It’s been 2.5 months since I’ve eliminated sugar from my life. I have suffered no ill effects whatsoever and am convinced that this was a necessary life change. I still enjoy sweets but they are made with alternative sweeteners – honey, agave and coconut or palm sugar.
The good news is that my erratic blood sugar problems have stabilized. The even better news is that I’ve lost 8 pounds since I started my full-time job! It seemed effortless because I wasn’t trying!
I don’t snack as much as I used to thanks to working more hours. That also means that the hours I spend as a couch potato have decreased as well. {smile}
Also, I’ve been a fan of Zevia soft drinks for a while. When we moved last year I searched all of our local grocery stores for this zero sugar favorite of mine with no luck. A local store was listed on Z’s website as a source but they didn’t carry it. I am thrilled that I contacted the store manager with my request and now they are stocking it. I know he didn’t understand how thankful I was when he called with that news but it’s the little things that add up to big things!
Have a great weekend!
