Welcome to SunriseWD Healthy Lifestyle Blog
Hi Sunrisewd.com Blog readerMy friend Charli and I are attempting to do 30 days wit NO sugar. We attempted this in Nov and failed.
I started on Feb 4th and today is feb 14th and so far so good. The first few days were rough and today was very hard. I am a chocolate freak- and all the boxes of chocolate floating around has been driving me nuts! But I am focused and want to complete my 30 days.
My goal is to lose 10pds and to recognize when I am emotionally eating (which is frequently.)
Current weight: 160lbs Goal weight: 140 lbs
Goal weight after 30day no sugar: 15olbs.
My inspiration: Charli! She started Jan and made it 4wks with no sugar and lost 10lbs! Go girl! Read about her experience on the blog
Wish me luck ( and a little weight loss)

7 Easy Tips to eat more fruits & veggies
ruit!
1. Pack your lunch. Make your sandwhich’s to include some lettuce, a tomatoe slice and some sprouts!
2. Add a handful of carrots as a snack.
3. Remember the celery & peanut butter snacks as a kid?
Try the update version and use almond or cashew butter-( go ahead and make some eyes on it with raisins)
4. Apples are natural and easy ‘fast’ foods. Take 1 with you on the go
5. Instead of chips, try crunchy peas as a evening snack.
6. Start the morning out right, dice up some bell peppers & onions in your eggs!
7. Bored with carrots & celery-try jicama.
Jicama is a root that is sweet and crunchy to eat. It looks like a round brown ball in the vegetable section at the grocery store.
Just peel the skin off with a knife and you have a new and tasty veggie!

30 days no sugar- a 1pd success! ~lol -but I learned about Me
After 30 days of no sugar, missing ALL the valentines day chocolate, cakes at the office and controlling the mid night munchies- I lost 1 pd.
To say that I was disappointed is an understatement. And this is embarrassing, the day after my 30th day I pigged out! Cake, ice cream, M& M’s, everything-it was no hold bars.
And as I laid in bed clenching my stomach it occurred to me that while I didn’t lose the 15lbs, I gained self control and the ability to recognize when I am emotionally eating. That’s worth about 14pds.
I am going to try again. However, this time I am going to make more time to exercise and plan my meals better.
Check back to see my progress!
