Gulping sugar in the morning?
I‘m thrilled to announce the winner of $50 in my first post about water: Eight glasses a day.
Chosen by Random.org, the winner is… Martini Mom!
Today, please welcome blogger Dr. Leah, aka The Sanity Fairy with another chance for one of you to win $50!

Mornings used to find me starting the day with a glass of OJ — until I discovered how much sugar it has!
Have you also noticed that gulping sugar in the morning only makes you crave higher calorie food? This is why it’s so tempting to devour that sugary donut or a sweet roll to go with your coffee. These food choices are nutritionally empty calories guaranteed to pack on the pounds.
Yes, I’ve tried that “8 glasses of water a day” thing, too. It got old quick. (Wouldn’t it be great if coffee counted?) In fact, most other beverages, like soda with caffeine and alcoholic drinks, actually dehydrate you.
Supposedly, drinking water in the morning helps to clear your system and bring up your metabolism rate.
Here’s the truth: I’m a big fan of Crystal Light.
Sunrise has that natural orange flavor with no sugar. One big glass in the morning, and I get 100% of my daily Vitamin C — with only five calories. Even better, I don’t feel that sugary jolt.

Trusting men doesn’t come easy for me.
I’ve had my share of infidelity in relationships. Men have lied to me, and I was naive enough to believe them.
So, this Lucky Guy travels about once a month for work. During his first four-day trip out of state, I started to freak out. We’re talking obsessive thoughts here, the kind that go:
“Why didn’t he text me right back?”
“Is he flirting with anyone at the after-hours conference party right now?”
Yeah, I got all jealous and remembering these thoughts right now mortifies me. One time, when he called me during a business trip, he sensed my insecurity over the phone. I spoke in short, soft sentences. I could tell that he’d had a couple of drinks, which kicked up my anxiety of having been with an alcoholic.
“Love, don’t take this the wrong way,” he said, “but you’re being a little weird.”
It hurt to hear him say that — but it was true. What the heck was wrong with me?
Well, I’m not alone. As I work with clients at Match.com, this is one of the most requests from both men and women: “I hope to be with someone who’s loyal.”
