How Things are Going

This was been a good week! Needed to get back in touch with family. Also, I was the recipient of a T-shirt made just for me! How fun is that! Now as far as the refined sugar program, I think this is still going well too. It is truly becoming a way of living. I have made a few adjustments rather than trying to make all the adjustments. I have not had any rebound weight gain even though I have not truly been very strict about my intake. I consciously avoid unnecessary sugars that I used to take for granted. I avoid pop and juice drinks, but not as if they are the plague. I have had pop and juice drinks, but my portions are much more reasonable. No longer, are the days where I want the entire anything. I want to taste it, and not try to consume the entire contents. I drink my coffee and tea black. Coffee truly has a flavor and now that I am drinking it without enhancement, I can recognize these flavors. My taste buds have also adjusted to saltiness which has been a surprise. I am amazed at the saltiness in some pasta sauces, but I was never one for reaching for the salt shaker anyway. I like eggs any style (scrambled, poached, over medium) and did use the salt shaker when preparing them. Not anymore, as I know can detect the natural salty flavor of egg yolk. 

Breads are now whole grain or not consumed, and sandwiches are often open faced to avoid that second slice of bread. But don't get it too twisted, I have become a more sensible eater, but I love, mac n cheese, ribs, dressing, potato salad and the like as always and will continue to prepare them. I just won't be putting them all between two slices of white bread like in the bad old days! ;-) 

Who wants a Homeboycooking.com T-shirt? This might be fun! In box me. ;-)

Thanks Chavez Coutures for the T-shirt! ;-)
