Resolution 4

     I just read this article about one family's year of no added sugar.  At some point I will read the book, as well, when it becomes available at the library.  It sounds like a wonderful experiment.  Year of No Sugar: A Memoir

     So starting today, I will do a 30 day trial of no added sugars in my diet....no catsup, no sauces, no prepared anything containing added sugars.  That means no sports drinks or gels or gum either. My neighbor shared some Christmas fudge with me yesterday, it will have to remain in the freezer indefinitely along with a large bag of trail mix which contains some sweetened granola bits.  Wish me luck. I'm excited about this.

     I get my weather from NOAA.gov,  which said it was 39 degrees and sunny this morning.  My cell phone told me it was 21 degrees, windy, and overcast.  I was so disappointed to find out my cell was correct.  No sun, lots of ice and wind.  Sure, it is a lot better than it has been, but it is no sunny 39 degrees.  Poor Charleigh only got a mile walk this morning.
