Last few days of Sugar Free in June

OK, only a few days left of our little sugar detox adventure in June.  For those of you who took on this challenge. Congrats!  You're almost there.  Hopefully, by now, you're more accustomed to choosing snacks and foods that don't have added sugar in them and your cravings for sugar have diminished.  

My biggest challenge in this detox was the first 48 hours.  It wasn't hard to stop having the sugar, it was my withdrawal crabbiness that was hard to deal with.  But by the 3rd day, I was OK.  And now, no sugar in my coffee tastes pretty good.  Waffles with peanut butter instead of maple syrup is actually pretty tasty.  And all the fresh fruit: rasberries, apples, mangos, etc were fabulous!  

Let me know how your sugar detox went.  Would love to compare notes.  As usual, hope to see you for a work out soon.  Have a great week!

Get in a run for me.

I miss running.   I injured my knee over 6 weeks ago and have been in physical therapy for the last month.  They told me not to run.  Telling me that I cannot run, has been the most frustrating experience.   I've been a runner for half my life and have done long distance running for the past 6 years.  So being told not to do my "go to" sport has been tough.   Running has always been the form of exercise that not only keeps my body in check but also keeps my mind in check.  My long runs always gave me an opportunity to clear my head and focus only on my footsteps and my breathing.  

While I'm not running, I'm getting cardio from the elliptical machine and my endurance training from spinning.  I've also done a tremendous amount of strength and circuit training which has taught me new ways to stay strong even without my favorite runs.   I know that getting back to running is just around the corner as I continue to rehab my knee and I may even get to run with my therapist, this week.  Yay!  

So for those of you who are running, can you get a run in for me?   I'd appreciate it and it would make me happy to know that some of you out there are reaping the benefits of my favorite sport.  ;-)

Have a great week and hope to see you for a workout soon.

Sugar Free for the rest of June

OK, I've been meaning to do this for a while, but I'm really going to do it for the rest of this month.  I plan to cut any added sugar from my diet for the rest of the month.  That means, no sugar in my coffee, no desert, no ice cream, etc.   What I will do is eat more fruits and vegetables, not to excess but enough to satisfy my palette.  Of course, I could use company, so who wants to join me in this mini sugar purge???  Let me know and I'll check in with you at the end of the month to see how you feel.  Hopefully, by the end of the month you won't have as many sugar cravings.   C'mon, you know you want to go sugar-free with me!

Have a great week.  Hope to see you for a workout soon.
