Plans for Today

December 3rd, 2006 at 07:05 pm

We are going to visit MIL and FIL today. I am packing along a beef potroast, potatoes, and broccoli and cauliflower to make for dinner so that I won't be tempted to go through the drive-thru and spend money later on. The last thing we need right now is to be putting that poison into our systems, what with everyone sniffly and all. I remember reading a factoid once that said something like for every teaspoon of sugar (or maybe tbsp) in your food, it reduces your immune systems ability to fight by 16% or something like that. So eating right during cold season is crucial.

So with this advance planning we should be able to make this a no spend day.

    Yeah, i've been trying to eliminiate the sugar in my tea, which i drink 2-3 times a day. I like it strong, tho, and it can be bitter wthout at least something. still working at it.

    yes, i have also read that refined sugar basically just ages your body, really not good at all.

    I used to get every cold that came my way. I cut out sugar last year on the South Beach diet and didn't get sick for a long time (until the sugar crept back into my diet). I recently cut out sugar again - then both my kids got sick. It used to be that I would be sick within a day of them, but this time I didn't even get a sniffle. Really makes you think...
