Today marked the beginning of the end of refine sugar for me. To refresh your memory, I am doing a sugar challenge through the end of the year. The goal with this is to withdrawal from the cravings of refined sugar, retrain my brain and body in what is good sugar, and in the end have no desire for the crappy food. I put myself up on a similar challenge to give up soda years back, and it worked.
By the end of today I already begun to experience the effects of not having any sugar. My workout was a struggle, I felt weak and slow. Afterwards, a trip to the grocery store was a difficult task. I was hungry, instinctively I wanted to grab whatever sweetness I could find, even a banana. But thankfully, I remained strong enough to walk past all the temptations and grab what I needed and was out of there.
I know this will be a very long journey, but it will be a worthy one. For those of you who decided to join me... GOOD FOR YOU! Be strong. Remember it's a mental game, beat it!

and the countdown begins
This photo was found on Pinterest.
In a matter of 8 days I will begin my sugar challenge. I have sort of started the process of slowly weaning myself off of certain things, but the real drop of all sugar will be in just one week. I am nervous, but excited for this healthy change. I know with dropping the sugar I will begin to see bigger changes in my performance with WOD's and in life in general. I have never been more motivated and focused. So whose with me?
