Adna - Thanks for the insight on sugar. I'm going to start to identify any big sources of sugar in my daily life. And see what I can remove to start with. I just noted that our coffee creamer is sugar free. My hubby always chooses sugar free creamer because the dentist told him to at least do that if he was going to drink coffee. OK, so my diet soda also has sugar in it. And probably my every-other-night ice cream....hmmm. Work in progress!
Chick - Sorry about the loved one's passing. No fun. I too have 'loads' of laundry to do. Sigh.
Mrsbee - good luck at the orientation!! One of these days hubby is going to come home to a fish. LOL. I would have to start very small though.
