Breaking the soda habit
Sunday, February 24th 2008
Water, Water, water that's all my mother kept saying to me. Lory stop drinking sodas and drink more water. Well, I have decreased the amount of diet drinks I used to drink by at least 90% thanks to sensitivity problems to equal.

I did find some no preservatives, no sodium,no caffeine splenda sodas ( diet Hansen's ) that taste pretty good and come in a lot of flavors. They don't giv...walking the husband

Today is a beautiful day so I decided to walk the husband. That's right everyone, you heard me right. Instead of taking the dogs for a walk I thought I would ask my husband along.

This could be because of my diabetes too. If I eat too many carbs, I start craving them. When I get a carb craving, I often have a problem with my blood sugar. I do try to make what little carbs I do eat be the most nutritious ones. ( except for the occasional piece of candy
