Six years ago I had back surgery and up until a few months ago had been virtually pain free. All the flying and sleeping on airplanes hasn&#8217;t been very good for my back.<\/p>\n<p>Since the chances of needing another surgery is pretty high in my case I decided it was time to get serious and start going to the Y. Now, those of you who know me, know that while I&#8217;ve always been really active (you know chasing seven kids around) I&#8217;m not a big fan of working out. But going to the Y is much better than having my spine fused together, so I&#8217;m going almost every day.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also cut out soda (I know, again) and most sugar. You&#8217;ll see that I&#8217;m still making recipes that have sugar in them, but I&#8217;m hoping to slowly change some of those recipes to have less sugar over the next few months.<\/p>\n<h3>Breakfasts<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/files\/2012\/02\/Banana-Split-Baked-Oatmeal.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
