Honey
Hot chocolate, apple cider and fruit smoothies.
Banana bread
Waffles, pancakes, creeps, German apple pancakes, muffins for weekend Saturday breakfast only.
*treats are allowed as long as they were not made or purchased by us (so ward parties, Costco samples...)
Reward: Either $50 or a super awesome date night!
Goal:
Breaking my sugar addiction and to find healthy, alternative snacks.
Motivation:
As of 2012 I couldn't go a few hours without sugar. I ate cinnamon sugar toast for breakfast with chocolate milk and had as much candy as I wanted through the day. We'd also bake brownies, apple crisp, cookies and other sweets as evening snacks 1-2 times a week. Sugar is proven to cause obesity and diabetes. I love being healthy and recognise that I am extremely addicted to sugar!
I want my kids to be healthy and I realize I am their example.
Facts:
"Sugar is the food industries cocaine" It's addicting and it's not good for you.
"The average American consumes 150 pounds of sugars and sweeteners each year!" EW!
