Yesterday's National Day's & Other Activity

So I was on Facebook last night and I saw what the national days were for yesterday and I thought, hey I can do this, at least two out of three. 1. National Relaxation Day - I had that one covered in spades 2. National Angel Food Cake Day - Nope - not eating sweets 3. National Wizard of Oz Day - YES! So I logged off the computer, found my copy of Wizard of Oz and enjoyed one good movie yesterday. So how about you? Did you get at least one of those yesterday? Just got back from grocery shopping. Had my handy grocery list with me so I would know what to buy and am loaded up on meat, turkey, eggs - 5 doz. box, lots of fruit and veggies. This time I figured it for more than a meal a day. Though I've been doing good on two meals a day, but when I bought the first round, I only figured it on one meal a day without realizing it. So I'm set for a little longer this time - I hope. I also realized this morning as I was looking at the label of the Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar drink - it's off the menu. It has 4 g. of sugar in it. Stevia, but still, sugar is sugar. I haven't bought any new and I haven't been drinking it very often, so I'm good. Not starting this diet over. Today is day 9. I also called the doctor's office this morning to up the dosage for the infusion tomorrow so it will last a full 8 weeks. I will hear back from them this afternoon to find out how that will all go. So that is what I've been up to yesterday and today. How about you? What's your news? Thanks for reading.

No, I did not of what listed, but those are "National" days, so I am excused. Stevia is a plant, it sweetens, but it's not sugar.

@just4him I never add sugar, there is enough hidden sugar in everything we buy, starting from sodas (that I do not drink), up to mustard and ketchup.

@LadyDuck Yes there is. I haven't used regular sugar in over a year. I never thought to look at what's in mustard. I don't have ketchup at the moment. Though I've had no reason to use it either. I haven't had soda in a very long time, going on a year.

According to the list of no-no's for this diet, it's still off the list. I don't miss any kind of sugar.

Actually I love all three of these national holidays. I can definitely get behind relaxation day. Love angel food cake but can't eat it. Have always loved the movie Wizard od Oz and any other movie with Judy Garland. You are being so good on your diet.

@Courtlynn They're good national days, even if all sites don't agree on the same thing.

Isn't it funny how we have to work so hard to lose weight, even spend more, yet gaining weight is easy as pie.

It sure tastes good going down, but one look in the mirror and you know it wasn't worth it. It would be nice if it was as easy to come off.

I am all about the food I am afraid and I love angel food cake, especially with strawberries.

Yes, with strawberries. Okay, I've now had my sugar rush for today and I haven't had a bite, just a trip down memory lane. I did have strawberries today though, fresh, so definitely unsweetened.

You were busy. Yesterday, I was sick out of circulation and today I went for blood tests. Very exciting.

Nope I didn't get to appreciate any of the things on your National Day list but I probably did squeeze in some relaxing in the later part of the evening. Didn't know that Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar has sugar in it.

I did a bit of relaxing when I got home from volunteering at the shelter. But no angel food cake and no Wizard of Oz. Finished reading another book in time for new books to arrive from the library later this week. Congratulations on doing so well with your new eating habits! You must be feeling so much better!

I am feeling much better. And the best part was no headache this morning. I hope that continues. Someone said that new diets can cause headaches. I don't know, but a lack of one is really nice.
