Week and 3 days

It's been a week and 3 days without sugar and I gotta say its not easy! I did have 1 cookie twice this week but that's an accomplishment of its own (usually I have 3 or 4) 
I need to get more creative with my cooking! Prepare food I'm excited to eat! 
My latest is watermelon with feta cheese and spearmint- it's so damn weird it's yummy!
Any hoots I'd love tips from my lovely friends!!!
Since I've started this I have gotten out to run/brisk walk 3x as well (in addition to basketball)  I'm starting to feel old cuz my feet hurt so bad! I think it's that time in my life to either visit a pediatrist and get some inserts or go to a running store to get really fitted for sneakers! Any thoughts my friends? 
Have a wonderful Memorial Day!!

Sugar free journey

Day 2 and going strong. Friday was great I stayed away from sugar, had a juice of kale and citrus and went for a jog/run/brisk walk. Today went well as well... Even took a nice walk (to visit with my sis!! Added bonus) I find eating protein helps with cravings but I know time will truly fix it all! All tips are appreciated!

30 for 30

So I decided to push off my 30th birthday to next year. No its not a vanity thing...ok ok maybe a little...
You see, its just not convenient this year because of my crazy schedule.
An extra year gives me plenty of time to get some things accomplished. 30 things...I am sure I can add to the list...but I will leave it at 30 for now...
