My Addiction
I don’t drink coffee – never have. Not ever – I had my first coffee at 39 and didn’t like it. I don’t smoke – too expensive and unhealthy. Coka-Cola is my drug of choice. I am addicted to sugar and it is SO BAD FOR ME! I drink far too much of the stuff.
I don’t make resolutions about food, drink, diet, or exercise because I believe it is setting myself up for failure and disappointment. However, in the wee hours of this morning Glamma & I both agreed to try to cut down on our sugar intake. I said I’d try to drink only ONE can of coke a day. He’s cutting back on chocolate bars and there will be far less sugar in his coffee. We agree we will admit if we cheat and then give each other pep talks. This is not about a new year: it’s about treating our bodies better. If we stumble: there will be NO lecture. We will simply start over the following day: the buddy system.
I recommend this to anyone who wants to meet a fitness goal – PHONE A FRIEND!
This photo is of the ONE coke I had today. Ususally 4-5. I won’t lie – I want another and may cave before the final 5 hours of today are over. Still – I did better than I have in months. It’s a start

the easiest thing for me to give up – MEAT! the most difficult was SUGAR…!!!
so here i am again at the threshold of deleting sugars from my diet. this means NO dr. pepper – oh horrors – i shall do it. yipes!
i am not alone in this quest of eliminating mostly crap from my diet – but it is a challenge and one i fully intend to master. lately i have been aching in my joints and being very uncomfortable – knees – shoulders, et al. i had an epiphany the other day as i remembered when i eliminated sugar before – my body – became nearly pain free. so in the interest of achieving better health – and as i enjoy being without pain – i must bid the good dr. a fond adieu… crapola gone – lets see how i feel in a week – i trust more energy and well – better in general – as it were.
we should remember that the journey of 1,000 miles begins with but a single step. so here we all embark on the particular journey. i wish us all well. so take care and be safe. thanks for being…
blessings…palestar
