My husband gave up sugar...(I hope he reads this)

My husband, in his pre-Kristin days, was very disciplined when it came to working out and eating healthy.  He never ate ice cream.  I know.  He didn't eat chips.  He didn't eat candy.  Good thing I came along, right??  I fill the cupboards and the freezer with sweets.  And throw off all his plans of healthy living.

He told me, a week or so ago when I was lamenting about my marshmallow issue, that he doesn't eat sugar anymore.  I know.  This was brand new information.  I have no intention of (EVER) giving up sugar.  I require at least 3 desserts a day (one after lunch, one for an afternoon snack, and one before bed).  He'll be in for a rude awakening upon his arrival home.  I have candy strategically hidden throughout the house. 

About a year ago, I started drinking almond milk.  Not sure why.  Just did.  Vanilla, sweetened almond milk.  It makes every bowl of cereal taste like dessert.  Scrumptious.  Once in a while, I've bought plain almond milk; to just drink, to cut with skim milk, to use in smoothies.  Whatever.  I like to have an almond milk and a regular skim milk in the fridge in order to feel complete and comfortable in my milk options. 

Last week, the store was out of vanilla, sweetened almond milk.  So I bought vanilla, unsweetened thinking it wouldn't be a big deal.

Dude.  NOT the same thing.  Not even close.

It tasted like tears or something.  But I sucked it up.  And I ate it with my cereal until it was gone.  And then I picked up the sweetened variety.  Because apparently I need x amount of sugar to get through the day. 

This is what I've been eating for breakfast.  A cup of Special K with red berries, a handful of silvered almonds, and a handful of craisins.  Topped with almond milk.  Or not.  That mixture is actually pretty tasty eaten trail mix style.  I usually eat it that way as a pre-gym snack.

The only reason I'm showing you this is because this is what I was eating when Scott told me he had given up sugar.  I thought, "Well, apparently, I've cut down on it.  I'm using UNsweetened almond milk, after all."

No need to mention that I have no intention of ever buying it again.

Do you ever give up sugar?  Do you and your significant other differ in your opinions of healthy living?  Scott and I are pretty much on the same page when it comes to the importance of exercise, water, fruits, and vegetables.  I just like to buy ice cream and bake stuff.  He doesn't.
