Sugar Fast

I haven't completely fallen off the face of the earth, it was just the Christmas holiday. Include a 2 week school break where the hubs is sick, and I don't get nearly as much done as I would have liked to. But I'm glad he was sick over break and not during the school week. So I haven't gotten in much running, but I'm not phased. My weight's remained pretty steady at around 13.5 lbs above my goal. I'm going to continue to squeeze in some running time now that our regularly weekly school schedule is back. But in addition to that, I'm considering doing something different. Okay, at first I thought it was crazy. And to me it still is a bit. But I think it could be extremely beneficial. I have some cousins who do a sugar fast for a month at the beginning of each year. I haven't decided yet if I'll go the "absolutely no sugar" route or the "no sugar in the first 3 ingredients" route. But either way, I think I'm going to do it. But since doing it for the first month of the new year isn't an option, I think I'm going to do it for the 30 days before my birthday. So I'll be starting at the end of this month. And that gives me time to clean up and get rid of leftover goodies and sugar packed treats from Christmas. I've started unloading some of them onto the hubs for his classes at school. Those kids can eat anything. So hopefully by the end of the month I'll be ready to go sugar-free! I really don't know how I'll handle it. I'll be blogging it, don't you worry. I totally nickel and dime my diet with small treats. I don't doubt that's why I can't lose this last 15 lbs. It should be really interesting. So now, I have about 20 days to psych myself up for a sugar fast. 20 days and counting.
