Hey Y'all!
How's your summer going? Isn't it nice to be off or have less to do?
So yesterday I had my friend Erica over and we spent the day together. :) Before we dropped her off, I challenged her (and myself) to go one week WITHOUT SUGAR!! O_O
If you want to, try to go one week without something that you absolutely love, but isn't good or healthy for you. Maybe (and probably) it's sugar. ;)
Let me know if you want to do it and I'll send an email at the end of the week to keep everyone accountable! We can *sparkle* for Jesus with our bodies because they are a temple for Him!
Today I was able to enjoy sugar free/non fat chocolate frozen yogurt with fresh strawberries and pecans from Orange Leaf! You can be healthy and still enjoy yourself without sugar. SHOCKER!
***One indulgence allowed ;)
Hey girl count me in!! I am all ways ready for a challenge!!! What you describe sounds delicious! Yummmmmmm
ReplyDeleteWhoopie!! I also forgot to mention that you can still have like honey, stevia, Pyure, Swerve, and other natural/healthy sweeteners instead of sugar. ;) You go girl!
DeleteWhat about things like bread? That has a little sugar, right?
ReplyDeleteAhh... yep. :) You can still have bread and things that might have sugar in them like BBQ sauce, ketchup, or other meals that may have a slight amount of sweetener. I guess just like no added sugar or things like cookies, candy, cake, sugary drinks, etc... :) Great question!! The carbs in the bread eventually turn to sugars after digestion before the liver or something... ;)
DeleteOkay, I'll try! Are we starting right away? And by the way, did you get my email about the post swap?
DeleteYes, we are!! As long as you do it for a week, you can start anytime. :) I'm going to send an accountability email on Friday/Saturday to check on everyone. Yes! I am responding right now. ;) <3
DeleteHee hee... I've been on it except for known indulgence by B.M. ;)
ReplyDeleteLast night at Chick-fi-la.....
I finally discovered a muffin in a mug baked in the oven I liked!!! The strawberry one is actually pretty good!!! I made three of them tonight!!!
(I am going to be so sick of them later on...) ;)
Try them if you have the Trim Healthy Mama cookbook. WARNING!!! The other muffins in mugs I have attempted have been pure disgusingness, so don't try them unless you're prepared. Just letting y'all know, if you tweak the recipes in there, stuff can turn out o.k.! I don't have rules about sugar free stuff, but since I'm a sweet tooth, I decided it would be wise to try and see what I can pull together without sugar!
So I tried it and it worked for 2 days then I found out that sooo much stuff had sugar so I couldn't do it anymore but I think later I'm going to try staying away from my kindle which I'm on ALOT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo if you have an electronic like a phone, kindle, tablet, iPod stuff like that stay away from it for a week and spend time with your family and give the challenge to other people to I mean when I wasn't doing sugar my family thought I was the CRAZIEST person in the world so maybe you should try it...
