Thank you, Tennessee Ernie Ford. Awesome tune running through my mind right now. I am another day older – I’m NOT deeper in debt, but I’m headed to the “company store” for groceries in the morning. That could change the debt thing.
Still no sugar – no sweetener – day 5. I brew tea every morning and drink on it all day. One thing about tea – it’s good at any temperature. Start it off piping hot so it nearly scorches your mouth, and by the end of the day it feels cool. Tea and water are my liquids at the moment. If I want something SUPER cold, nothing beats ice water.
I cheated just a smidgen on my “diet” even though I didn’t have sugar or substitute. For lunch, I had steamed veggies with wild rice (lotsa carbs) and I ate my chicken as a sandwich for supper. Still ending the day with under 50 carbs. 5 days – a total of about 254 carbs – not too shabby! Especially considering I’ve eaten meals with more carbs than that.
