I've been a bad, bad blogger! No update since day 6 of the sugar free challenge. My apologies to you all. I guess the reason I haven't felt a compulsion to blog the last couple days is because, well... I've felt great! I feel like my body has completely adapted to no sugar, no caffeine and no dairy. When I weighed myself this morning, I was down 10 lbs from Day 1 of the challenge. 10 pounds in 10 days! That's like biggest loser style weight loss! I figure it was my body's way of saying "Thank you for not feeding me junk!" And just an FYI... Amanda from Run To The Finish is going to be having another Sugar Free Challenge coming up! So do yourselves and your bodies a favor and follow her blog and sign up for the next challenge! I know I am, with no cheating this next go round.
I've absolutely loved the results of this challenge. My energy has been amazing! My endurance has also improved! I went hiking/climbing in The City of Rocks National Reserve, Idaho and I only had to stop and rest once. We hiked probably 5x the distance I normally hike while there and I normally have to stop and catch my breath more than a few times. I will have a City of Rocks post coming up soon, promise! I'm in desperate need of a new camera, so my pictures are very much lacking as of late (aka nonexistent).
Don't mind my sun burn/wind burn (and bad self photography, lol)
Now onto the really important issue... I restocked my peanut butter! Crisis averted! I know you were all panicking on my behalf, so you can relax now ;) I also want to wish some amazing Utah bloggers/runners good luck for tomorrow, it's the Utah Valley Half/Full Marathon! Go check out Julia, Ruth, and Alicia and wish them luck tomorrow!
And lastly... Just a friendly reminder about my giveaway! Deadline for entry is June 19th! I'm 28 followers away from giving away a Lauren Brooks DVD!! Spread the word, you know you want to win it!

Thanks, Haley! Looks like you like pb as much as I do!
Congrats on the sugar free success!
10lbs??? Nice job. I dont think I could be sugar free for 10 days. Really. I'd need some kind of menu to follow before I could even try. I'll consider it. I like the 10 lbs idea...... Maybe my abs would really show up then. :)
Congrats on a successful sugar fast! I wouldn't put too much weight on your 'cheats,' that's just the nature of the beast.
A few years back, I quit sugar and caffeine for a year. After the initial withdrawal I felt great and stopped craving it altogether. Your post makes me want to do that again (not for a year, though...). Congrats!
great job
10 lbs!!!! That is crazy! Congrats! I feel better too, but I only lost 3 lbs. I had cut out all soda and caffeine, but I added back in some Oregon Chai mix because I am trying to drink more milk and I hate the taste of milk. I made the chai latte my normal way and it tasted WAY too sweet...so that is an interesting sign! And I had some Swedish Fish yesterday and stopped at 4 because I felt like sugar overload was going on. So weird. This definitely made me rethink how I eat!
10lbs? that's awesome!!! Just found your blog!
