Year 2, Day 200: My day with sweets!

I don't remember if I blogged about this or not; and honestly, if I take the time to check I will probably get lost in reading old posts and then forget to come and post about my day with sweets....so I will risk repeating myself. :)

Earlier this year, when I pinched my piriformis muscle/sciatic nerve, I discovered that I was addicted to all things sugary.

As I laid on the hard floor waiting patiently for my muscles to relax, I gobbled what was easy - granola bars with chocolate chips, candy bars, cookies...yeah, it wasn't pretty.

So, I made Mother's Day my last day to have sweets for the rest of the month.

I had read, somewhere, about a family that sugar out of their diet - even the hidden sugars in foods (talk about a lot of label reading!). This family allowed themselves a spurge once a month.

I figured I could do that too.

Yesterday, in honor of Father's day, I had my treat for the month of June.....yeah, it was good. I had one double stuff Oreo and I had two Recess Peanut Butter cup flavored Oreos (yes, they were as good as they sound). I happily dunked their sugary goodness into milk and savored the cool delight. Such bliss.

Am I tempted to eat more? Nope, not at all. My next sugary delight will be in July for my husband's birthday (Grasshopper pie...yum) and in August I will have something fun at my family's reunion.

I actually like having something to look forward too - somehow it makes it easier to be strong. Sure, I have only been doing this a month....so I will let you know if I slip or if it gets harder, but right now? I am loving it.

Happy Walking!
