A fond farewell

Tonight we went out to celebrate Joey's reflections win and to say goodbye to sugar for a while. We have definitely had too many treats over the past few weeks, and it's time to focus on healthy, nutrient dense foods. January is going to be the month of the vegetable.

Is that a farewell for all of you? I can't imagine what would happen if I tried to remove sugar from my kids diet, too. How was that place? I've been meaning t try it.

They're just going to cut back. I told them to make the sugared cereal in the pantry last, because I won't be buying it anymore if it has over 6 grams of sugar per serving. After Ellie's last meltdown because she couldn't have chocolate chips before dinner I'd had enough. Treats will be for special occasions, not daily habits. And sadly, they'll probably still get too much.

We have that reduced sugar challenge from our insurance again, and as much as I gripe (because I crave it as soon as you tell me I can't have it) we had a free day yesterday, and most of what I chose to eat, I found I didn't really like that much anyway. Of course, if you had brought over some brownies, that might have been a different story....
