Day 5 Get Out Work Out



We are almost one week into SLASH the SUGAR and I've had interesting feedback, insights, lifestyle changes, and "ah-ha" moments - from adults and kids!


Many of you have told me how much better you feel - "surprisingly". Others have been shocked that they were getting so much sugar in their diet when they weren't even trying to eat something sweet. And some of you, who are already very conscious, cautious eaters, have found a few things out about what you've been eating by habit as well!

I've also learned a few things:
  • The chocolate milk I was addicted to while training for Ironman has 155 grams of sugar in it!!  I was drinking the entire bottle at the grocery store while shopping a couple times a week back then! Eeek! 
  • That having your OCD child count sugar grams is probably not good for one's own personal sugar consumption (wine ;-)
  • Having your husband at a lighter weight than he's been in 30 years ain't a bad thing!
So far, it has been a fun journey! Keep the info coming!
