What are you eating/doing today? Thursday.

Hi.  I make my sloppy joes without sugar.  I saute a whole onion and a few cloves of garlic in a little bit of olive oil.  The onion is what adds a sweet flavor without adding any sugar.   Then I add diced tomatoes, mushrooms, and tomato sauce and and italian seasoning to taste - or  - I use the no sugar added spaghetti sauce - this is usually placed on a bottom shelf in the grocery store by the sugar added products - really you have to look for it to find it.  Then I add the meat and sprinkle with cheese or parmasean. 

ah, so you make your own.  we just use the Manwich canned stuff. it is really good.  oh well

Yes.  I seem to be really sugar sensitive at this point (13 weeks out) so I do my best to eliminate all sugar.

Grad school!? Cool. What are you studying? 

Communications strategy. I am a writer now but I want to work up to being an executive editor--the person who decides what is written instead of the one that does the writing.

Couldn't post early because lunch was a wildcard at work-- but I can fill it in now! (I am off tomorrow, maybe I'll be around.) Walked a little before work but am just squeaking past spending about 2000 calories today so I gotta go spend some time with Hanoi Jane. Having MUCH hernia related pain from running Tuesday-- bad bad bad idea. No more running a while.
