Month is almost over...

How did you do with the Sugar Challenge?

The Sugar Challenge was our focus for the month of March, so how did you do?

I used to be a sugar junkie, so I know how hard it is to give up all of the yummy treats. I learned that if I wanted to feel better I was going to have to.

I did pretty good this month. I went 14 days with no sugar. Had a celebration piece of pie last weekend for my wedding anniversary & today I had a few girl scout cookies. Not too bad, but I have been working on being sugar free for a while. Don't beat yourself up if sugar was calling your name all month. You are a work in progress, you are still hatching.

Here are a few things to keep in mind about sugar:

·Vitamins and minerals can be stolen in attempt to process the sugar, depletion of your B Vitamins.

· Cause Weight Gain

· Give You Fluctuating Blood Sugar

· Increase Mood Changes

· Increase Nervousness

· Increase Loss of Concentration

· Increase PMS

· Suppress the Immune System

· Increase Anxiety & Depression Symptoms

·Make you more prone to panic attacks & increase them if you are already suffering

Next Month's Focus is Clean Eating.

With Spring Cleaning - toss out some of that processed food and try a new healthy dish each week. I'll share some of my favorites too. Remember, work in progress...no rush.This is a lifestyle change.

Keep me posted on how you are feeling. I love hearing from you!

Wishing you a peaceful day,
