Wow. I'm impressed that Stacey didn't cave in to cake at her work birthday party.
On Sunday night Clark made cookies as a last hurrah before we started the challenge once again. They were delicious, but it really wasn't a 'treat' because we'd been having sugar all along - since about a week after the last challenge ended. Licorice. Cake. Candy. and all manner of deliciosity. But those days are over, and I'm glad. I find that once my body is purged of the stuff, other food tastes better. Fruit is sweeter. Vegetables taste better. Last night I could even taste the sweetness of my broccoli. Yum.
Without the refined sugar in my diet, my body seems to metabolize differently. It has only been a few days, and I've already lost a couple pounds - make that re-lost; I'd gained a few since the last challenge. I'm excited to continue the sugar cleansing and feel even better.
And lastly, a happy birthday to you, Stacey! If you want, you can come on over and we'll put some candles in your steamed carrots. Good job :)
Lindsay, I with you on the re-lost a couple of pounds. Why is it that when on "the challenge" I can be so much more disciplined. . . hummm
