Aug. 6th, 2009 09:51 amWell, I'm still having more soda than I ought to (like any) and I've not succeeded in cutting sugar too terribly well thus far (though somewhat, at least in the sense of general carbs and in moving what sugar consumption I do have up in the day), but I'm still making progress. As of this morning, I'm back down the 2 pounds and change that I'd crept up -- and I know 2 lbs is flux weight as much as anything else, but my size 16 jeans, which were a skoshi bit tight, are back to comfortable again. If I keep it up, I should continue to see progress. Yay me. :)
I need to get back to exercising again. I need to get back to the gym. I need to get serious about cutting out soda again. I think, however, that I'm going to give myself a break on the soda quitting until after GenCon, because honestly... well, it's not going to last through the trip/con anyway. The airplane ride alone with sink me. I'll keep it in check for now as much as I can and try to limit what I have so it won't be too hard to quit, but I'm doing that anyway.
Oh, and oatmeal brownies are awesome. I think I want to tweak the recipe a bit and put some more oats in it, and it would be interesting to try making them without using refined white sugar/using less refined white sugar/ changing over to a more South Beach friendly sweetener, but I think I can do it. More experimentation is evidently called for, AND I'm getting the cooking bug again. Go me. That'll be super helpful moving forward.
Also, go me for making a pan of brownies and not having the desire to have more than one in a serving. I rock.
