alyssa at power yoga put a hurting on me! Then Ash and I took a nice mile long walk to get groceries and carried them all the way back.. hey, shredding is shredding any way you get it!
