jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	p.s. Now you know why they call me a gabologist...sorry...but I wanted to say this and then I'll hush. If you are going to give up one thing at a time, I would say start by giving up SUGAR right off the bat. Go to a health food store and buy up some Stevia. It is a substitute for sugar and is good for you! Once you do, you won't be able to eat sugar, it will be too sweet and will gag you...no joke! JJ

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I can't imagine giving up sugar. I am a carb addict and don't know where to begin. What would I have for breakfast if I didn't have cereal, an English muffin, blueberry muffin, toast? If I have poached eggs, I have them on toast. If it's bacon, I want it on toast. Seriously, what do you gals eat for breakfast that isn't carbs or all fat?

Daisygirl Member Registered: 08/25/05 Posts: 1052 Loc: Ohio	Dotsie, I'm kind of doing the low carb diet and I used to eat toast for breakfast. Now I have a hard boiled egg. I hardly ever eat regular bread, it has to be homemade at a restaurant. I never eat potatoes unless they're homemade mashed. You would be surprised at the amount of carbs in certain foods. I recently learned that bananas have 23 - that's a bunch. I buy low carb bread and it's edible when you put a great chicken salad on it. I suggest you purchase one of the Adkins or South Beach diet cookbooks. Daisygirl

Casey Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 789 Loc: Aptos, California	I walked yesterday for 30 fast minutes. I was going to garden (strenuously) today, but my day just got tossed. It's good, but stressful. My son is being released from jail so I can drive him to San Francisco (2 hours) to go into a 2 year program. And my ex- wants to go as well. Yick. But I can't deny it as we won't have any contact with Jesse for at least 12 months. And, being the control freak I am, I will drive. (My ex doesn't drive well, anyway!) Water isn't going to work today either -- going to the bathroom frequently isn't realistic! LOL! I'll "intend" not to have sugar and see how far I get! Thanks for the support.

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	I eat Kashi cereal and sometimes I have fruit, or I'll make a delicious strawberry (fresh or frozen), banana, and skim milk milkshake and drink that. It makes enough for two or three meals, too. Even fresh fruit has natural sugar in it so you can't totally get away from it. I would just watch the "sugar content." Casey! Wonderful. You have to start somewhere...you are so right about the water and the drive over there. I wouldn't do it either. I tell everybody I'm good for about 20 miles, then I have to stop and go. Good for you though making a start! JJ

Casey Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 789 Loc: Aptos, California	O.K. Sigh of relief. That's done. I didn't have any processed sugar yesterday -- no cookies, ice cream, etc. High on the fat content because the group insisted on Denny's -- yick! But I had diet coke and not a milk shake, so yea me! Today I will get at least 8 glasses of water and a 1/2 hour of exercise. I will continue to avoid the processed sugar. Thanks for the support!

Hold me accountable, ok?? Going to try to cut out sugar and butter (my big weaknesses)and I've started my morning walks again.
