I am not a big dieter, never have been now that I think about it. But, as I am getting older I know that I need to start doing things to make sure my weight doesn't become an issue in the future. I was walking everyday after I took the boys to school, but have stopped since our stuff arrived from the US and I have a ton of work to do in the house. I pretty much get in all of my exercise just buzzing around this big house anyways or at least it feels that way in my legs. Now that I am getting settled again, I need to start my walk as I notice I feel much more relaxed and have more patience with the boys at night.
Anyways, the other day I was having tea with a friend. (We drink a lot of tea in Turkey!) I put one sugar cube in my tea and she was telling me how she watched a show about sugar and how if you have just one cup of tea each day with one cube of sugar what that equals up to in a year. Since I obviously have more than one cup of tea I can only imagine how much sugar I am consuming. So, my friend was encouraging me to try my tea without sugar. It's been 3 weeks now and I have sugar free tea and very little in my coffee each day and you know what? I think I am already feeling the benefits. It's amazing what a difference those extra calories make. My next resolution....more water!!

i agree with you; matt and i have started walking in the mornings again too and i love it!
and as of the sugar: yea, if you think of it, it's crazy how much sugar you can consume without even noticing... i stopped putting sugar in my tea and coffee when i was 16... (i only put sugar in coffee when it's really bitter, lol)
keep up the good work and keep us updated!
