100 Days of Happy

Day 71 - A Spoonful of Sugar - May 19

It's hard to believe that there is less than a month left before we reach day 100.  We've come so far in so many ways, at least that is in all but one of those ways, and that has to do with the title of today's blog.  I wish I could say my issue had to do with just a spoonful of sugar, but that's not quite the case anymore.  When I first got home, I really didn't crave sugar, in fact I can say I really didn't crave much.  It was quite the challenge just to find those things that were palatable enough to stay down.  Fast forward to these current times, it seems that there are many things on top of that palatable list and most have sugar as their top ingredient. In one of the tests that were done at the beginning of this journey they had me drink a sugary concoction then scanned to see where those cancer cells were.  Sure enough where ever the sugar was, those cells were attracted right to it.  Those little cells were so happy in that sugary environment they lit right up.  

Well, I really don't want those cells lighting up my life anymore, so it's time to put them on a diet.  I figure if I am going to be held accountable to that pledge I'd put it out for the world to see.  I know I can't quit cold turkey, well, I probably could quit cold turkey easier than quitting sugar again, but also I know that balance is the key.  So, here's to eating the good stuff, without stuffing in the sugary goods!  Another milestone to conquer!
