TO DO:  Focus on your mind set.  Your journey is all about your mind set.  I have a feeling that some people may have fallen off or are thinking of throwing in the towel because maybe they’re not getting “results” by now.  Did you know that it takes tons of time for your body to […]

You’ve passed the one week mark!! For me on day eight now, I’m feeling more energy and also more confidence because I’ve proudly made it this far without any white sugar.  I was not eating tons, but for my goals I was allowing more in that I should have.  Work your plan, let go of your […]

One week in…..celebrate and be PROUD!  You’re still here and you’re getting this conquered!  That says a lot about you!  As you know, I started this challenge a week ahead of everyone and I’m writing this on my day seven.  I will say that day six was tricky.  I was at a family event with […]

TO DO: This is one of those days where there’s nothing new to do but to just keep “practicing” journaling and reducing/cutting out your sugar.  I say that because it takes time, day in and day out, to keep the focus.  If you want to improve your health and fitness, you have to realize that […]

TO DO:  -Journal your sugar intake  -Start journaling how you’re feeling, both physically and mentally.  Are you feeling better physically?  Sleeping better?  Craving anything? Grouchy, frustrated, or anxious?  Is this easy, hard, or no big deal?  Paying attention now to how you feel will likely keep you on track because I’m guessing you’re feeling better […]

TO DO:  Keep journaling your sugar intake, your findings of “mystery” sugars you didn’t know existed (like 100% whole wheat breads, pasta sauces, Wheat Thins, salad dressings, etc.).  Keep working towards your sugar goals.  Try dropping one more sugar item than you did yesterday or even plan for that one item per day if you’ve […]

(Warning…a little bit of read and watch today.  But you’re worth it!) We had a fire pit last night and our kids enjoyed some s’mores.  Within 10 minutes, they were bouncing off the walls, and one literally out of control.  I’m just SO intrigued and driven by how much “sugar” truly affects our behaviors, mindset, […]

TO DO:    -Be honest!  You’re still journaling what you typically eat daily and this will only work if you’re truly honest to you.  Eating it and not writing it down doesn’t mean it didn’t happen! Record it and be willing to face the facts….it will be ok!     I was recalling a time in the […]

You’ve chosen to take this challenge because you’re looking for change!  This is not a diet or a list of what to eat, but rather a challenge for you to focus on your sugar consumption for the next 21 days.  There may not be something new to do every day, but just making a commitment […]

I saw a gal make a post recently about how she had cut back her sugar intake, felt better, and in her words, her “muffin top was starting to disappear.”  It got me thinking about how much (hidden) sugar is in a good majority of the foods in our society.  So I started snooping around […]
