With a lot of people like me who are trying to lose weight, one of the biggest obstacles we have to overcome is giving up sweets. For the next thirty days I want you to take this challenge with me. Eat nothing sweet! Let's cut out all the indulgences we take for granted, and prove to our bodies, our minds, and everyone else that we don't need sugar to survive! I'll be posting periodically about my progress. I want you to leave comments about your progress as well. Let us inspire one another!
Day 25
Did you think I had forgot about the challenge? Sadly for the both of us, I have not. How have you been doing through these past 15 days?
I've not did too terribly. I've cut out so much of the sweetener that I use in my coffee that I sometimes don't put it in at all. Then again, I'm not drinking nearly as much coffee as I used to be. Over the past 15 days, I can think of 5 times that I've slipped up and had something sweet. Each time, I felt a little bit of remorse when I was done, but I knew that I could handle life without sugars.
For the "haters" out there, I'll let you know that I have been checking my blood glucose levels at random intervals during this challenge to see if it's having an effect on me. Before the challenge started, I was having blood glucose readings that sat in the 90-120 range. Now that I've cut regular intake of sweets out of my diet for the past 25 days, I have been surprised to find my blood glucose levels sitting between...
90-120. Yeah, I know it's not a change at all. I wasn't really surprised, either. I just wanted it to be suspenseful.
See you guys in 5 days!
