Starts tomorrow?!?!

So I woke up this morning to realize that tonight is New Years Eve! Yes-I thought it was tomorrow, which means that I thought my sugar free diet started Sunday...but it starts tomorrow! I have to say I'm excited! So I'm changing the rules of the game a little bit, initially I said the sugar free challenge would be 5 weeks, well I'm changing it for 4 weeks. I just figured it might be easier for some people to think of going off for the month of January. Now you just have to go off sugar 4 weeks to get the prizes at the end, but you can go off for longer. So far it's just Melissa and I doing it, so guess I'm just talking to myself and Melissa! haha, but Melissa I'm excited to have your support!!! Happy New Year!!! I'm going to go have some ice cream right now...one last chance...:)

An Idea...


Hey everyone! Hope all is well :) I just had an idea I wanted to throw out there. I have been wanting to go off sugar for a while, I was going to start this month but decided it's just impossible for me during the holidays with all the goodies. I also heard that it takes 5 weeks of going off sugar to rid any addiction you have to it. I have been eating way too much lately, I'm beginning to feel like a candy monster! So I've decided to go off sugar for 5 weeks starting January 1st. So this is where my idea comes in...

I know January 1st is the popular day to start making changes, so I was thinking there may be some of you who would want to do the same. I know my mom has been wanting to go off sugar, so this is what I was thinking. If anyone else wants to join the ride and go off sugar for 5 weeks starting January 1st, we could be each others support system and we could even blog our journey on here. We could document yummy recipes that are helping us get through our cravings or just post about how stinkin hard it is but how good we feel! I don't want anyone to think that I am forcing this on anyone, I was just going to do it and thought I would throw out the idea to anyone who would want to join me:) If you have been wanting to go off sugar, this would be a good time to do it cause you would have a support system!

Ok, so support systems are great, but there will be also another incentive. Whoever does it and completes the whole five weeks will get some 4life health products. I haven't decided what they would be yet, maybe I will even let you choose what you want. But whatever I do it will be worth it! :)

Also, how fun would it be to do a get together mid January or something and have a sugar free pot luck where we bring yummy, healthy food! If there's enough interest I will put that together.

Ok, so there's the idea. I'm excited to go from feeling like this...


...to this!!!


Anywho, Happy Holidays! Enjoy the yummy treat's the holidays have to offer-especially if you are going to join me for the 5 week challenge starting January 1st!!! :) :)
