Day 2, 3

Well, Day 2&3 were simple enough.  Sick and didn't really want to eat much until supper on Day 3. And then my weird stomach kicked in and I had to do the thing that stops my stomach from hurting.  First, I have to tell you that I have a weird stomach and things that would make someone with a stomach ache feel even worse, make me feel better.  So with that said, I ate a gut burger and fries from Arby's and ....I felt better.  I knew it would be the cure. Don't ask me to explain why cause it doesn't make sense.  But it works so I do it.
So now I'm back on schedule and ready to get back on the no sugar and no processed foods thing.  Did you know that Fritoes are only ground corn, corn oil and salt?  Unless I'm missing something, I think that qualifies for "unprocessed" (in the loosest sense of the word.).  Remember...I'm not counting points or calories.  Thank goodness for that because I LOVE Fritoes.  Notice the CAPITAL letters of LOVE...yes, I'm 56 and LOVE Fritoes.  I admit it and am not ashamed of it. So there.
So back on the wagon as they say...

Day I Lost Sausage

So ok...I've never done this before. In fact, I always wondered why someone would want to read a blog.  Just a bunch of blah, blah-blah, blah, blah... So I don't really care if you read it.  It is just going to keep me accountable to this adventure I've decided to go on.  I will not bore you with exact recalls of food eaten cause that is not the point.  No "diets" or counting points or calories.  Just real food the way it was meant to be eaten.  No sugar and no processed foods.  Only sugar is the natural form found in fruits and vegetables.

I need to lose this sausage that has taken up residence around my middle since December 2009. Being very sick in December was once the reason  for my "see food" diet and no exercise but now that has just turned into an excuse since we are now approaching another December.  So I have no reason not to embark on this trip albeit a scary one.

Why scary?  Cause I love food like salty fries, fried pickles (yes, there are such things and I assure you they are divinely delicious!), chocolate ice cream, pecan pie, lasagna...well you get the gist of my addictions.  You know why bread exists?  To slather thick layers of golden, creamy, salty butter on!!  I can never keep both of them in the house at the same time.  Nope. Nope not even a smidgen.  Yes, I'm a wimp...butter and bread can turn me into a swooning female in nothing flat.

So this is Day I and I"ve eaten no sugar except what is in the fruit that I ate.  Good for me!  I've had vending machine crackers offered to me  twice today plus McDonald's french fries (I could write "Ode to a French Fry") and I turned them down.  Another Good for me!!  Not saying it was easy but the job got done.

Each day I will sit down and write the daily adventure.  At the end of 30 days I'll re-evaluate and see how the ol' sausage is fairing and decide if I want to continue or not.
