Week 4

Well... how did I do with the sugar thing?  I did okay... until that trip to Dairy Queen on Sunday! lol  Oh well, if the overall result is that I limit myself to one treat per week, I can be happy with that!  I'm on my third week of no smoking and truthfully, just the fact that I've stuck with that makes me happier than anything!  Am I going to keep this change?  Yes, as a diabetic, anything else would be kind of silly.  I will say that I do not expect perfection from myself on any of the changes(except smoking! lol) So, a treat here or there may happen.

Which brings me to this week.  I am going to take it a bit easy on myself this week.  I feel like the no smoking thing is still a huge, big deal right now and I don't want to take another big thing away until I feel steady on my feet with that.  So, this week, my change will involve high fructose corn syrup.  I've read the studies and I am convinced that I, as well as my family, would be better off without it.  I have no intention of tossing things that are already in my pantry but I'm going to spend this week checking labels and avoiding HFCS. Onward and upward!
