I had a good run this morning.  I actually listened to the TV instead of trying to read the sub-titles and the time went much faster!  I ran 4 miles and then did some ab and arm work.  Don't get to excited.  Nothing big, just some push ups and sit ups.

I weighed in this morning - 178.6 lbs.  Finally, the scale is moving.  Never underestimate the power of your period.  It wreaks havoc on the weight loss - both mentally and physically. 

I am on day 8 of no sugar.  Proud moments here - I made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies on Saturday -- I didn't eat any dough and I didn't eat a cookie.  I still have buttermilk syrup in the fridge and I haven't had a bite!  Pat! Pat! Pat!

I've been reading about the glycemic index.  Even though I'm trying to eat healthy\, many things I eat and feed my family are high on the glycemic.  I'm really interested in this and I need to find more information.  I really think this is the key to what I need to be doing.  In the end it will all come down to what I know already - less sugar, less processed food and the key --- VEGGIES.  Seriously veggies are the key to eating.
