Steven and I kick started the year with playing DnD with friends! With the New Year hours away, I enjoyed the last bites of candies and junk food (not into excess that would risk me killing myself) because with this new year I am getting over my addiction to sugar and white foods! I know, sounds crazy, but to me, there is no true middle point when it comes to portioning the things I love to eat that will kill my body (unless someone else is in full control and monitors everything I eat). So I am treating this out of control hunger for things that I know are not good for me by giving it up :)
I can feel with drawls setting in, but I have treats that have been a world of help. Sugar free jello, chikerons, and this chocolate that is sugar free AND low carb! The company is called Simple Lite. So far I can only find them at Trade Joe's, but they sure help with the cravings. It may be a cop out, but my rules strictly are against added sugars (white, brown, and honey) and white foods (things made with white flour and white rice). I've allowed potatoes, only because I researched sweet potatoes and regular ones and there is virtually no difference between the two. There's 0.??% difference between carbs, calories, fiber, and protein. Sweet potatoes, if I remember correctly, have a ton of vitamin A and a little more of the other vitamins it and regular potatoes share in common.
Of course I've carefully made charts for myself (and Steven so it's easier for him to remember) of all the food I can eat without a second thought, the foods I should eat sparingly, and the foods I cannot ever, EVER eat again. I've also made reminds of meals that fall under the healthy side of things so in the moments I can't think because I feel so hungry for all the things I can't have, I can see what I can eat.
Also, since it seems to not be so secret any more, another resolution Steven and I made back in November (and hoping it'll happen this year) is to add on to our family. So here's hoping I'll be able to deliver happy news as to whether I'm pregnant in the near future. Until then, you all get to play the waiting game with us :D
Anyways, the rest of the week went by nicely. The babies were amazing and despite my new diet wasn't feeling too stressed out. Yesterday Steven and I got together with Jessica and Adam to go see Les Miserables. What a story! And the acting I felt was amazing! I did leave with a weird sense of not knowing quite what to think of the end, but Steven says they may have ended it in such a way that it can be open to interpretation and that there really is no wrong answer as to how to feel about it. If you haven't seen the movie, or the musical, be sure to bring a box of Kleenex if you're a crier because it's sad and happy at the same time.
Love you all and here's wishing you a happy fast Sunday!
