I’ve made it to nearly the mid-point of my 110 days of eating no sugar challenge. Here are all the stats you want to know before you possibly embark on your own challenge.
- Starting weight- 212.4
- Weight this A.M- 201
- Body fat %- down 3-4%
How do I feel not eating sugar?
I feel stronger. Stronger than you because you are weak and need sugar, unlike me who does not.
Kidding.
My no sugar victories:
- Increased energy (no crashes).
- weight loss.
- Clothes fit better.
- Skin looks/feels better.
- Less inflammation/soreness.
My No Sugar Defeats
- No Halloween candy
- No birthday cake (3 birthday parties and a christening. I’m saying no to the good stuff here).
And now for the big question: Why?
Vanity. I was asking my mirror who the fairest of them all was and…
No, wait. That’s not it.
Truthfully I’ve had the same waistline since high school and my clothing was starting to feel too tight.
No, that’s not it either.
My real why was inspired by a quote from famed motivator Tony Robbins.
I came across this quote after I’d begun. Something here resonates. The journey is uncovering something in me.
It feels good watching my waistline shrink.
It feels good noticing my skin and overall health improve.
Progress has made me happier. Progress creates confidence. Confidence makes me feel anything is possible. If I can control this aspect of my life I can control others: my workouts, my finances, my business. I can be the guy my Dog thinks I am.
Or maybe I can just be a little fitter, more energetic, with better skin.
And stronger.
Stronger than… 😉
