Hearty Habits #18: Giving Up Salt AND Sugar

Salt isn’t good for you and neither is sugar. It takes a strong woman to give both up and SP Bragg at Weary Parent has done it.
I gave up salt… but it sucks! Gave up sugar too… that sucks even more.
I can remember thinking when my blood pressure was going through the roof that how horrible it would be if I got diabetes like my mom…no salt and no sugar! Guess what!
So… veggies it is for the most part. But I did sneak in a 1/4 cup of my daughter Britt’s Skor Blizzard last time we went shopping. Actually it was my Blizzard, but I gave her 3/4 of it.
So all is not lost. Unfortunately, I could live on potato chips and Blizzards if I was allowed.
I could live on cakes and tea/coffee if I were allowed. Guess neither of us are in luck, SP!
