I went to the Pilate's class today that I tried to go to last week, but missed. Have you done pilate's before? I haven't. It was kind of interesting. Very relax-y. Stretch-y. Not high tech. I have a feeling my tummy will be sore tomorrow. I am planning to go again next week.
I am still not eating sugar. I did just fine at yesterday's pre-Thanksgiving dinner. While preparing the candied yams, I was a little shocked by all the butter and brown sugar. More sugar than yams, actually! I skipped the yams. And the pies. I brought home some cake and cookies for the kids. I did not sneak into the kitchen to eat the treats.
My 21 sugar-free days ends next Tuesday. I feel kind of powerful and strong. It turns out I don't NEED it. There is a bag of peanut M&M's in the kitchen and I haven't had a one. And I'm not even feeling sad or left out about that. Do you know how unusual that is for me? Candy, chocolate in particular, usually CALLS to me. I am planning to stay in control of my eating and limit sugary treats to Holidays and other special occasions, not each and every afternoon.
I just ran in and weighed myself. I'm down one pound since last week and I am now at a reasonable weight for me. So I won't mention my weight again here.
That's good. In other news, I haven't been to the beach in almost a month. That is not good. I am going to fix that this weekend.
What are you fixing for dinner? I am not interested in cooking, but my family keeps expecting to eat all these meals. Crazy people. Help!

Pilates.....yes, you most likely will have sore abs tomorrow. I've done pilates, and I like it! I like not getting all huffy, puffy, and sweaty.
dinner....i'm doing leftovers tonight. ryan was going to take the lasagne for lunch today, but thankfully i walked into the kitchen just in time to save dinner! :)
Did I mentionn how much I love to read your blog!! Great job on the sugar and pilates and all that stuff. For dinner? Try this: layer thawed chicken (tenderloins or breast), good seasons italian seasoning, sweet potatoes, or potatoes (peeled and sliced thin)more seasoning. french cut green beans more seasoning, and a couple flats butter on top. Cover and bake 350 for 2 hrs. So yummy!
Keep us posted on the Pilates. I just might break out my DVD and give it a try.
I had twins 7 weeks ago, so I'm trying to lose some weight too, but I don't think I could give up sugar...even for a little while. Good for you!!

Hi Wendy! This is Mary's friend, Lynette. Thanks for your comment on my crafty blog. The pattern I used for the dress and shirts is actually a real pattern, but the crayon roll pattern i got from here: http://www.skiptomylou.org/2007/04/25/on-a-roll/ . They are super easy and fun for kids...i've made a bunch already :) Have a great day!
I really need to join you in your 21 days sugar free. I am such a nut for peanut m&ms, all kinds of sugary things call my name. I am proud of you showing us all how to have some self control.
