So, I am addicted to sugar! I know I could lose 10 lbs if I just cut out sugar. So, for the next 30 days, sugar is gone. Today is day one. Then, after the 30 days, I will allow myself one meal/treat a week free (the same day). Not a full day of eat-whatever-I-want because that just backfires on me.
Also, I am not using any artificial sweeteners as I view those as poison for your body. Also, I will not use white flour. That really isn't a problem unless I eat out. We only keep wheat in this house!
I gave blood on Thursday and that really wipes me out. I didn't exercise Thursday or Friday. I did 60 min body pump this morning, 2 (1 minute) sprints, and walked some. It felt good but I could tell I was still tired from giving blood.
Eating:
B - eggs with hot sauce
S - cucumbers (the only thing our garden has decided to produce successfully)
L - chicken with mango salsa, plain yogurt, banana, and cheese stick
S - whole wheat, homemade bread with honey
D - chicken and salad

Update
81 days until my half marathon and 85 days until my 31st birthday!
I actually am doing well! I have lost a few pounds. But, more than that, I feel firmer and lighter. The eating is coming along well. I overate July 4th weekend but that is mostly it. I'm finding that I'm having more and more days of healthy, moderate eating and less of the bad, oveating. So, I'm going in the right direction!
The training for the half marathon is going well. I ran 8 miles a week ago Monday and it wasn't too bad. Mostly I am continuing to cross train along with my running and also sprinting. I'm still scared when I think of the half marathon but I know if I continue along this path, I should be okay.
Today's plan:
Gym - 45 min body step and 45 min body pump.
Eating:
Breakfast: eggs with sundried tomatoes, 5 fresh strawberries, skim milk
Snack: string cheese, almonds
Lunch: Leftover veggie dish from last night (recipe coming soon!)
Snack: medium apple (or half of the humongous ones I have in the fridge)
Dinner: Turkey burgers and big salad with cottage cheese
