Challenge

So.  We were having this conversation yesterday about coffee.  I love coffee.  I drink it all day in the winter because my house is SO cold that I need it to keep my insides warm.  That being said, I drink decaf mostly.  Sometimes I half it with regular, but the caffeine doesn't have any effect on me until I stop having it.  Then I have a raging headache for a week.  I hate that feeling that something has control over me...so I prefer decaf.  Well, once that was said, my sweet friend who will remain anonymous until she reads this (ha!) said that I was addicted to sugar.  HELLO!!  That thought never even crossed my mind.  I went without sugar while doing P90x.   It is possible.  I prefer to have sweet things though.  They just taste good.  I mean, come on.  I bake all the time.  And though it may seem to be what I think about all the time, it really is more the fun of making something that other people like.  I don't eat much of it.  In fact, I try to limit my sweet things to one a day.  I don't eat candy.  Chocolate in the form of cake is great, but other forms I can usually pass up.  So my challenge this week is no sugar.  I will cheat for my Starbucks treat, but other than that, I won't.  I have had 3 cups of coffee today without sugar.  It isn't as good, but its warm, and I will take it.  I made pancakes for the girls for dinner, and I had mine with a little butter and a banana.  I REALLY wanted to put powdered sugar all over it.  Because that is what I do.  But I resisted.  And I lived through it.  I did have a tall vanilla latte from Starbucks though.  Cam called and asked if he could bring me one...I didn't want to hurt his feelings ;)

I'll keep you posted on how this goes!
