Different food preferences, fighting… chaos….wonderful crazy chaos. Today my oldest made plans to go see friends which I’m excited about.… Continue reading Day 5 Sugar Reduction
252.6 Is it too soon to use some explicit language yet? Not feeling this today. I woke up and could not get to the coffee pot fast enough. Not because I needed the caffeine but because I wanted my hit of sugar. I looked down at my dwindling supply and wondered how I’m going to… Continue reading Day 4 sugar reduction
I can’t pretend I understand the scale. I weighed myself this morning and was 254.2 Super frustrating to be above starting but I decided the scale was not going to be my master and I was going to move on with my day. I had coffee but no breakfast because I was trying to get… Continue reading Day 3 sugar reduction

One month ago I decided to take on a challenge. It was a challenge very different than any I’ve taken on before. I’ve done things to save money, save time, etc …. but I’ve never done one that focuses on myself.
