Just ate too many nuts - but as far as dietary sins I guess that is not to bad. I will just run more tonight.

I also read a very interesting article on CNN that referenced a NIH study regarding sugar. The study points to the fructose component of sugar as being particular bad for our health. I have never been on the ban all High Fructose Corn Syrup bandwagon, but reading this article makes you stop and think. My diabetes also makes me think that maybe if I had not eaten so much sugar in the past that I would be much better off. Regardless of your stance on High Fructose Corn Syrup, I think most here would agree that the less the sugar the better. The article and study (that I will try and post links for below) just give me one more reason to avoid sugar for me and my family.

On a happier note - tonight is a run night and the weather has cooled somewhat in Texas.

Have a great evening - keep doing the right things
