Well since my last post I've lost 10 lbs and gained about 8 back. After a trip to the grocery store to get cat liter which also involved several chocolate bars and a bag of cookies, I realize I really need to do something different.
I've always had trouble with sugar and those refined carbs, so as I was reading around on some blogs today, I've decided to go 7 days without sugar.
Seven frickin' days.
I thought what would be better than blogging about it each day to help keep me on track. Sure, I don't have alot of blog readers, but the ones I do have are good friends. Maybe they could help me stay on track.
Officially I am going to start tomorrow, a Friday, and will to next friday. The plan I am doing is 30 days sugar free, but if I think of it that way my head might explode, so I am going to take it a week at a time.
No sugar also means no starchy fruits, artificial sweeteners, alcohol, juices, soda, starchy veggies, grains. Which means no bread. Or morning oatmeal. For all that is holy, how am I going to do this!
I know sugar is bad for you. HFCS is even worse and somehow I need to purge these things from my body. It ain't gonna be easy with an ice cream store right across the street from me, but I gotta do it. Living trapped by my food sure isn't fun! So for 7 days let's see what we can do. After my long term goal is met, maybe I can work on moderation, but that discussion will be for another day.
We will start tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to take pics of all my yummy meals.

Hi Jill,
I'll do the sugar-free with you. I'm doing the low carb with Nancy right now and WW with dh. So, Baby Girl, let's roll...
Yes, post pics!! And what DID you eat for breakfast today? Can you have grapefruit? And cottage cheese? Plain yogurt? What?? I'm intrigued... keep us posted, please!
And you can do it!! :)
Thanks Ladies! I can have fruit, but in moderation. Grapefruit I could have. No to cottage cheese and I love the stuff :( SNIFFLE! I can have plain yogurt as long as it doesn't have any sugar in it. I think Greek yogurt might be okay. I'm gonna check the labels!
I can have milk and cheese, but really most dairy is OUT!
