... coming out of my mini fast and while I'm not craving any right now (lovely) wondering about how dark chocolate affects joint pain with all the antioxidants.  It's sugar, yes?  Forgive my ignorance here, but simple wondering.  It'll be a different tour without dark chocolate.  Not impossible, just different.  Thanks for this.  I will take your challenge and join you in a sugar free week. So... no bites of Jenny's cakes then? Packing a small jar of powdered superfoods, too, to add to smoothies on the road. Oh, my gosh -- are we talking fruit sugar, too?

I'm all cool with fruit. The cakes and chocolate are off my list this week. Sleep is the highest priority for me pre-event this weekend, lots of water then away we go. Excited to dance in LA--even if it is in the corner of the ballroom, the hotel room or the lobby. So grateful for music and it's ability to be carried in the teeniest little pod packages, phones, computers and alarm clocks. No sugar just music and movement... and magic!

Deal on the sugar and the dance.  When?  I want to know when I can dance, too, to plot my fun on the edges of work.  Just sent off 50 invites to some of my friends to come to Hawaii for a Nia fest with you.  Hope that's cool. I have a few more that should know.  Can Bonnie let me in again or did I max out?

How about raw chocolate with no sugar?

What were you hoping I'd do here? (:

Aha! THAT'S what my joints have been yelling at me about lately. I know the 'candy at the movies' theory all too well, and Twizzlers and Good'n'Plenty in particular...it started in my long ago youth when I used to play hookey from school & study life according to Hollywood and Britain's Rank productions. Steevia as my sugar substitute and a great gum from my health food store as my candy placebo and finally a series of 6 weeks of acupuncture got rid of my sugar mania so well that I could even stand in line at the supermarket and look upon the candy and fake chocolate bars at the cash register the way I look upon 90 second microwave meals... until I heard that Braco eats chocolate and desserts. What a great excuse to give myself permission to have caramel macchiato every time I saw a Starbucks!! Got rid of that recently with a substitute caramel topping from a health food company, but my biggest sugar siren is ice cream...which MyGuy LOVES, so I can't keep it out of my kitchen. What I have to keep out of the kitchen it seems, is ME. lol I have at my elbow Marianne Williamson's book A Course In Weight Loss, which could easily substitute for A Course In Craving Loss...now all I have to do is USE it at least half as compulsively as I used sugar for many decades.:-) Thanks for the inspiration on Saturday the 28th! My joints thank you!
