3 more sleeps until I quit sugar for good!


ARE YOU MAD? I hear you ask.. nope not mad, well ok a little but sometimes can be a little smart also.  What is the one thing that holds me back from achieving my goals I asked myself, binging on sugar.  And when I have to start trying on wedding dresses, it is amazing at the willpower one can tap into. I have always needed an end goalto strive for to help me get motivated, not just because I want to. Am an Aries, very stubborn, but when I want something I will strive hard.  

The reason for this goal is to improve my health, longevity, increase my energy, reduce afternoon slumps and to look healthy & feel it too.

The wonderful Natalie Carter from Outlook Fitness has created this fantastic challenge.  Check out the great page, Natalie has created a handy booklet that you can get to assist you if you are too wanting a healthy challenge. http://www.50daysnosugar.com.au/
 
Cannot wait to share the journey with you all - my ups and downs, before and after piccies, new recipes and eventually my success and that great feeling of believing in myself enough to do this challenge which will make me feel better, less bloated, have more energy and shed some unwanted pounds in the process. 
 
Starts officially on the 1 July, the anniversary of when Nat created the 50 days no sugar program, I am starting it earlier. Because I can!

Mother's Day - made it ok!

Another Hallmark holiday but a good reminder to give extra love & thanks to the woman who birthed you (or raised you), bathed you, wiped your backside and burped you and who was there for all the good and bad times growing up and even still as an adult.  Mum's are the best. I know mine is the best ever. So many stories I could tell you about growing up with mum being there for me,  it would take forever.  I always feel a little sad as my mum isn't in the same city as me, but we chat often and see each other a few times a year & love buying something little to send her that I know she loves. This year was humbugs and Ginger Fudge from Hobart and a gorgeous printed scarf. Lovely.  I am so lucky and grateful that my mum is still here, where so many others don't have their mums with them. Grateful. I have always wanted to be a mum.  There was a few years back in my early thirties that I honestly didn't think I would get the chance.  But so glad...

Tomorrow is the END of NO Sugar!

Technically.  It commenced on the 1 July (I commenced a week earlier) so it will really have been 58days sugar free tomorrow for me, well 56 days sugar free as I did have two big blowouts.  But I see that as a learning curve and honestly can say I am enjoying being sugar free and good timing I just got my I Quit Sugar recipe book by Sarah Wilson in the post after attending a talk a couple weeks ago at Flow Athletica in Paddington. So even though it is technically the end of NO sugar, I won't be rushing out to buy my body weight in lollies or chocolate because I don't feel like I have to make up for that time, I feel like I have totally changed the way I think about sugar, food and fructose.  It has truly made me reduce processed foods to a minimum.  I don't crave anything really anymore, I fancy a chai latte or I fancy the cinnamon on top really.  I enjoy making fructose free chocolate, muffins and now that I have my new cookbook I am excited to make lots ...

666

*The number 6 vibrates to the energies of ownership, possessions and material wealth, love of home and family, care of others and nurturing, empathy and sympathy, responsibility and selflessness, provision and providing for the self and others.  Number 6 signifies the need for stability in all aspects of your life.   Angel Number 6 is a message from the angels to keep a balance between your material goals and aspirations, and your spiritual, inner-self.  Be gratefulfor what you have already, as an ‘attitude of gratitude’ encourages further positive abundance. When the Angel Number 6 appears repeatedly it tells of the ability to use the intellect to bring about positive outcomes in your life.  Be open to angelic signs and signals, maintain apositive attitude, and trust that opportunities will present themselves that will allow you to meet your material and financial needs. Trust that all will be provided for as you...
