Sugar Strike Success

We did it! We went an entire week without eating refined sugar. To us that meant no cookies, cakes, pastries, candies, sugar cereal, hot chocolate or anything else we felt fit under that category.
The first few days were hard for me but by Thursday my cravings were nonexistent. I felt really good. I had all the energy I needed to do everything I had set out to do, including work out. We found we ate better overall. It was easy once we had set our minds to eating healthier. The positive attitude helped me to not feel so deprived.
Dan was tempted on more than one occasion this week.
I'm not sure how he feels about the experience.
Let's ask him:
Dan, how do feel after going a week without sugar?

I think my sugar ups and down were less dramatic, and I had a good amount of energy. But it wasn't easy, because at work there were all sorts of cookies and candy this week.

Thanks Dan.

The girls seemed fine without sugar also. Hannah asked for treats when she used the bathroom by herself, but she was pacified with grape tomatoes or snap peas.

I previously theorized that once the sugar was out of my system, I wouldn't want it anymore. From this experience, I would say that my theory has been proven.
Now, what to have for dessert to celebrate...
