10lbs lost! January challenge complete.
The January challenge came to an end yesterday. It was a tough 31 days. Though I would say the first half of the month was far more challenging than the back half. So, how did it go? Surprisingly well. Did the cravings stop? Yes and no. My general sugar cravings did stop and I didn't randomly just grab a piece of chocolate when I was looking for a sweet snack. That said, I never stopped wanting a bowl of ice cream or frozen yogurt. It's my food love. I don't think I can ever live without it. I will just live with less of it than before moving forward. One change that will stick is that I'm fine drinking coffee now without the sugar. A splash of milk does the trick. No alcohol - I haven't h ad any since December 31. No dessert - Didn't cheat. I thought this would be the thing to break me but, I lasted. Tonight, a scoop of frozen yogurt is on the menu! Cut added sugar/no artificial sweetener - It turns out a lot of what we have in our cupboards
