I finished grading Chemistry!!!!!
Let's have a cake to celebrate!!!!! (Next Wednesday, since I'm sworn off sugar for a week. I can dream until then.)
On a side note, I have agreed with a friend to give up sugar for a week while she gives up bread. (I think I have the easier end of this partnership.) Alas, when I got into the 40s I realized my metabolism wasn't quite keeping up. This project is in the interest of losing about 3 to 5 pounds so I can be just where I want to be. Not that I'll do that in a week, but if I can shake the sugar, I could potentially do that in the end. It has been a tough row to hoe so far, but it helps that I'm writing down what I eat and the calories involved. It also helps that our riding lawnmower is now working right now, so we're all taking turns hitting 2.5 acres with a push mower which is NOT self-propelled.
While pushing, I meditate on the fact that there are people who shell out hard-earned cash to make themselves sweat like I am doing right in the comfort of my own yard.

Good for you! Bananas help. So does a teaspoon of honey. :)
ReplyDeleteI want you to know I had a hot dog WITHOUT a bun for dinner and some blueberries. You sure got the easy end of this! I also rode my bike today for about five miles. I had a coughing attack after finishing two steep hills. Then I remembered, why am I doing this while I still have symptoms???
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work in your SUGAR FREE WORLD!
Although I detect sarcasm and bitterness in your comment, I would have to agree that I definitely did get the easy end. Even though I cannot have sugar, I can have things that are sweet that do not contain raw sugar, i.e. fruit, fruit juice, raisins, etc.
ReplyDeleteBut good work on the bike riding. I walked a mile and a half with Kathryn and Susan on the track tonight to help wear off the Trader Joe's Chicken Mango Sausage (170 calories) with which I decided not to eat the bun also.
It is not easy to look the other way when your family is enjoying a nice bowl of Breyers Cookies and Cream, however.
Welcome back Kathryn and Susan! Don't let your mom eat sugar! JK :)
ReplyDeleteI should probably go without sugar but that's hard when you are on the road for business. It's in all the fast food and most of the sit down restaurants. However I need to loose 35 pounds not 3 to 5.
