Day 50

50 days -- this seems celebratory somehow. I have not been without sugar this long in more than 30 years, probably 40. Why then, do I still want sweets? Or sweet things, rather. I baked three different kinds of sweet potatoes, and discovered that they spike my blood sugar unlike when I've boiled or steamed local varieties. This Beauregard sweet potato from the grocery store is wicked on my blood sugars. Apparently baking concentrates the natural sugar. I want to keep eating it for the sweet taste, but I have to avoid the blood sugar highs. Everything in moderation. . . .
