Note on 7th day of no-sweet-n-low: Yesterday I didn't feel my stomach be so upset like it was the day before. I seems like it did get queasy, though, after my morning coffee. In fact, I was thinking about skipping my afternoon coffee, but didn't. My stomach felt fine doing a double weight lifting work-out, but I didn't run yesterday.

Note on picture: My husband is the bomb! Forget Blue Bunny Bomb Pops. I came home from the gym last night to the smell of cooking soup. He made this "Brat Soup" for a "Soup-A-Thon" for work today. This recipe actually came from a church cook book that was given to me from the people I worked with in honor of our wedding engagement. This brat recipe was actually created by an older gentleman. I know because I had a few questions about the recipe and called him up, and his wife handed the phone to him. Suffice it to say, that I think this proof that brats are a guy thing. And a Wisconsin thing. This is 1/2 cup with a little cheese sprinkled on top. I estimated about 85 calories.

Added note: I will post the recipe today some time.
