Not a bad 2 days…
Yesterday was the start of our getting back on track.. It was a … CHAD day! Ouch.. Ouch.. is all I have to say. He sure can work a person sore!! LOL! My calories were on track for burning and eating for both Monday & Today! So far, so good. I was even able to get in some Homemade icecream! It’s a darn good thing it’s only 150 calories!
I’ve been taking the dogs on walks each eve… This will sound odd.. but have found some really pretty pictures of Weeds! I’ll have to start posting them! For now.. I just need to get the hang of blogging , and exercising.. and getting back to consistency in all aspects of Life!
Today, I spent most of it at the Stable. I had a horse lesson, and then Lunch with Vicki & Sally. Of course, we then had to yack a bit, and work on setting up Vicki’s blog for Horse training. Once we get it set up, I’ll share it with everyone!!
I’ve been reading allot about High fructose Corn Sugar.. Does anyone know much about this? I was looking for products and was having a hard time finding anything that didn’t contain it…

High Fructose Corn Syrup is something I am passionate about right now!! We have been HFCS free for a little over 2 months. It is very hard to find things without it, but I am finding more and more products are coming aboard the fight against it. Recently I found Log Cabin Syrup is HFCS free and now Hunts Ketchup. The one product I have found that is the most difficult is BREAD!! Earth Grains and Pilgrims Pride are the new choices in our house. Hot Dog and Hamburger Buns are the MOST difficult. The Cheap store brands contain it. Anything that is 100% Organic HAS TO BE HFCS FREE!! It took a few trips to the store reading ALL the labels to know what I was looking for.
I am now on a crusade to find store bought Jams and Jellies that do not have HFCS….. the only ones I have found where name Brand Organics, and it was AWFUL, lol……I am starting a blog about my family’s journey in avoiding High Fructose Corn Syrup. and As I find products I am going to list them. =0)
I’ve started looking for things that are HFCS free. And it’s really really hard to find some! I’ll keep working on it.
I try to stay away from it as much as possible! It’s definitely bad for you. But like Amy & April said, it’s hard to find things without it – I still let the kids eat a lot of things with it in it, because it’s almost impossible to afford snacks that don’t have it.
