Dumping The Fat

That’s right - sugar is now my enemy.  I don’t really know where the idea came from.  Maybe years and years of reading has finally sunk in that sugar = bad when it comes to the type of results I am wanting.  Now, I’m not talking about fructose, which is the sugar in fruit.  Fruit = very good.  I’m talking about the sugar found in cookies, soda, candy, etc.  What I didn’t realize until grocery shopping this weekend is just how many food items contain added sugar, like salad dressing.  I love Ranch dressing, but it has sugar. 

So I have had no foods containing added sugar in 5 days, except for a tablespoon of Ranch dressing on my wraps, which I’m thinking I’ll give up the Ranch later on.  And I have to say that I have never felt better!  I have so much energy that I actually walk with a bounce in my step, which that hasn’t happened in years!  I feel like, dare I say, that I’m in my 20s!  Yay Me!

It’s amazing what can happen when you get rid of the junk in the diet.

Now, I haven’t checked my body fat percentage yet.  I’m thinking I will Friday.  I do know that I can see a difference in my arms, that’s for sure.  I’m starting to see some definition again in both my arms and my thighs.  That’s always a good sign.  I weigh about the same, though, so I am going to have to do some measuring as well.
