Whoa!  Today my desire for sugar started to knock on the door!  It was cold and I wanted a hot chocolate when we were having some family time.  In the past, a sweet drink would be calming when the fam and I were enjoying some down time.  Also, it was a certain time in my […]

TO DO: After yesterday’s book (grin!), I’m keeping this simple today.  Keep tracking, reducing, sharing your story, and above all, take this seriously.  If you’ve fallen off, oh well.  Consider this your Day One and welcome back!  Your health is important to me.  Let’s solve your issue so you can live the big life that […]

Warning: Long post, personal story, but you’ll want to read this!!  Please take some time to do so! As I’m not eating nor wanting sugar, I’m starting to notice how it truly is everywhere.  I’m looking at what I CAN eat and sometimes that’s hard to find.  That said, it’s such an awareness now that […]

TO DO: Keep journaling and reducing AND tell someone about your Challenge!  I was with some friends and I told them proudly what I was doing and most of them replied, “Oh, I could never do that!  I want to, but could not do it.”  Of course you can’t…you just made up your mind not […]

For those that are doing this challenge from the get-go, today is the candiest day of the year….it’s Halloween!  If you have kids and they dress up to go out, WARNING: you will encounter sugar today!  Maybe you’ve cleared your zone to keep it out of sight, smell, and mind and that’s helped to keep […]

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 […]
