March's Challenge

No Sugar for 4 days straight!

Yikes...this might be the hardest goal of all (at least for me it would be).  Since SWEET is the taste that most people prefer from birth, it's natural to have sweet cravings often.  Research has shown that you can train your body to prefer the feeling of 'being full' (i.e. good carbs and proteins) over that sweet craving.  This is done over time as you put healthy foods into your body.  Researchers have found that those who go 'cold turkey'  for a couple of days, tend to have success on eliminating that sweet tooth.

You get to decide when you want to do this challenge.  It just has to be 4 consecutive days and has to be done by the end of the month.  Text me when you get this done.  If I don't get a text by March 31st, you owe $5 to the pot.  Spouses and family help each other stay on track and honest.  No cheating! Watch what you are drinking too.  Make sure to look at your labels.  Of course natural sugars...fruits etc...are completely fine.

                                      

Side note:  I don't think it necessary to have regular weigh-ins.  We will have them, but mostly when we all get together for dinner.  I will have charts for everyone so we can keep track of our goals.  If you would like to weigh yourself often, just text me a picture of the scale.  I will be sure to put your chart on the blog so you can see your progress.  This may help motivate some of you.
