Sugar Intake

I started by measuring the amount of sugar I was actually putting in my coffee in the morning. Even though I thought I was just sprinkling in a little bit, it turned out to be more like a half a tablespoon. Now I measure a teaspoon of sugar for my coffee. I plan to continue for a few weeks and then cut it back to a half a teaspoon. Eventually I hope to eliminate putting any sugar in my coffee at all. I think it's more of a habit than anything because I drink my tea without any sugar and always have done so. I also put brown sugar on my oatmeal in the morning. I reduced the amount I have been putting on and as soon as the brown sugar is gone, I'm going to switch to maple syrup for my oatmeal.
