As of this post, I have 100% of my points for the week. I already knew that a whole "sugar day" could be tricky (and yet lovely at the same time - sigh). Yesterday was mine. The day ended at a dance with a smorgasbord of sugar. Seriously, all the things I love (okay, there wasn't ice cream) on a three buffet long refreshment table. The happy ending to this story is that I had a little of each and then decided that I had worked far too hard this week to blow it all in one night.

This next week poses a higher curve. But, 'never say die' is my mantra. I totally lucked out on Priceline with the hotel we are in. They have an exercise room. So I'm taking my exercise instructor daughter down with me each morning. My friend and teammate Mary Ann and I also talked and laughed that I could run around the restaurants for 15 minutes while the boys ate inside during the travel part of this week. I've done crazier things - and am quite competitive.

My 'cool foods that help' today is Extra sugar free 'dessert' gum. It helps you not put things in your mouth while you are preparing Thanksgiving dinner, the mint ice cream and key lime pie flavors are yummy, you can chew it in the car while you travel, and you won't have iguana breath while chewing.

Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
