MY CONFESSION
My name is Cristi and I am, was, a sugar addict. I have significantly decreased my sugar intake over the last 3 weeks. I was inspired by my hottie sister Carli who went on a medical fasting program where she drank only special shakes for 4 months and lost 70 pounds!!! She eats so healthily now which made me examine what I eat and after being very honest with myself, I realized I eat WAY too much sugar. Now that I've cut out all candy, chocolate, ice cream, cookies, cake, soda, juice, white pasta, white rice, and white bread, I feel FABULOUS!!! The sugar was causing my blood sugar to spike which told my body I had plenty of energy coming in so it could start storing fat. That's why even though I was working out 3-5 times a week, nothing was happening, and I really wanted to lose 5 lbs for the Summer. Well, guess what! With cutting out the sugar-- I've lost 6!!! Yippeee!!!

Great job! I always do that for the month of january...kinda kick start the year. Sugar is bad. I wish I didn't like it so much. But when I am nursing I can't have a lot of milk and chocolate so that should help right? :)
I am SO impressed!! That is awesome - some day I'll get there... :)
Great job! I need to throw all our sugar out of the house if i am to do that.
Way to go!!
Awesome Cristi! You are so inspiring! I just started today actually. This morning I ran 3 miles and then went and ran stairs at the Holt Arena, which is a football stadium. Anyway I have also made the commitment once again to do it. I fell off my regular routine for awhile and gained back 10 pounds in 2-3 months! I was and am so disappointed in myself that I am starting again. It's going to be a life long battle to fight the temptation to give in to sweets and sugary and salty foods, but I know how good it makes me feel when I do...so it's like why do I keep going back?? Anyway, I am happy for you! You inspire me!
Way to go Cristi! I'm trying to cut back on sugar too- it's SO hard, I know. Have you seen the Eat Clean books? I just read about them on another friend's blog, and it looks like a great way to eat. Maybe I'll check it out from the library and blog about it :)
Sugar is so evil! Really! Nobody really knows.... or maybe they don't want to admit it. But it's sneaky stuff! Good job!
