Sugar Free

So 12 days ago today I stopped eating sugar. Yes, everyone in my house is still alive and well!

Why did I go sugar free? I got tired of not being able to think. I felt like I was in a sound proof room and I could see my thoughts but they were muted and blurry. I couldn’t hold a decent conversation. Frankly I was tired, and tired of feeling out of control of myself. (I know I am in control of nothing, but you know what I mean)

Here is what I have noticed in just 12 short(some longer that other) days.
1. I have more energy
I took my boys on a day trip last week. Something I could not have done a month ago.
2. I am not starving
In fact I am not as hungry as I was before I stopped sugar.
3. I am thinking clearer
This is the first time I have blogged in a very long time. I missed it. But I got so very frustrated trying to find the words that I just stopped doing the things I loved.

I know I have a long way to go and this is a baby step to better health. Today though is a better day, and thats enough.
