I did it!!! 10 days without sugar or sweetener of any kind. No refined flours. No dried fruits. And no sugary beverages. Sugar is my addiction, so I will keep going, other than an occasional treat. Congratulations to all of you who also made it or are still working on it.

Leg day…again. Feeling it, but loving it!

Walked outside and yoga✔

Continuing to track nutrition. Had pizza over the weekend. I think for the first time in history I stuck to one slice and then filled up on veggies. Had corned beef and smoked cabbage with potatoes and green beans cooked in avocado oil on Sunday. Weighed and measured everything. Kept me within my allotted calories, as well as under the…[Read more]

Another workout in the books. Increased weight on last set of each exercise. Will walk the pasture with my horse during lunch…before sitting behind a computer for the rest of the afternoon. Then chores and walking dogs tonight. Happy Tuesday!

Horses got new shoes yesterday…YAYYY!!! Looking forward to riding again. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate soon. 🙂

Almost through the 10 day sugar detox. Still going strong. Amazing how reducing sugar intake has decreased inflammation in my joints. I think I’ll continue even after the 10 days. Up to 75 squats per day (25 reps at a time :)) …on top of any that are included in my regular workouts. Continuing to track nutrition as well. Feeling great!

Forgot to post yesterday:
Played kickball outside with my youngest daughter and did my yoga✔
Today was beautiful out, walked to the in laws with my dog to get my girls off the bus, saddled their horse and watched them ride for an hour or so, and then walked back home, and did yoga✔

I did the Bring Sally Up squat challenge tonight. Did some pulses waiting to go up. My thighs were burning

Everyday the pastor has a morning message live. Todays topic was Hope killers..pride fear guilt and hurt. Learning to let go of those things and hold tightly to hope Season of change can be difficult. Start my day out with prayer and the morning message keeps me focus and grounded for the day.

Sugar detox…day 6…getting easier to “just say no” to sugar. However…my protein shake for lunch had a whopping 15 grams of sugar (organic cane sugar, acacia gum, and fructooligo-saccharides)…GRRR. I should have paid more attention to the nutrition facts and ingredients. The good news is without all the other added sugars in my diet from…[Read more]

No official workout, but feeding horses, cleaning stalls and filling water troughs…5 gallons at a time…is a workout…right? 😉 Same breakfast as yesterday, except I swapped wheat toast for 1/2 of a whole wheat “Thinwich” and had an apple rather than strawberries and blueberries. Protein shake for lunch with half a banana and lots of…[Read more]
