Fitness First Update

Monday, October 16th.

So this was an interesting past 5 days.  After giving up sugar, alcohol, and red meat on Wednesday, October 8 and let me tell you the challenges and the easy parts of my experience so far:

Easy:
- easy to say NO if you are paying for things (wine, dessert, red meat)  Your bill is SO much CHEAPER!
- easy to see HOW MUCH SUGAR IS IN EVERYTHING (just go to the grocery store . . . its amazing!)
- easier to do if you go to bed early to not give into cravings

Challenges: 
- not quickly grabbing sugar things that are in your house already
- cleaning up after making healthy items (juice, sliced fruit, etc) . . . just make time for it

BIGGEST CHALLENGE:
I got a virus this week and now have lost my voice.  I wonder if it a result of detox from sugar etc.  I know sugar negatively feeds a cold so "comfort food" is not good for you .  .  . anyone have thoughts on this?

Here is something I thought was interesting:
