3 week point

      Hey all! Its been about 3 weeks and all things considered, i'm doing pretty well!   I should have maybe measured myself before so that I could see if there were any physical changes from the start of my month without sugar to the end but oh well.  The biggest change i've seen in myself is that the intense longing for dessert after dinner has subsided!  AT LAST!  It feels like it took an eternity for me to not feel like a sugar craving monster.
     At the beginning of this whole thing it was about myself and my cravings but soon I turned my attentions to my gal Lucy. When people would give us tasty treats I would feel bad throwing it away because someone spent either money or time on it, so I would let Lucy eat the snack because she lovessss any form of chocolate (a girl after my own heart).  Then I took a moment and thought, why should I be so focused on getting myself healthy while I let my little girl eat all of the sugar I cant have!  That can't be good!  A little snack every now and then is okay of course but the amount of sugar she's had of late cant be good.  She loves cut up peppers and cucumbers and avocados....I don't want that to go away and be replaced by sugar in its varying forms.  This last week my goal is to do more healthy snack prep for Lou and consequently myself because I should be eating a ton more veggies as well.


^^^"YEY APPLES!"
Shortly after this I disposed of a bag of candy hanging around the house that she is always asking for haha.

Did I survive Easter?

          Okay, so here's the deal.  I would say that I MOSTLY survived Easter while being sugar free.  Im being totally transparent here with you guys.  We had a delicious dinner lots of salad, roasted veggies, meat...mac and cheese *cough*......and deviled eggs because...EASTER DUH.  Anyways you wanna know how I survived dessert...well we (my sister-in-law and myself) are both trying not to eat sugar SO we, in all of our wisdom and me in my weak self control, decided not to make any! BOOM! But you know the kids still had a little Easter egg hunt.....and where there are Easter eggs...there will be candy.  There was my cute little daughter sitting on a swing, eating some mini peanut butter cups and the primal animal in me took over.  I prowled my way over to her swing and plucked a mini peanut butter cup from her basket in a way that only the Grinch on Christmas could have done.  You better believe it tasted good. I told myself...

The Decision

          Ive gone over it in my head about half a dozen times.  What is it that makes me feel like junk....then it hit me...its JUNK!  I've tried a lot of different dieting trends over the past couple years after having Lucy.  Ive tried to find my groove and find that version of myself that I used to really feel comfortable with.  Its been hard.  Exercise has always been a pretty good constant for me but the food that I eat has not been constant at all....unless being consistently inconsistent counts.             Recently I tried something that really made me feel great!  I ate strictly paleo for about a month and finally dropped weight that I could never lose and I felt way more energetic and overall happy and at peace.  It was really hard to do consistently but it paid off and I have since eased back on it a bit, but I have taken away a lot of recipes and meals that I can and do incorporat...
