I Have a Problem

The first step is admitting it. Right? So what am I going to do about it. Well...I finished off the last bag of m&m's in the house last night. With a tall glass of milk.



I could just give up the m&m's but I know I would quickly replace them with KitKat's. Or Hershey drops. Or Lindor truffles. So I'm going big. And giving up sugar. Yikes! I did this last spring for a few weeks. So I know the first few days will be horrible. So I figured while I'm at it I'll cut out all the white stuff. Bread, rice, pasta...yeah, this is going to be awesome. I've stocked the fridge with lots of fresh fruit and veggies, greek yogurt, you know, healthy stuff.

So why am I doing this? Well, there's the obvious fact that swim suit season is right around the corner. But more importantly, I hate the fact that I feel like I NEED chocolate on a daily basis. When I cut out sugar last April, I was surprised how quickly the cravings went away. And how much better I felt. I had a lot more energy. And though I completely avoided sugar for almost a month I knew it was totally unrealistic to avoid it forever. So for months after I would have cookies, cupcakes, even m&m's occasionally but never really felt like needed them until last fall. Maybe the Halloween candy was my downfall. Probably.

I figured while I'm at it I'll try to drink a lot more water and exercise every day. I'm doing Jillian Micheals 30 Day Shred. Today was the first day and it sucked. I've been running pretty consistently for a few months but haven't done a full body work out like that forever. At least it only lasts 30 minutes.

So that's that. I'll update at the end of the month and hopefully I will have good things to report. Wish me luck...
