The Bird Show. All right, I am nervous about this week. I got to tell you.

I'm already nervous.

Giving up our vices.

We're all giving up our vices this week. We all have agreed upon it. We're all supposed to bring them in today.

That's right. So you all enjoy what I've put into the fruit refrigerator here in the studio.

Yeah, it was, my vice is sugar completely. I am somebody who cannot turn down a dessert. And so, you know, Jeff's birthday party was over the weekend and the people who prepared the cake there were kind enough to give me a layer of it because they knew. They seriously give you a whole layer. Yes. That's awesome. And they said, and he came and whispered in my ear and he said, I know that you have to give this up on Monday, so enjoy tomorrow. So I said, all right. It's the first thing he said to me when I walked in, you know, because the cake, beautiful cake. So I admire the cake. And then he says, hey, is it cool if I give Melissa a big chunk of this? Because she can't eat it right this weekend. I had no. I couldn't remember what he was talking about. And he's like, yeah, Monday she can't eat any more sugar. Yeah. And so he did that. But somehow I didn't get any cake yesterday because I think Katie is so excited that this is happening. Because, I mean, you know, I'm not in terrible shape, but I'm also not in as good as shape as I could be. be, and that, you know, eating sugar all the time has a lot to do with that.

And she's a hardcore athlete, too, right?

She's hardcore athletes. She, you know, runner, and she always has to be active. And so she's kind of excited by this. So I figured out this morning because yesterday was kind of a busy day. So it didn't hit me until after the end of the day that I didn't have any of Jeff's cake, even though I brought it home. But then I realized that she's the one that took it out of the car on Saturday night or Sunday morning when we got home. And so then this morning, when I was grabbing all the ice cream out of the freezer and I was going to grab the cake, the cake was gone. So she snuck it out and probably threw it in the trash out. So you didn't get to have that last binge, that final goodbye. I did not get to have a last piece of cake because Katie sabotaged me. That sucks. But I did bring all the sugar in and I will have no sugar this week, which I don't know if I went the last time I did that. Would you bring in? Well, let's see. Most the, what was in the house was ice cream. So I have the Neapolitan Mayfield. There's a lot of ice cream. Is that what that whole bag is? Yes, the whole bag was ice cream. Oh, my God. We should take a picture of that and put it up on your blog. Mayfield. Mayfield's good. So Neapol, Mayfield, and then we have some Barney's ice cream that is a Christmas special. That was Mama Joe's joke on me for Katie's birthday to bring Christmas ice cream into the house before Halloween. And I still have some of that left. But you allowed it because it was ice cream. But I allowed it because it was ice cream. Nice. And then there's some Sherberts, which haven't been touched because Sherbert, whatever.

So, yeah, so it's ice cream and Sherbert and stuff. There's no Halloween candy. Yeah, Halloween candy was gone November 1st. So are you confessing right now and you're totally honest in that you haven't hid like a Snickers in some compartment somewhere in the house? There's zero sugar in the house. This morning I was, I thought, I was thinking it did the inventory in the kitchen

because it doesn't stay. Like you talk about a snicker in the cabinet, it wouldn't be there for long.

So there's no, yeah, there's no, all the Halloween candy has been gone. There's no chocolate.

No, this is it.

Gone.

I brought everything that I had.

So no sugar for a week. Godspeed. This week, you're all of a sudden going to become Martha Stewart and start baking your own cookies. You're going to be like finding all the ingredients in the cabinet and be like, I can't go buy any, but I can sure make them. No, and no offense to, I mean, I'm not trying to make eating disorder jokes, but I've seen commercials where women are in the car, you know, outside the grocery store, hiding in their car, eating, finging, and so I'm going to do my best not to be that person outside of Publix with, you know, candy wrappers leading up to the car. Sad. But I won't. Like that you passed out with chocolate on your face. But I won't do it. No sugar this week. All right. Wendy, your advice that you're giving up for this week is what? Are my diet pills? And I like my diet pills just because we gave you a boost of energy in the morning. I'm used to taking two in the morning and I haven't taken any today this morning. So my energy level is already low, so I can't wait until Friday. Because I

don't know. I got, I probably started taking diet pulls maybe like three years ago. Or yeah,

three years ago I started. And it's just been a different, different brand like pretty much every

year. And it just speeds up your metabolism and gives you

energy and you don't need caffeine well yeah a lot of those things you may be having the same like

withdrawal that a person trying to get off a caffeine will have because those things are loaded

with caffeine and all sorts of stuff that you can get addicted to yeah and I think you kind of have

your like mind wrapped around like the whole diet pill concept.
