Another Effort Found

There is at least one other individual doing the same thing we are. Above is a link to her web site. Check it out. There are some good links to other blogs about living healthy, and some cool exercise video. Ray and Cindy will love the ideas they get from watching the video. She is a real personal trainer. Ray, we need to get you some vids up on the net.

Splenda Website

Just found a new website! It has some great information regarding maintaining a sugarless lifestyle. Check it out, I am keeping it and any other useful sugarless web resources listed below the header. If you have a site that would be useful e-mail it to me or Cathy, Iwill post it for others to use too.

Members Caught Red Handed With Candy

Cathy Daly was caught with a 2 1/2 pound tin of Almond Roca today. She "says" that she received it as a gift on her first day back from Christmas break. She also named another NSIJ club member who was in possession of a similar can of the prohibited refined substance. Further investigations into this matter may reveal a distraught sugar deprived Mrs. Daily and a secret trip to the Rose Hill Costco during her prep.... more to follow on King 5 at 9:00pm. All we can hope for is that she did not give into her cravings for Sugar. We are with you Cathy, be strong!

Members Report Trying Moments

Here is BB's recent brush with sugary treats

The thing that gets me is how sugar is jumping out at me, practically calling me by name and it's everywhere! Went to the vets, there is a canister of cookies to the right when you walk in and when you pay, now it's on your left but still in your peripheral vision, stopped off at the bank, suckers right there at the teller where I'm making a deposit. I'm sure she thought I had a tick as my eyes constantly ticked to the left to eye ball the candy, small red and purple suckers, white sticks I thought said "Becky's" but I was I believe in a delusional state of mind or I'm hearing voices, part of the sugar withdrawal I think. Good Lord, sugar is everywhere and it's looking for me but I remain strong so far...

I did talk to my vets about removing the cookies prior to my arrival and they said they would try to remember and help. But just in case, next time when I arrive I do plan to call them from the parking lot and ask that the cookies be removed, for the sake of all of us and for their own personal safety because I can not guarantee where this no sugar body will take me.

True Confessions

This is your opportunity to come clean and confess if you have had that weak moment. There are reports that some of the NSIJ members had a weak moment and actually watched the Sugar Bowl. When questioned, one member replied that it was ok to look at sugar, you just can't eat any sugar for the month of January. Stay strong and sugar free.

Sugar Alert

Found SUGAR where you would never have guessed it was.... in a can of black beans. No, I am not kidding NSIJ members, the proof is in the pictures below. Be diligent and alert for that vile substance to appear where you least expect it! It will creep into your diet unsuspectingly and ruin your efforts to be free of sugar for the entire month of January.

No Sugar Day 2

Here are a couple of pictures of my dog Jake the one eyed wonder dog.

Cindy and I went and saw Marle and Me with our neighbor Julie who also happens to be a member of NSIJ. We all cried and nobody brought tissues.

No candy was consumed at the movie. The popcorn was avoided too. Have a great sugar free day today.

NSIJ

Welcome to the blog dedicated to No Sugar In January. So far there are several dedicated resolutioners swarming to the newest guru of health and fitness, Ray, Taunty Ray, or B-Ray if you include her husband Brian. Just wanted to get a blog started commemorating the begining of our effort to support one another in maintaining a sugarless lifestyle in January of 2009.

Our theme song is No Sugar Tonight by the Guess Who....go figure.

The sugarless Librarian Julie has suggested that we play Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard in February as a way to celebrate a month without sweets. Possible Thermidorian Reaction to the tyranny of a sugarless January.
