No Sugar Challenge

That is right. Tyler and I are off sugar for one month (Oct 20-Nov 20). Some might say that this is a horrible time for this challenge due to the holidays. On the contrary, this is the best time for this challenge because of the holidays. My 10 year old brother-in-law Matt is my inspiration. He did this last year around this time with zero mistakes. Amazing! When he sets a goal for himself, he is full speed ahead. Surely, if he can do it, so can we. I am totally off sugar (minus natural sugars-obviously) while Tyler is allowing some sugar like in jam and oatmeal etc. We decided that when we accomplish our goal, we are buying a futon for our den. I am so excited. This is the jump start to my goal to drop 10-15 pounds before I start my internship (Women in Motion Marathon Training) in January. Tyler is also working to be healthier. Give us support and NO TEMPTATIONS. We are not that strong! ha ha Wish us Luck and maybe even join us!

  1. Weird, I know another couple that's doing this right now. Why now?! I think I would do it with you if it wasn't now. I just don't have the willpower. Good luck!

    P.S. This means no ice cream on Nov. 1st...

  2. I did that about a year and a half ago and it was a jump start to lose a few pounds. Give yourself a week, and you won't want any sugar. I remember once I started eating sugar again, I ate a Tootsie Roll pop and almost got sick b/c it was so sugary. I've already decided, after this baby, no sugar for me for a while. I won't diet, just cut out sweets.

    Good luck...and no, I won't join you, I'm enjoying eating too much:)!

  4. My mom does this from time to time... she always says it's the worst in the first week or so, then you barely even notice! Good luck!

  5. Good luck with your goal. I will not be following your example. In fact, I think I will go get a Tootsie Roll pop after reading Katie's comment. haha
