I need a twelve step program for sugar

My sugar detox started yesterday...it was a total bust!!!!  If it had sugar...I wanted it.  There may have been a situation with a kitkat, a almond Hershey and some sandwich cookies...but I don't remember...I was in sugar heaven.  Hell I would have sucked on a sugar cube if I had one.  Oh that reminds me of sucking on sugar canes and a kid...good times.

Anyway...the minute I said I would quit...the sugar monster showed up.  I broke weak.  But today is a new day.  So far...no sugar.  I had breakfast of cereal (raisin bran crunch), lunch of chicken thighs small helping of mashed potatoes....no cravings yet.  I'm trying...good gosh I'm trying.

In other news...I haven't exercised since my actual birthday...what the what...yup..crazy.  I will go back to yoga on Thursday.  I can only get there 4 days a week...which are usually the 2 days Charles is off work and the 2 days he has to go to work late.  But I love those 4 days.  So I'm thinking I'm going to do a C25K program.  I run...but not nearly as long as I would like.  Why not try something different.  Well different for me.  I'm actually hoping to go back to Zumba.  Gosh I miss that stuff.

Dinner tonight...I have no damn clue.  But there will be a workout tonight.  Bike riding or running...but sweat will be involved. 
Have an awesome day...and remember...everyday is a new day to get it right.

I with you on the sugar. I'm definitely an addict.

I've been sugarfree for a week now. And I'm on vacation so not to shabby.

What has worked for me is...low carb slimfast. Yep, slimfast shake. I found it at Sams Club. Low carb, low sugar, and who couldn't resist when it stated,"keeps you full for 4 hours".

Hey, I'll take it, it's helped me.

Too funny! I can so relate. Nothing like deciding (and stating) a goal to make it go a little nuts the other way - like a last ditch effort for the habit to fight to stay hooked on. You got this though. I think it just shows it's really on your mind now, which is a good thing.

What Vanessa said! Every day is a new day. (Actually, I think I saw you posted something new to the tune of you'd avoided it so far today - keep up the great work, lady.)

C25k was seriously the best thing I could have ever done for my fitness. Now I'm running around 10-12 miles a week, and that's only going to go up!!!
