30 Sugar Free Day's

[DeeBee]

My sympathies for your toaster Betts

Crazy how much "hidden" sugar we eat each day.

I still ate the toast though Actually it was a bit scarey. Flames and smoke and everything. Will peruse the list. Thanks DB.

Hi all. I'm really tired today (monthly cramps) and just lost my post. The good thing about being woozy is you don't want to eat. The mind frick story was spot on. I'm having one of those about the prospect of exercising. Thanks for the hidden sugar link, DB, I'll check it out once I'm conscious again.

Bets, you're so funny! "Fruit Toast Flambe" -- the new house specialty.

Oh my....you people are getting to me, in a GOOD way.

Not only did I ride my bike to work today, I also packed my rucksack with healthy foods to nibble on all day long...

Grapes, nuts, cheese, and vegetable juice. Look at her go...whhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

I haven't gotten 100% away from grains yet but have cut out ALL sweets and that was a biggie for me.

I have had a headache in the afternoons the last couple days too, which I know is my body detoxing off the sugar. But you know, knowing that is what is happening makes the pain a bit more bearable, it's like a SIGN that the toxins are leaving so I don't mind so much.

I also hopped on the scale and have lost a pound already. Good times! Hope everyone is doing well.

Sorry about your toaster Betty!!

Pamina I am the total opposite to you, when the painter comes to town I eat EVERY thing that's not glued down -- not a pretty site I know.
Macca powder is really good for PMS-ing if anyone battles.
It is a herb which is mostly used to help with infertility, erectile dysfunction as well as increasing sexual activity and increasing sexual desire, it has far more to offer – and interesting research has looked at the effect that Maca has on menopausal women and reducing high blood pressure.

A little bit of useless info for you today:-)

I must just say that this morning I woke up about 20 minutes before the alarm was due to go off and I leapt out of bed a bundle of energy which is SO not like me in winter. I'm impressed with myself actually.

Wow, that's GREAT, Deebs! You're such a good example for us to follow. I'm still hanging in there with my taper and hope I can get to full SF like you in a few weeks.

It's funny how we put all this junk into our body (sugar, caffeine, Goldfish crackers) to give it energy, when the body naturally has an adequate supply. I was raised on McDonald's, Easter candy, and Ruffles potato chips. I think they had no idea during the 70's-90's decades of how harmful all this stuff is. 'Turned me into Edgar from MIB:

Have a great day, with no sugarplum fairies.
