Ohhh…yes, we have the syrup. I thought they also came in granules.

I don’t ever drink milk unless it’s in something, like a latte. Sorry about the skim milk.

@Barb, i would have to get used to skim milk again, that’s all i used to drink and now i can’t put it in anything. sigh.

here is what the agave sugar looks like, it’s kind of like honey:

@Robin, I usually take my coffee black, unless it’s from Dunkin’ Donuts, in which case I order a medium with cream and 3 Equals, though I haven’t lately because I think the cream irritates my digestive system. Wouldn’t a “skinny” iced vanilla latte have fewer calories?

Did the agave sugar come in packets like Equal, or a big bag, like sugar?

I thought i was reading my own post for a while there. Allergies way out of whack and between that and PMS my sleeping was non existent for a while there.

I’m just learning all about GI and GL in foods and love agave. I found an agave syrup that you can use in place of maple (high fructose) syrup and it’s delicious. I sure wish we had a trader Joe’s near by.

I finally took a few days and didn’t nap , exercised, and took a sleep aid to slowly get my sleep schedule back on track. It’s normal now, and I feel much more sane =)

@Barb, I’m glad you got to try it. I used a little bit of the agave sugar in my coffee but i am SO picky about my coffee so that i rarely am ever happy with it. the only coffee i ever seem to be happy with is starbucks iced vanilla latte. but it tastes nice and sweet, i thought it was pretty cool but i plan to use it for something other than coffee before i make my decision.

Brian picked up some of the TJ’s yogurt this weekend, and it is yummy! A lot better than plain yogurt but also not too sweet. They do carry it in nonfat.

Let us know how you like the agave sugar. Although I use the syrup for oatmeal, I use Equal on grapefruit. Maybe when this package is out I’ll make the switch.

Remember, too, that when you clean house and vacuum and all that, your allergies are going to be a little bit worse before they get better.

As for your bike rides, you know I’m pulling for you! (((hugs)))

I love those low key kind of weekends too! We have a couple of busy weekends coming up, so I tried to really enjoy just hanging out with the family.

Do you know that I haven’t been able to find greek yogurt? I’m going to keep looking. We only have Kroger and Wal-Mart for grocery stores, and they don’t have the best selection of anything.

I hope you are able to get some better rest this coming week. Take care.
