Wow I can't believe that I am almost halfway through this challenge. While I am not sure how much it is doing for my weight and strength I am really enjoying it. I vowed that I wouldn't weigh or measure till the end of this journey so all I have to judge my progress is the way I feel when I look in the mirror. If you have ever struggled with the way you look you know how hard it is to see yourself the same way every day. As a hypoglycemic I have had some issues with the diet but posted to Dustin Mahar and he responded quickly. Which is good because obviously with my health on the line I can't do everything 1100% the way I would like. He is going to look at what i have been eating and see what he can do to help :O) If you are interested in finding out more about this challenge or any other programs check out http://www.dustinmaherfitness.com/
Most hard candies call for corn syrup, but since I was out and I have 3 children home I decided to experiment and make something fun! Here is what you need:
2 Cups of Sugar
2 Cups of Water
1 Package Sugar Free Jello
A candy Thermometer
Making candy is a pretty tricky process and trust me I messed up a batch or two getting this to work right.lol Put the sugar and water into the pot and turn on medium whisking well till the sugar is dissolved. Stirring pretty regularly to help the sugar from burning. As the sugar begin to boil turn the heat up to high. Watch your thermometer when the candy reaches 230 pour in the jello continuing to mix. Pour this mixture immediately into a cake pan that is lined with parchment paper of you can rub a little veggie oil in it. The candy will continue to cook as it melts anything over 230 you will be left with a burnt candy that tastes like licorice.lol After you candy is cooled completely turn it out onto a cookie sheet and break apart :O) I like to dust mine …
