The "No Sweets" Check-In - June 1, 2005

RE: The

Ok count me in here. Exceptions: Birthday celebration this weekend for My DS & DD,Fathers Day, Son's HS Graduation June 25/ Bridal shower June 26th (both events at my home). If those are my only cheat days I figure I'll be mostly OK and not deprived either!

RE: The

so far so good for me! I just had a little sugar in my coffee. That's the one thing I can jsut never live without. :) We'll see how the rest of the day goes :)
 
RE: The

Waaaa! I want my afternoon Kashmiri Chai from Honest Tea...5 grams from a "hint of sugar cane juice". HELP!

RE: The

It is 2:30 here and I didn't have Lucky Charms for breakfast, only wheat toast with PB on it. Only water to drink...

Someone brought cookies to our breakroom!! Everyone said that they were delicious, but I didn't even look at them. This is HUGE for me! I am so glad that we are doing this challenge!

On a funny note, I woke up and had a crazy morning and somehow got to work and looked down and I had on 2 DIFFERENT shoes!!!

I was trying to decide which one looked better with my outfit and somehow walked out the door without choosing! It has been the joke here all day. I laughed so hard that I was crying!
 
RE: The

Kim - I think you could probably have that. I think mostly we're talking baked goods and their evil brethren.

I think Cathe said it all. Now back away from the Chai.
 
RE: The

Uh oh Luna. We're sending mixed messages. I say Kim can have her tea. Just as long as there's no cookies with it:p
 
RE: The

I thought she was looking for support. But...if yoooouuuu want her to drink the Chai, Jim Jones, then she should drink the Chai. :p
 
RE: Yummy syrup substitute

There are two options you can do: one is to use a sugar free syrup (don't get Atkins brand as it's really thin). Mrs. Butterworth makes a good one.

The second is the one I've been doing lately. Take a half cup or so of frozen or fresh berries (I use either strawberries or blueberries) and a tablespoon or two of water. I put in a packet of stevia to sweeten. Cover and microwave (2 minutes 30 seconds for frozen and 90 seconds for fresh fruit). Remove and add a tablespoon of flaxseed oil. Mix and serve on top of your waffles or pancakes. Yummy!
 
RE: The

Yes, please shave the head of the cat. It will make taking that tequila shot off the head that much easier. }( Tee hee.
 
RE: The

So far, so good!

Now tell me this...will it be easier in the days ahead..or harder as time goes by?

RE: The

I DID THE SAME THING ONCE!!!! Only I was walking in my daughter's high school when I noticed I was wearing BLATANTLY 2 different shoes. I rushed home and changed before work! Thank goodness she had forgotten something in the car when I dropped her off or else I never would have noticed!!!

TOO FUNNY!!

RE: The

You guys are cracking me up! I gave my tea away! For a fleeting moment, I was going to grab it off my co-worker's desk saying, "Shelley, said it's ok for me to have this!" as I ran away with it!

Heck man, I pump iron -- I'm more powerful than 5 measley grams of sugar cane juice, anyhow! Carry on! (and thanks for your suport!)

I will not succumb to sugar, I will not succumb to sugar, I will not succumb to sugar....

RE: The

Ok, I just had to post this. I had two of my children's end of school picnics. Man, both places were loaded with sweets. I didn't touch a one!!! Like I said before not a sweet-a-holic, but when you're making a conscience effort not to have something, it does beckon to you! }(

I also had to stop at a candy store to get the secretaries a box of candy. Everything looked so good...the vanilla creams! I walked right out of there with my two boxes of candy!

You guys are too funny!! Oh, it makes me wish I could be going on the road trip too!

RE: The

Good job! Good grief, i am away for a few hours and all this humor was missed until now! It is 3:28 here and all is well. No sugar for me}( the only good thing about this cold is that i can't taste anthing and therefore am craving nothing!


i can't believe the four of you are sharing a room. there will be all sorts of crumbs by the time it is vacated on Sunday! :p :+ hysterical. can we set up a video camera to capture the madness and submit it to "Funniest RoadTrip Videos" please?!}(


oh, yeah, the 2 different shoes thing...........LMAO about that one!

RE: The

Crumbs, cat hair, shaving cream, little lime shells stuck to the wall. Can't guarantee the condition of the room after we're out of there!

And if the video wins a prize, I say we treat everyone to new Cathe DVDs!!!

I should probably mention at this point that I snore to the tune of Take A Chance on Me! Go ABBA!! :D
