The past 4 days have not been the best. Saturday morning I started to feel queasy and the thought of food was not appetizing. I stuck with Sprite and eventually on Sunday moved to rice then Ramen on Monday. Today I had a normal breakfast but my lunch of just shelled pumpkin seeds tasted good but I'm back to queasy again. It's very strange.

My February goals are to get back on track with my eating plan, eat more veggies, and spend 3 days this month sugar free and Blog about it.
Not sure why but I can't stop thinking about chicken especially dipping chicken fingers. I also want to slurp spaghetti and crunch into a potato chip. I have allowed only the chicken fingers because it's so random and so persistent.
As of January 13th I reached 6 months in and 6 months to go on my decision to avoid certain foods for a year, woot woot!
The more water I drink the easier it is to drink. When I stop it's hard to "make" myself drink for some reason. 48 ounces a day this time of year is a good amount for me.

When visiting offer to bring or prepare a meal. It's a great way to manage food decisions and your host will probably appreciate the gesture as well.
I'm really wondering about my sugar intake. Am I addicted to sugar? I know I don't consume as much as some people (I rarely to never drink any soda and desserts are a treat.) Still lately I notice I eat sweets more than I used to (ice cream often with fudge sauce, 1 teaspoon in morning coffee, chocolate whenever it's offered, lots of pie over the holidays). I don't think I have a deep problem but I don't want to develop one either. I'm thinking about taking the 3 day sugar cleanse shared here:

It says less than 15 grams of sugar per serving is OK. I'm gonna start by reading some labels. I'm presuming it's ok to eat fruit, I love an apple in my lunch and berries on my oatmeal.
