Surviving life without sugar, artificial sweeteners and diet soda. Conquering addition for a better healthier me.
Category Archives: My Thoughts Happy Easter! I won’t be blogging today about how strong I stayed through this holiday like I did the previous ones this year. I anticipate blogging about recovering from today with my juicer tomorrow. Maybe I should rename my blog: “confessions of a sugar addict”. I’m making chocolate covered strawberries. I’ll add pictures in a...  When I started this blog back in November 2011, I had so much inspiration and enthusiasm and commitment. Nothing could stop me. I soared through the first 2 – 3 months without a hitch or without a cheat or without a deviation from my self proscribed life change. Fast forward to today… My 3rd month...  Hey, I’m still here. I’m alive and breathing. I’ve increased my exercise and guard my eating. I can do more and it shows as my weight loss slowed. I am almost 1/3 of the way through my year and I need to up the ante. It can be really hard on days that I just...  I shared the news back on Day 88, that a workout company Physique 57 reached out to me in an effort to support my weight loss journey.

I have been exhausted and off track the last two days. I love how each day is new and each day we can begin again. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Sounds simple? Check out Dr. Fuhrman’s Website. When I was brain storming to... It’s been difficult getting my blog postings in while I’m going back and forth to the hospital. It’s very hard watching a loved one who is sick. No matter who they are, it’s one of the most helpless situations that life can present. Something so totally out of our control. That said, I am focusing... AVOID at all cost. I need to avoid foods that set me off. I have company for the weekend and everyone wanted Chinese tonight. They have a healthy menu but I have learned during this process not to tempt myself and I don’t order a dish for myself. I’ll eat one of my healthy stand... First of all, I can’t believe I have 80 days today. This an accomplishment for me. A sugar addict without sugar binging. Yes it feels good! Super Bowl Sunday.. Another day associated with snacking that I am putting in the Holiday Category. I will be participating in this years celebration for sure. THE NY GIANTS... I’m keeping it simple with a few thoughts.. I was struggling a bit last week and I put it out there honestly. I got such wonderful support and that kept me on track. The beginning of this journey, 2 and 1/2 months ago, I came to realize that the only way for me to accomplish... |
