    I woke up feeling light-headed this morning, probably due to low blood sugar. I came really close to eating some toast, but Brian handed me an apple instead. Thanks for being supportive B!

    Every morning this week, the first thought in my head has been, I really want a bagel. The hardest part about giving up refined sugar is the no-bread aspect. Why is does there have to be sugar in everything?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Meet My Local Farmers
    When you know who produces your food, you are connecting personally to your complex regional food system. What are the advantages of knowing who produces your food and where it comes from? Do you think this might enable someone to advocate for a better quality of life for those who produce their food, both near and far?

    When you know who produces your food and where it comes from, you can support humanitarian practices, ecological practices, and local businesses.

    I never want to exercise in the evening, but I always feel better after I force myself to do it.

    For those quitting refined sugar, try out these sugar-free dressing recipes. I made the Italian one and it was excellent. I later saw the same dressing at the store for $$$ and was glad I made my own.
