It was SO nice outside yesterday. As in I was actually somewhat breaking a sweat when I took Jake for a walk. Today not so much :( blah. There is hope though, right?
Anyway, it has been a week and a couple days since I embarked on my no sugar journey. I think I forgot to put an important note in my first post about it, but I am giving myself the liberty one day a week to eat sweets. No, this doesn't mean I go crazy and eat 10 cookies the second I wake up on that day. It just means that I can enjoy a dessert on that day. And enjoy a dessert I did on my day off :)
We planned did a little "Sprinkle" for our friend Sara on Saturday, who is expecting their FOURTH baby! I normally can pride myself on eating anything and it doesn't taste too rich or sweet, but let me tell you, I could taste the sugar and it was SWEET. But I really enjoyed it and actually savored everything instead of just shoving it in my mouth... like I usually do :)
I think the main thing I've noticed about giving up sugar is that instead of reaching for the cookie or candy, I reach for the bananas or grapes. That's what I SHOULD have been doing all along. But, unfortunately I don't. So, that is a big change and for the good :) Smoothies have been a great substitute but I'm still working on the veggies. Right now my favorite veggie recipe is homemade salsa. I chop up tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, red pepper, lime, cilantro, and add a little garlic salt. I may just make a HUGE batch of that and eat it everyday. It's seriously so good!
And below, I have finally caught up on the old pictures from when I didn't have my computer. These are from probably 2 months ago when it was sunny and 40 outside. We were so excited the weather was "warm" that we took Jake out for a walk in the wagon Dan's parents got him. Oh and the first are just some random shots we took. lol
