O.D. on sugar!

This weekend was Sarah's birthday and David and I got to go on a date.  So, the one dessert a week thing kinda flew out the window.  David and I each had a soda and some pie on our date.  We noticed how super sweet the pie and the soda were.  Usually I guzzle soda.  But, this time I had one glass and that was more than enough!
And the Pie, was just a small slice, but I felt like it was sickeningly sweet. bleck!
Sarah's birthday was filled with sugar.  Cake, Ice Cream and pancakes with syrup.....Can we say sugar overload.  And I felt it too.  Monday, I felt a little depressed, not as much energy and I wanted more sugar.
I'm glad we are making the change to lessen our sugar intake.  It has been interesting to see how much sugar affects us and how much I really don't need it.
