No sugar added today. It's been a great year for learning that I control what I eat, that social situations don't have to involve sugar and that any task can be accomplished by taking it one day at a time.
So to apply the lessons I've learned with this goal, I'm going to apply these lessons to running a 5K in April for my 40th birthday.
Since this blog was soley to be accountable to myself and to learn how to live without using sugar as a crutch. This will be my last post here, but the Fit for 40 blog is already up and running at http://stephaniefitforforty.blogspot.com/
Colton was right this is a lifestyle, one I want to continue...not necessarily completely sugar free, but to keep the mindset that sugar is a treat not a food group.
When I started this whole thing, someone asked me if I had kayaked before. I said, "nope, never." At the time, John and I were planning on moving to the Pacific Northwest as soon as we could sell our house. Unfortunately, the real estate market has put those plans on hold, but the thought of kayaking the San Juan's was what made me think of a kayak as a reward.
My awesome husband decided that I would keep my no sugar committment, but that I should be able to enjoy my reward this summer. So we purchased inflatable kayaks and have spent three-four days a week on the lake by our house. The peace I find on the water is incredible. Choosing a kayak as my reward was inspired because it led me to a sport that has become a central part of my mental, spirtual and physical health. I've written numerous posts about how blissed out I get kayaking.
Thanks to Colton and Jaden for being my example, to Mom for keeping her goal, Dad for not eating sugar in front of me for a year, Lacey for always having fruit alternatives at her party, Caeleigh for checking in on me and keeping my goal in the forefront of my mind. And most of all John, because he's my anchor, steadfast and sure

Day 355
No sugar added...I think I'm off somewhere in my number of days on this blog. All I know is that we started on September 1 and we're going to end on September 1st. We made it through Scotland without a Coke on John's part and no treats on mine..and if we can do that, well, we can do just about anything.

Day 336
No sugar added...not even sad comforting chocolate...although I bought some for John. We agreed that there will be no Irn Bru for him and no chocolate for me while we're in Scotland, no matter how hard it might be we're going to finish what we started.
