Afternoon Ladies and Gents!!  I've done pretty good the last couple of days fighting the sugar monster.  I just read an article on AOL that said sugar is 8 times more addicting than cocaine. I've never had alcohol, smoked, or tried illegal drugs but I do know I am addicted to sugar.

I think like any addict I am probably hooked for life.  I wish I dumped like I use to!

Sounds Good Gina!

Pretty day here but the wind is cold.  I waited until it warmed up some then drove Teke and rode Poppy.  Both were very good.

Sugar is kind of hard for me because I am feeding the monster all the time with sweet protein coffee, sweet protein drinks.  My father was an alcoholic, the kind that never missed a day of work but drank way too much and every day.  I have always been very careful around alcohol but I think you can be addicted to lots of things.  I know that sweet liqure like ameretta and irish creme are a weakness for me.  A little in my coffee today and tomorrow I want it over ice cream.  The combination of alcohol and sugar is deadly.

decaf protein coffee  33g
eggbeaters, spinach, cheese
lemon tea protein  13g
veggie burger topped with salsa, greek yogurt, cukes
hot chocolate protein  30g
pistasios, peanut butter
pork chop, brocalli
protein shake  33g

It's really hard to avoid sugar or even the sweetness of artificial sweeteners.  I don't go out and buy banana flip cakes, cookies and candy bars like I did before surgery but I struggle having treats within reaching distance.

Sounds good Price!

Time passed since surgery: 17 months

Breakfast: 3 cups coffee with sf creamer, RTD shake

Lunch: refried beans/ cheese and a few chips

Dinner:       few ounces of beef steak with sautéed onion                           

Snacks: yogurt, Jack Links Turkey Jerky 

Exercise/vitamins/water: Massive restocking shopping trip today was my exercise (Sams club, Kmart, Meijer, GNC)  vitamins behind by a batch, but I will catch up soon, water and 11 oz protein shake and 36 oz of coffee

Sounds like you are a busy lady!  

Looks Good!

NEVER had alcohol?? really??  wow... and I agree with sugar.  Couldn't tell you about cocaine though...or smoking.

Off day today - off site meetings back to back.  I DID take a 32 oz glass with water with me - yea!

B - 1 egg and 2 pieces of bacon

L - nothing

D - went out.  beef tenderloins w/gorgonzola sauce and a corn chowder soup... I'm sure there weren't ANY carbs in that...

Vits:  yes

water:  did ok, not grea

Neither DH and I have ever had alcohol or even tried smoking.  We went to a restaurant called the Melting Pot with our DD's and the waitress said they put alcohol in the sauces they use for dipping (I asked because of the sugar).  I know it's foolish because there is  alcohol in foods that disappear but I insisted they mix it with something else. My DD's laughed their heads off and apologized to the waitress. 

The bacon didn't bother you today?  I forgot to check out the gorgonzola sauce.

You look low in Protein?

No I threw a protein drink in at the end of the day... :)
