Sugar: consistent battle, like to eat it, hate it’s effects on my body and mood and this is a problem because………. I love bakeries, cookies, ice cream and all sorts of other garbage…..mmmmm
Going to give up sugar for 27 days (atleast)! Just to be clear, I have already been weened off of junk food and desserts for the last 5 months…….but lately my sweet tooth has been coming back with a vengeance. So I figured this would be a great time to re-commit. My rules for this are: anything obvious….i.e. (sweets, desserts, sauces etc). For the most part my ban extends only to obvious foods that contain lots of sugar. I am not worried about a seemingly healthy meal where a can of stewed tomatoes has sugar as its 5th ingredient (although I don’t know why I would eat stewed tomatoes especially ones with more than one ingredient…..lol).
Giving up sugar is not a new concept for me, I have already at previous times in my life given it up for extended lengths of time. Every time I have given it up in the past, I have found that around the 5-6 month mark, I start to mentally get a little weaker….as in my will power isn’t quite as strong and I end up introducing (innocent) things like……muffins or store bought banana bread back in. Obviously this turns into a slippery slope where within a few months I am back to enjoying ice cream and back to old habits….This is an issue because I have been consistent with hitting the gym, but a bad diet affects me a little stronger than most because I definitely can’t out work a bad diet with less than 2 hours in a gym.
So, here it goes, a pretty gentle slope for my first 27 days……….but I’d rather ease into my commitments.
UPDATE* This site had been forgotten about and neglected for 3 years. I am back and excited to move forward……..we shall see.
