I've been on this new journey since Dec 29th, and what an improvement. Weight loss has been around 6 pounds, which is fantastic, but who doesn't love to see even more progress? Even if it's only a pound a week, I know I'm doing so much better for my body by eating healthier and focusing on getting active. Looking at my diet diary since Dec 29th, I have seen immense improvement, mostly in my reduction of sugar intake. Day one, I ate 160 grams of sugar. That's 4/5 of a cup of sugar in one day! Yesterday, I ate around 95 grams of sugar, or less that 1/2 a cup. Not perfect, but much improved. Most days, I still have one little treat. Yesterday was a whipped cream tart with a handful of chocolate chips. Today I had a homemade ginger snap. I do not feel deprived. I feel fantastic about what I'm putting in my body. And I genuinely enjoy the food I'm eating. HOnestly, I haven't made many big changes. My focus is to try to use the Candida diet as a guideline, stick with my resolution to avoid junk food for one year, and realise that I do not need to eat as much as I thought I did before. So far so good. I would like to be able to be more active, but my family life just doesn't allow for alot of "me" time right now. I do get out with the dog a few times a week, and take part in the classes at the gym on Thursday. Most weekends I'm working in the house all day, so that has to count for something. I want to make sure to use my new cross country skis every weekend. Eventually, it should all add up. I feel so motivated this time to make this work. To make permanent and positive change. Becuase I finally know and feel in my heart that to commit for life will be the only way this will work for life.
