Crystalline Fructose

So, this week, I was label reading on my favorite brand of yogurt, Mountain High Yogurt (buy it if you can...SO good!). It mentioned that crystalline fructose (the type used in their yogurt) has a lower glycemic index than high fructose corn syrup (a common sweetener). Here is a website with some great info:

Do you have any favorite "low glycemic index" foods?? I could sure use some suggestions :)

Sisters,

I thought I'd try to start the New Year out right and set some goals on eating better. I'm trying to cut back on my sugar, milk and simple carbs (ie. grains). So far, at only a week into it, I haven't been very successful. I'm a stress eater. When life is stressful I tend to eat sweets and such. Do any of you have an suggestions on what to do instead of eat? I'm a little worried that at the end of this life crisis I'm going to weight 200 pounds.

Not a fun thought.

The weather was sunny today. Lots of snow melted and me and the kids went for a long walk. It was so good to be outside.

Have a good night.

On a cold day...

Dear Sisters,

I made soup for supper.
Yum.
I love soup on a cold day.
Tonight it was chicken noodle.
Thick hearty chicken noodle soup with homemade whole wheat bread and butter.
It was so delicious.

I had a healthy day. No treats. I'm proud of myself.

How was your day? What did you make for dinner?
