Lately I have been noticing a huge increase in the amount of sweets I have been eating. And by lately, I mean pretty much consistently since Coley was born, so a little over a year. It is just crazy. Now I actually have cravings, or feel the NEED to eat chocolate or some sort of sweet baked good every day. Horrible. So, since Lent starts tomorrow I have decided to give up my sweets and cut my sugar intake drastically.
Here's the plan:
For the next 40 days of Lent I am absolutely cutting out sweets such as cookies, cake, soda, candy, etc., as well as anything with high fructose corn syrup. All other food that contains sugar, I will try to look for lower-sugar options or just natural sugars.
I think this will be a pretty good shock to my system initially, given the amount of sweets I have been eating lately. But I am really hoping that by the end of the 40 days I will see a change - an increase in energy, a few pounds lighter maybe? That would be great. Then I can take a look at the changes I've made, compare them to the results, and adjust the plan, if necessary, to make this more of a permanent change. Will keep you updated!
