No Sugar Challenge Day 3

Today was rough. I felt off, physically. My children (and husband) endured through the sour mood my being "off" caused. I wish I had called out to the Lord more and endured the day with gracious responses instead of snappy, harsh answers. I am thankful His mercies are new every morning!

Could my physical "offness" been a result of succeeding through two days of no sugar? I think so. Hoping tomorrow will go better.

Tracked every bite!
Worked out!

No Sugar Challenge Day 2

Not a bad day.  Drew took us out to eat for supper to an all you can eat salad bar.  I refrained from any sugar. 

Father God, Thank you for a successful day on the "refrain from sugar" front! All glory to You!  Amen.

Side Note:  I found this note on my dresser and now that the entire family is well again I am taking this challenge also:  Today (written Saturday April 13, 2013) I am setting a new goal to

1) track (write down) every bite I eat AND
2) to work out a minimum of 5 days a week.

No Sugar Challenge Day 1 Again :)

Saturday April 20th - day one

I remembered!!  I made it through the whole day without much difficulty.  I wasn't even really tempted at the bridal shower I attended.  I thanked the Lord for fruit, nuts and had those instead.

Lord, Please help me to see this through. Thank you for a day with little temptation.  Thank you for a sister to challenge me, and to walk with me through this. Amen.

No Sugar Challenge Day 1

Let's just say, well today ended up not really being day one because I completely forgot and totally indulged in 1/3 of a scone topped of with a Chai Latte!  No, I really did forgot.  I have been sick since Tuesday. This morning the girls and I ran out to look for a formal for Mary to wear to an up coming event.  On the way home I remembered I had a free birthday treat on my Panera card.  We stopped, and the rest is history.

No Sugar Challenge

A year ago I took the no sugar challenge, lost weigh and gained energy.  I think it is time to take up the challenge again.  Thanks Renee for challenging me in the area!  I am looking forward to gaining energy and calling out to the Lord alongside you!

The Drinking Jar

A friend of mine started a support group for keeping in shape. Yesterday she encouraged water intake.  My chiropractor tells me I should drink 1 quart for every 50 pounds of body weight. For me that means 3 quarts minimum :-) here is my drinking jar to help me accomplish that goal :-) !

Latest Happenings

I am cutting sugar and many grains out of my diet in hopes to improve overall health.  Starting date, Tue. February 28.  My goal is to continue until March 18th and then reevaluate.  My goal was not to lose weight (although I started this at about 16# over what I am best at) but I have lost 5 # to date.  A friend shared this link with me.  http://www.loseit.com/  I'm not planning to track food at this point, but might in the future.

On the workout scene, I am pluggin' away, some weeks better than others.  Bad weeks - 1 work out in a week =(.  Good weeks, 4 workouts in a week =).

Singing out!!
