Well, I am doing this Sugar Detox 2011 challenge through http://www.naturallyknockedup.com/. I know considering the name you all are wondering if I am trying to get pregnant...THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!! haha I have always wanted to say that to someone. But really, I do indeed want to have another baby! In fact I would like to give birth tomorrow! I feel so ready for another lil chubby bub to hug and kiss. And yes I am sure. Even though I have my plate full and frequently have crazy and hilarious mishaps. Like yesterday when a sopping wet monkey, dripping with potty water, smacked me in the face to wake me from my very wanted nap! But that is in the Lord's hands. So I will wait until His perfect timing takes place. But I do want to be more healthy overall and that is the reason I am doing this detox. The more I read about sugar and all it's negative health effects {3 big ones being: causes an imbalance in our blood sugar levels, cancer feeds on sugar, majorly suppresses your immune system} the more I want to never consume it again. And for those of you who really know me. I have a mad sweet tooth, with a mind of it's own! I could live on sugar and carbs. Not really, but I would be happy :) So anyway this challenge will last 8 weeks. This is week 1 and the challenge is to rid your house of any and everything containing HFCS aka high fructose corn syrup. This wasn't too hard because we have been avoiding it for over a year now. But we did still have a few items...which went straight to the trash...well, except the frosting which was quickly claimed by my friend. And the Manwich sloppy joe mix...gulp...which I made for dinner last night...But I do solemnly swear to NEVER purchase it again so long as I live! With that said I am ready to eliminate or at the very least greatly decrease the amount of sugar I and my family will be consuming from here on out. I am excited to see what the next step will be!! Follow the link at the beginning if you want to join me in bettering your health this year!
