Sugar...you and I can't be together!

The past month has been crazy.  I use that word too frequently, but it's true.  My 7 year old Yorkshire Terrier Teddy became alarmingly ill, I moved, and had quite a few changes at my work as well.  Just as all of this was happening, I also had my 38th birthday.  I have never been taken out to dinner so many times for my birthday as I was this year.  I feel lucky to have so many amazing friends that love me, and want to spent time with me.... but I feel maybe just a little touch regretful that I didn't pass up on the cake at least one out of ten times?

As usual I'm not far from where I want to be, but I'm hitting the gym (and my diet with renewed fervor.  There are certain habits that I have for how I eat at home, and I've started to deviate from them, and just have what I want.  Getting (or staying in shape) can be acheived with some minor changes, and losing the shape you worked so hard to get......that's easy too!  Here are a few things that I changed over the past month that I'll be changing back:

I started buying sweetened almond milk instead of unsweetened.

There is a bottle of wine in my fridge at all times (I've never had that)

I've ordered dessert at every meal that I had at a restaurant.

I started buying cereal again:)

 

These might sound like small, inconsequential changes....but I promise you they are not.  One of the things that all of these changes have in common?  More sugar.  I have a photo shoot in Miami in three months, and as I prepare....the sugar that I have been craving so much lately has to go.  I'll still eat plently of fruits, sweet potatoes, rice, oatmeal etc for carbs, but the refined stuff has to go.  Staying healthy and in shape is something that takes consistent work.  It's not painful, and it's not terrible, but the foods that you put in your mouth do show up in your physique, so you have to know what they're doing to you:)

 

Stay beautuful and healthy!
