Sugar (do-do-doo-do-do-doo), Ahhh Honey Honey

It's time to say good-bye, my sweet tasting non-friend.  It breaks my little taste buds to even consider it.  Farewell....adieu.  

What brought this on?  Just a little reminder, encouragement and reinforcement in the form of a P90X Newsletter.  The main topic of this issue is "Sugar Addiction Detox 101".  There's all sorts of info in it about why we crave sugar and what happens to our body (involving but not excluded to weight gain).  Oh, and when I use "sugar", I'm talking about refined sugar.  Not the yummy natural sugars found in fruit.  If you need a refresher or are curious, I recommend reading it. 

I've decided to detox from sugar (refined sugar - the pear sitting on my desk for the afternoon snack doesn't need to worry).  Again.  No more!  Again.  I think sugar plots its attack while I innocently sleep away the night.  There are about 30 days left until my birthday, and I will wait until then to have a treat.  I will get only unsweetened tea to drink.  (Good thing I started this now, I had sweet tea this morning!)  I should probably have myself repeat that out loud every morning.  Tomorrow is going to be a test in my will power.  Sweet tea is one of my favorite things to drink.

So that's the latest goal.  And to all my friends out there, no bringing cookies (Maureen!) or asking if I want Frazzleberry (Maureen, Kristin, Gina, Mary, and any other guilty party). :)
