New year, new goals

Two days ago I went and got a membership at the Y. Yesterday I went swimming there, then lounged in their hot tub. It was wonderful! Comparing the Y to the health club to which I used to belong, the Y comes on top, to my surprise. The pool is longer and deeper, the hot tub is nicer, the locker room is better equipped, and the staff is super

I tried a couple of times to get rid of refined sugar in my diet. After about two weeks or so it would actually hurt my stomach if I ate anything too sugary. And, for a long time after that, drinking even half a can of soda would be too much. (I think lately I can drink a whole can, but that is mostly due to desperation of beverages combined with the lack of choices in the building on campus.)

I guess the trick is to keep it so once your stomach does hurt to not overload it anymore, so that you can keep that signal.

I'll do my best to keep away long enough to truly wean myself off the stuff. :o)

I have such a terrible addiction to sugar, too. I have such a hard time staying away from it. I made it my goal to stay away from sweets. I have to stay away from them. Too bad we don't live close by each other. We could start up our own little support group!

That would be great, wouldn't it?

The Y is so great. I haven't been using my membership lately, but only because I've been so distracted by the looking for a job and then getting the job and then adjusting to the job. You're inspiring me to put my $36 per month to use!

I was pleasantly surprised by the Y, though I don't know why I expected anything less.
