I am so thankful to be healthy and to have choices. Choice is a wonderful thing. Have you ever thought about how many choices you get to make in a day's time for yourself? Never take that for granted. It is a rare commodity for so many in this world.
I chose on Thanksgiving Day to eat sugar. A wonderful piece of apple pie. And the next day some homemade caramel corn. And I had a headache both times shortly after eating. And ached the rest of the day. I had forgotten about the aching. I used to ache every day when I was eating so much sugar. I rarely ache anymore since starting my 100 days without sugar.
Inspite of a week of good rich foods I am down another pound. That makes 9 in all. And I notice alot of it is the viceral fat around my waist that I so dispised and that motivated me to start this journey to begin with. I wonder how much more of it will disappear if I continue on my full 100 days?
Viceral fat is the wicked fat that is so bad for your heart and other organs. When we saw the BODY exhibit in Florida I was amazed at how our organs all fit tightly together like a wonderfully designed puzzle at the core of our bodies. And viceral fat snuggles all around them and does its damage. A good graphic reminder in my mind that I CHOOSE LIFE! Tomorrow is day 47 and the next, day 48..... Carry on.....
