Giving up Sugar - YIKES!

Well, I am sitting in the dark on my bed - having FINALLY gotten Lulu back to sleep for the umpteenth time tonight... wait, it's already morning - ok well then this morning.  And I figured - no point sleeping, let's blog about my big life change happening as we speak.

See that big bowl of candy from Halloween?
See that Big cake in the frig from DH's birthday?
See that lovely, delicious creamer in the flavor of CINNABON?

Yep - I'm giving it all up! For a few reasons but mainly because Lulu has horrible reflux.  I know it's not milk or dairy products so now I"m eliminating sugar (which includes breads/pastas/ect).  I'm also eliminating sugar because she's had horrible thrush and sugar can cause it to get worse.  It's been 3 weeks for her - so I'm trying to get that under control as well.  I am also eliminating sugar because I need to lose weight badly and what better way to do it than go cold turkey off sugar? I am also eliminating sugar because, well, it's horrible for you! Read this blog about sugar and the 76 reasons that sugar is bad for you.  It might make you reconsider your sugar intake as well! :-)

So if I seem a tad cranky in the next few days, that's because I am on a serious sugar low - ha! But I must get Lulu's reflux under control - I hate her taking medication and feel that if I just change my diet, she'd feel so much better.  So here I go! :-)
