I Am Giving Up Sugar For 14 Days

I did it before, and I plan to do it again. I'm giving up sugar for the next 14 days. Why? Because when I gave it up last time, I felt amazing! (What Happened After 14 Days Free Of Sugar) I saw TONS of personal health benefits.

And then I re-introduced sugar back into my life. However, moderation became an issue.

So I feel that I need a personal reset. I'm not sure resets even exist. I think it's just become a word that companies have used to convince people they are doing something good for their body. So maybe I need a different word? ha.

But to me, I'm hoping that by eliminating sugary junk food for a couple of weeks that I can
mentally come to a place that I can find my personal moderation - whatever that is for me.

I'm 2 weeks into a weight loss challenge. I've kept it on the down low because I haven't been able to organize my thoughts to share about it yet. So stayed tuned for that....

But the last time I did the no sugar thing, I blogged daily. I'd never made it past 3 days before, and I knew the accountability to all of you would hold me accountable. I admit that I've tried giving up sugar since then and didn't make it past day 3. I know that I need the accountability to do this. So this time around, instead of blogging daily, I intend to post daily to my Instagram Stories and to my new Will Run For Ice Cream facebook page. So if you don't follow me there, please do so.

Yes, I do see the irony in my name. #WillRun4IceCream giving up sugar. But my ultimate goal is to find the key moderation for me - where I can have my ice cream within reason and eat it too :)

This is part of my vision board - working on becoming a healthier me. It's time that I did this....

If you don't have IG or FB and you would like an update during the 14 day time frame, you can email me at info at willrun4icecream.com.

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Running My Life

Wow, has it really been 2 years since my last post? I suppose that I allowed life to get in the way. For any faithful blog readers, I apologize. Although, I'm not sure how many people actually read blogs anymore. I think most people use other social media platforms. (By the way, drop by and say hi on Insta. ) But for some reason, each year when I pay for my google domain, I can't seem to let it go. As silly as it sounds, this little space is mine. And lately I've been struggling with ownership and acceptance. And my domain renewal was a not so gentle reminder that I have a voice . Seriously, you'd think by 48 that I'd have this figured out - nope - apparently not. However, I am wise enough to know that we have a choice to allow situations to harms us or make us stronger. I'm choosing to let this mid-life quandary make me stronger. And because of this, I'm setting goals, taking charge, and reexamining priorities. Movin' on...

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day ( that I thought I had planned ) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?
