253.4 Here we go…. At first I was frustrated because I had behaved… then I remembered the Cuban sandwiches…. oh well they were good. Today’s another day. Today I’m exhausted. 230/3am my sick kiddo comes into my room. Head hurts feels terrible. Next thing I know he drinks some water and throws up… Here we… Continue reading Day 7 Sugar Reduction
252.2 Happy Sunday. Despite my foolish behavior the scale isn’t screaming at me…. I want to be mad at myself but I’m trying to offer Mehr something I’ve struggled with my whole life….grace. I tend to offer it to everyone else… time to give a little to myself. Groceries are needed and instacart to the… Continue reading Day 6 Sugar Reduction

252.6 Is it too soon to use some explicit language yet? Not feeling this today. I woke up and could not get to the coffee pot fast enough.

Especially when you set the goal to just feel better and break your addiction versus losing weight? Or does this want… Continue reading Day 2 sugar reduction
I am already hopeful. This was the first time the day came to do something and I didn’t regret it. I have for years made my coffee as soon as my feet got the kitchen floor. Today I got kids up, ready, and out the door first. I waited one hour. Which might not sound… Continue reading Day One Sugar Reduction

I often wonder why I want to share so badly.
