Weekend Challange

So sorry this is a day later than I meant for it to be but I had a serious headache last night and typing was the last thing on my mind.
Did anyone do the soda challange last week? If you did I would love to hear about it. Sodas are a major source of empty calories in the US and even those diet sodas are doing nothing but harming you. Did you know that both HFCS and artificial sweeteners can keep you from feeling full. This is why you drink more of it and eat more when you are eating junk food. If you could just cut one thing out this would be the thing to cut out!!!!
This weekends challange is about bread. If you are like me when the weather starts to get nice it means picnics and grilling out. Now I'm not going to sit here and tell you no carbs and all that. If that is what your doctor has said please do it though and of course if you are gluten free this doesn't apply. For the rest of us check those labels. Lots and lots of bread products out there have HFCS in it along with partially hydrogenated oils and a list of other chemicals pretending to be food. Yes the stuff that doesn't have that in it is more expensive so eat less of it if you will. Since we have some allergy issues in our family I actually had to pay $3 something for hamburger buns. It hurt me to do so but I trusted the product and would have it no other way. Also I make a great deal of my own bread and most of it is super easy, cheap, and taste better than anything you will find on the shelf. If you have questions about bread making I would be glad to answer them.
I want you to remember your health and your children's health is worth it!!! It is worth spending a little more time, money, and preperation. I really think you can do it without spending any more than you normally do by making your own food and the things you don't make stocking up when they are on sale.The bottom line is you can pay for it now or you can pay the doctors and pharmacy companies later, your choice!
