Sugar Fast

So, I've been off sugar for about two and a half weeks, well... junk sugar that is. I still eat some things with a little sugar in them like orange juice and raisin bran. It's kind of an experiment more than anything. I usually eat a stupid amount of sugar so I was just wondering what would happen it I stopped. Not much yet. Maybe a little more energy... maybe. The hardest thing for me is putting equal or splenda in my coffee- uhhhh- it's just not the same. And I never feel full because I'm used to topping off all my meals with something sweet, so I find myself eating a meal, then looking for something else, and so on. I'm really looking forward to sugar again- I would like to say that I'm over the hump but I can't. Soon enough I'll be back off the wagon- about three weeks.

Like a Virgin

Ok, description of the blog title. I've been reading and enjoying some friends blogs lately: Musings, The (s)WheatSpot, Westification, and while soaking in their thoughts on life and God I felt that maybe I should contribute to the "discussion" (more for my edification than for anyone else's.) Although it became blatantly clear to me that my friends are all strong to quite strong in the area of writing and I would consider myself quite weak, hence "Second Rate Thoughts." Here is the problem with my writing: I don't have much to say. I think this will be rather hard to overcome but in order to become a more interesting, and even spiritual person I feel I have to try.
