No Sweets Check-In - June 15, 2005

[luvtorun]

I had SF FF chocolate pudding with my lunch today and that took care of a MAJOR craving I was having. Supper is over with, have some things to do around the house, my workout will be my dessert, then it will be bedtime... who has time to eat sweets.

BTW... I have been reading Ready, Set, Go by Phil Campbell. Someone on this forum recommended it to me along with Nancy Clark's book on nutrition which I have bought also.

In Ready, Set, Go it states that after high-intensity exercise where you reach your anaerobic threshold and, as a result, produce HGH, you could short circuit this by eating refined sugar two hours or so after the workout. Interesting... another reason not to eat sweets.

Thanks to those who recommended these books to me. I am enjoying them.

You're right, Mattea. I didn't want to hear that. But if for some strange reason you, say, found that recipe and, say, PMd it to me....well, let's just say I wouldn't be too upset about that.

well, there is still apple pie on my bar and i am STILL resisting! Tomorrow is dh's birthday and i usually make him a nectarine cobbler, but this year, since we are being good, there will be none:-( the good news is that the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy and corn and lima beans are getting cooked cause it's only once a year and it's his favorite meal ever!

I'm really enjoying this challenge. It definitely makes me keenly aware of what I am eating and why. Well today we celebrated DH birthday. I made this sinfully chocolate cheesecake with chocolate fudge over the top. I did have a very small piece and it was delicious.

However, I must say that I have not been bloated at all and am feeling better overall. Funny how if you give things a try, they actually work out for you.

I agree with everything that has been said today. I just came from dinner with girlfriends. We celebrated a birthday and of course got a dessert. It was vanilla ice cream in a cinnamon sugar bowl (Mexican restaurant) with hot fudge! I didn't have any. I did have a mixed drink that had soda. Does that count?
