Sugar Detox Report

It's May 6 and I still haven't had a Dr. Pepper (or any other soda) or any desserts, treats, candy, etc.  After eating like crap in March, my goal was to go the whole month of April without any sugar.  I realize that lots of foods have sugar in them (like ketchup) and I did not cut those out.  But I did cut out everything else, like cinnamon rolls for Steve's birthday, homemade oreos from a dessert auction, and s'mores at a family dinner to name a few.   

I'm so glad I did this challenge. It was a good test of willpower, and I feel like it was kind of a reset for my body.  My point of this month-long challenge was not to lose weight (which I didn't), but to get rid of the cravings.  And I am happy to report that it was a success.  Hence, it being 6 days past my end goal date and I still haven't had any sugar.  Although, a large part of my motivation to keep going is that I only have a week left of P90X2 so I am going to stick with it until I finish that. 

March Madness

March is my favorite month.  There are so many great things going on and reasons to celebrate.  And what better way to celebrate than with food?  We had El Rancho and brownies for my dad's and my birthdays, fruit pizza for Larissa's baby shower, lots of eating out while we were out of town for spring break, snacks and junk food for camping during spring break, lots of good appetizers during March Madness games, and of course chocolate galore for Easter.  Let's just say my eating was on a fast track to disaster.

Starting April 1st I'm going to eat clean(er) for one month.  This is no joke.  My goal is to have no Dr Pepper, no desserts, and to choose healthier snacks instead of chips and crackers. 

Here's to a healthier month!
