RM - glad to hear you're feeling better, and your training ride went well.

Brain bits all over the place is not a pretty sight.

Keep going RM!! Like I said I will be starting down your same path next week after my backpacking trip. I am sure I will be asking you for advice

Wow, you guys are doing so well! I just finished a DC while I started reading Mr. Silver entries....haha. My husband brings home the cookies and I end up eating them....hate to waste food blah blah blah. Junk is Junk and starving children shouldn't be eating it anyway so I will dump it. Only about 20lbs of baby weight to go. Can almost fit into my fancy shorts! I'm soooo tired of riding standing up. LOL

I'm going to hit the farmers market on Sunday for some more raw honey and start replacing.

I like to put cranberry emergen-C in my bottle of water.....cranberry extract good for woman parts and no more boring gallon of water.

RM - I finally had a chance to read this thread! When I saw the subject I sent you butterflies - I wonder if they helped make sure your head didn't explode? It didn't, so they must have!

I'm so proud of you! Yay, go, girl, go!!!

I had to kick sugar for awhile myself - but I kicked a lot of other stuff at the same time and I was sick already and it didn't bring any relief, so that doesn't help you at all. However, I haven't had sugar in the house for a couple of years. I use raw agave nectar in the few recipes I actually make that need sweetening. I like the mild flavour. I'll be using it in a batch of sangria tomorrow....

Keep posting, keep your will in it, you'll kick this and feel fabulous!!

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

Hi there RM, how is it going for you? I have started to cut back on the sugars, luckily I usually don't eat too many to begin with. I am not a cookie or cake fan so I don't eat those at all. For me it is the chocolate which draws me in. I was also drinking juices which has a ton of sugar in it. well this week I only had two mini chocolate bars have not had any soda at all. I did have 3 glasses of natural juice. Are you trying to cut back on sugar/sweet items or sugar including what may be in crackers/pretzles..etc. I have found even in the non-processed snack type of foods there is still sugar. I don't think I can cut out all of that from my diet or maybe I could. I stick mainly to whole wheat type of bread/pita pockets. Hope you are doing well.

Still hanging in... Almost a week now.
Oh wait. I was in a jam and had a bottle of gatorade yesterday
Yesterday afternoon I developed some stomach distress while at the shop. I had to go straight to the bmx track to watch RS race, and I realized that I was really dehydrated. Like BAD. So I decided that even though it's all sugar, I needed to have a bit of gatorade to help replinish everything that was leeching from my poor body. UGH
Didn't help that it was around a hundred degrees and 70+% humidity..

W-A-T-E-R

Drink water all day long and it will help reduce sugar cravings as well as keep you hydrated.

I do drink gatorade (cut in half with water because it's too sweet) on my rides, but I drink water all day long. I keep a big mason jar filled with ice and water with me all the time.
