Last night I went out to a local festival that my town is having this weekend. It's "The Corn Festival". I had a free weekend pass, so I thought "why not, DH is in Cincinnati at a business dinner", and so off I went to the festival.

I looked at some crafts and the quilts and talked to a lot of people. I got a buttered ear of corn to eat, and some french fries.

I walked around a little bit more...watched the egg throwing contest and decided to head home. Before I left I thought to myself "I want a funnel cake or maybe some cotton candy". I choose the cotton candy and I ate the whole bag while I was walking out!

Now, I don't really feel bad about it. I mean, it's a one time thing and it was sort of the "right" place to have it. But I can feel that sugar today. My stomach feels yucky; I itch. Luckly, I don't feel like I'm about to binge. I was worried that it might set it off.

So, today I'm pouring in the water. Got to get this sugar out of my system. I already have a big salad planned for lunch with lots of cucumbers and green peppers in it.

How's everyone else doing today?

Yesterday was my "reward" day also. I have also cut out refined sugar significantly and treated myself to a piece of cake that came with a plate of our church's bbq. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be.. a little dry.. LOL. I did manage to eat a healthy dinner though and felt I kinda evenend everything out. I was proud of myself for one thing though. I had to get a passport pic made at our Wal-Mart and you wouldn't believe it but they have a Krispy-Kreme store there. I was looking at the doughnuts coming hot off the conveyer! It was so tempting, but I held my ground. That is a tremendous accomplishment b/c in the past I would have went in there and got two or three doughnuts and not think twice a bout it. I am new to TOPS but have already made alot of positive changes in the eating habits. I hope.. no I know Iwill be able to accomplish any goal I set my mind to. All of us WILL!!!!!!!
