Sugarholic

The good thing about doing a triathlon is that it's made me ambitious to improve my life in other ways.

I think I need to lick this sugar habit I've had practically all my life.  I need to cut out all those cookies, cakes, chocolate bars, etc. etc. etc. that I indulge in all the time.

I'm going to start this at the end of the month...partly because it's the six-month anniversary of when I started exercising daily, May 30th.  It will be an easy date to remember.

As of November 30th--no foods that have more sugar than a croissant or 6 ounces of a typical fruit smoothie, or toast with a thin layer of jam.  No more cookies, cakes, ice cream, and so forth, for at least a year.  After that, only on special occasions--once a month at the most.

I did this once before, about ten years ago.  And the funny thing was, once I got going with it, it wasn't all that hard.  It just became a habit like any other.

I have to hope that it will be as easy a transition this time.  Anyway, I know it's one I desperately need to make.
