I have been trying to cut back on my sugar consumption. I have surprised myself with how well I’m doing. I’m not cutting out all sugar, because that’s so much work. There are so many things that have sugar in them – things that don’t even taste sweet. What the heck?

What I’m attempting to do is stay away from desserts and from sugary snacks. I’m doing a pretty good job. But I chose a terrible time to start trying to do this. Parents are doing teacher appreciation at my school and almost all the wonderful treats they are bringing in for us are sweet.

There were some delicious-smelling cookies in my mailbox yesterday. After I smelled them, I gave them to some students. And in the teachers’ lounge, there are some treats still from last week:

Yikes! It’s all stuff I would normally chow down on. At least there were some salted almonds I could eat. Thank goodness!

I’m hoping that if I can sustain this, my waistline might show some improvement. Here’s hoping…

I like having salt with my boiled eggs. I usually eat in the living room, where I keep my salt shaker, but sometimes I quickly eat a boiled egg in the kitchen before going into the garage for exercise.

All I have in the kitchen is a salt grinder, so I grind a little salt on the counter top and dip the egg in it.

It’s a convenient spot, because it’s right above the dishwasher. When I’m done eating, I open the dishwasher door and sweep the salt inside.

I’m trying to eat less unhealthy food. Specifically, I’m trying to cut down on sugar. I can eat a serious amount of sugar and not be sick of it. But it’s really not good for me.

When I get hungry, there are a few things I try to keep from eating bad stuff. First, I eat flax. It’s not calorie free, but it is sugar free. Next is a boiled egg. No sugar there either. If I just can’t shake the craving, I do my low-sugar cereals. Right now I have Kix and Cheerios.

Will I keep this up? Is this even that big of a difference? I don’t know. But something is better than nothing, right?

Look out! There’s a monster right behind you! Haha! April Fools!

There’s a tamale place near my house that I’ve been wanting to eat at for a while. Last night I finally got carryout from there.

They were out of regular tamales, but they had a sort of open-faced tamale available. It was like an empty tamale that they split open and put some meat inside, then cover it with sauce and cheese and an avocado.

Mmm… It was so good. And so much food. I was stuffed.

Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day. I did not drink any green beer, as was my dad’s custom. I did find some corned beef though. I got it from the diner I eat breakfast at on Saturdays. It was really busy in there. I got carryout.

Mmm… salty meat… It was good.
