have been

reading a lot about Dextrose....
I went all nuts when I watched the guy from nzsugarfree.co.nz and immediately purchased an ice cream maker as I thought like he does...that I cant live without icecream.I got some dextrose from Binn Inn today and went to make it not realising you had to freeze the bowl first for 24 hours.So I decided to make his brownie recipe while I waited for it to freeze.I dont usually like mixtures and this one seemed a little bitter...Im not sure if its the cocoa powder or the dextrose.Anyway I'm a bit annoyed at myself for thinking I have to quickly replace sugar with something.I should have just waited to see ow it went - but I do LOVE ice cream.Hopefully it doesnt taste bitter or Ill have another kitchen appliance clogging up the pantry.
Im going for a walk soon but Im a bit lethargic agaiN although Ive been great today.Went out for coffee - and had just that!!!Whilst all around me had cake..........go me!!!!

oh my

yesterday seemed a breeze but today was tricky.........I've been pretty lethargic.I am just pleased that its the school holidays.I did go for a 5 km walk and got soaked.....
I am spending my time reading up a lot on people who are sugar free - lots of FB sites etc.....
I had pasta for luch - it was Italian and under 5g sugar...maybe that was why I nose dived this afternoon....
Oh well onwards and upwards(but hopefully not outwards)

Let the fun begin.........

Here I am at 96kgs and having just turned 46!! That is my full term pregnancy weight with my baby who will be 10 in June.
This will be my online keeping-it-real journal.
Today I have started to eliminate sugar from my diet - anyone who knows me will know my obsession with sugar.
I'm going to post regularly - its hard when its not school holidays but I'm determined to put me first for the remainder of the year to sort this obesity problem.Wish me luck :)
