Knock on Wood!

I am knocking on wood right about now because to my very happy surprise I haven't had but 1-3 hot flashes during the day for the last week. Usually I have a trillion per day, or it seemed like that.  But its been all good. Although, I still keep my little fan near me at all times and my cold drink glass is never less then half full it does feel good not to have needed them much these 7 days. I have been doing more on my stepper and trying to eat less sugar, OK besides those cupcakes that all the willpower in the world didn't work on. But, at the store yesterday I passed up the cake and doughnut aisles with pride. I got yogert instead.I figured it was a bit healthier and would tame my craving for something sweet. Although, that Carmel popcorn aisle did look pretty good. 

So, on the 4 th  of July while listening to the pop, pop, pop of the illegal neighborhood fireworks and firecrackers half the night and watching from the living room window the legal fireworks show at the marina instead of munching on something like a chocolatey goodness cupcake, I had some yummy strawberry and banana yogert. I was proud of myself.
