Sugar Wars: 30 Days Done

Mar 08, 2017 21:30

Today was sort of a weird day. I’d fully intended to get up and make pancakes and really just blow the whole thing out of the water, but we ended up going into Dublin, so I had a decent breakfast instead and headed in.

Had my beloved mint hot chocolate there, and thought “This is really very very sweet.” That was a kick in the pants. o.O

maybe its the mint part of the hot chocolate that is too sweet... perhaps just the chocolate part instead?

I have the same sort of feelings towards Cinnabon, I used to love their products but now, just smelling their shop is too much.

My mother had a really bad case of pneumonia last year, and when she got out of the hospital and the rehab place she hadn't had a cigarette in a couple of months, and found she didn't miss it at all. But, she's started smoking again, because she misses the rituals around it. Sigh.

FYI: we're already in Lent (day 9 of 46 today) as I know only too well coz I'm doing Lenten Sugar Wars and am in awe of you sticking 30 days already.
Which means you have a head-start on any Lent-related plans, at least!

These are posted two weeks behind what I'm actually doing. I figured one mention of Lent would go unnoticed. Guess that'll teach me.

Ooops, sorry. You probably would have got away with it but I am so very fixated on the forty-bloody-six days of Lent at the moment. (10.5 done, yay.)
Hope it's continuing to go well for you, anyay.

I dislike overly sweet hot chocolate, but have had good luck with the Lake Champlain brand. They only have mint during the winter holidays, but their Aztec flavor is excellent. It's still a little sweet for me, but I tolerate it because it's much easier than trying to mix my own flavored cocoa.

Cutting 100 calories a day is 10 pounds a year.

Could you substitute tea or something for the weekly hot chocolate, so you could keep the ritual without the sweets? Although tea really is nothing like hot chocolate.

I don't see any way in which a big truck with chains would be useful for this, or even a stump
grinder.
