That's right it is FAT TUESDAY! Seana and I aren't Catholic but every year Seana chooses to take part in Lent... She gives up sweets... not just candy but Soda ... Hot Chocolate all those sugar filled items. Well this year I am going to give it up with her. Ever since I became pregnant I have developed quite the sweet tooth and its time to reign it all in.
Seana told me to figure out my rules to go by... and here we go.
For my lent, I will be giving up all sweets, all sodas and sweetened beverages. I am allowed to enjoy items that are naturally sweetened like fruit or fruit juice. I can use honey to sweeten food or drink items and the only sugar exception is a tablespoon of brown sugar with my oatmeal in the morning. My birthday falls during lent, so on the day I celebrate my birthday I am allowed to partake in dessert.
So that brings me to the events of today... I have made chocolate mint pudding to go with my grasshopper cookies and bag of twix, milkyway, 3 musketeers and snickers! I am going to top it off with a tasty Pepsi and a hot chocolate!
Mmmmm Mmmmm. My breastmilk will be extra sweet today!

LOL woohoo!
ReplyDeleteAgave nectar is another good, all natural alternative to sugar, and has the added benefit of being low on the glycemic no-no list for diabetics, since you don't get the sugar crash after.
ReplyDeleteI have had peanut butter M and M, a twix, a cadbarry egg and I am on the hunt for more.
