Too much Sugar!!

This time of year it is so hard to cut out sugar, especially with so many goodies to bake, school parties and cadies from Santa!  But I am really proud of us as a family.  So far we have been really good about not taking in too much, and a few of us have had to pay the price (with upset tummies) when overindulging.  I think that lesson has been learned the hard way!

I am trying to be realistic in our approach to limiting sugars.  I know that there will be slip ups.  I know that we are not going to cut out 100% of sugars, but we can definently try to cut out 80 - 90% and mostly artifical, corn syrups, and processed sugars.  Maybe I am wrong but, I don't mind so much the natural sugars, like those in juice, fruits, etc.

And let me tell ya, it is SO hard to find cereal with little to no sugar!!  J & I spent a good 20 minutes in the cereal aisle at Soopers the other day and could only find 1 brand, plain Shredded Wheat, with NO artificial or natural sugars.
