Day 32...Count Sugar not Calories?

SO I was watching Rachael Ray the other day. Not I wasn't cheating on Paula Deen, who I love! She had a weight loss show so I had to watch. On this show they had a nutritionist on there who was talking to a women who had hit a plateau and was wondering how she could lose that last little bit. She showed what she was eating and although it would say fat free or those great 100 cal packs they have tons of sugar in them. So he says forget counting calories and count sugar grams! Really? Could I do that? He says you shouldn't have more than 15 grams of sugar a day. Wow that's not a lot at all. So although I am not about to quit counting my calories I think that I will watch how much sugar is in it a little bit more. Also he said for a snack have some berries (they have the least amount of sugar) with some redi-whip. Sounds good to me!

At the beginning of the week I talked about how we were going to cut out the precessed foods for dinner. Hows it going? Freaking fantastic! John is cooking a lot more again too. He is doing really good and his in an excellent cook. Only set back we almost had was John almost grabbed the tub of butter when making the fajitas last night. As soon as I saw it I jumped on him (said I was sorry after) and told him to break out the olive oil instead. Then after it was done and was delicious he saw that you don't always have to use butter to have flavor! This is a lot easier than what I thought it would be. I just hope that soon we can be process food free...well one day anyway.

I am happy to announce my sister is still doing great with her pregnancy. She had another sonogram today that confirmed she is having a boy and he is 2lbs 9oz right now. Her delivery date is still April 26th and if you ask me that is the greatest 40th birthday gift she could have ever asked for. She makes me laugh though because she is always making sure any little thing she feels that she hasn't felt before she will call me to make sure it's normal. I remember that when I was pregnant for the first time and all those weird things that happen to you and your body. I have no problem putting her mind at ease and I can't wait to be a Aunt. Planning the shower is a bunch of fun too!
