Sugar Experiment

That Sugar Film

Its time to take up the journey again.  All my life, ever since I hit puberty, my body size, weight, shape, health condition has been an issue.  Its often been someone else's issue and I'm a rebel, so often  I won't play because it was their issue and I could live with it. (I inherited my mothers bitch streak)

So why am I banging on about weight?  Joisus woman its the most boring subject!

Well I'm not.  I'm banging on about health.  I don't feel healthy, and for the last few weeks I have been addressing this by hauling my heiny out of the scratcher at 5am three times a week and picking my sister up for the gym.

Shitty thyroids don't go hand in hand with rapid weight changes unless its upwards, so I don't make that the thing.

Last night I watched a movie. It was one I wanted to watch, and my bitch subconscious knew it was calling me, so I tried not to listen.

My sister finally convinced me to watch it.  The movie is "That Sugar Film" Now I know my denial is no longer acceptable.

Sugar is hidden everywhere.  I don't eat a lot of processed food, and the movie didn't tell me what I didn't know, but I have to own up to coffee (with sugar), gluten free bread (loaded with sugar), lollies (when hubby brings them home), wine (hey!  its good...nuff said) and not being fully aware and in control of bit and pieces.  There are other things, (Hell I just looked at my coconut water and its just been struck off my list of good foods!)

Today I decided to start an experiment.  I'm cutting sugar out of my diet.  That's the only change.  I will blog about it, I will vlog about it, I will measure and track it, read books about it, share what I learn, moan, bitch and share what it feels like and let you know what happens at the end of the month.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm diet averse, so be assured I still am.  I'm not averse to doing the best for my body. Now I'm a Nana, I need to be fit to keep up with the Grandys.

I'm sharing this, because its the last thing on God's green earth I want to do, and I think watching someone like me do it, might be as educational as watching a fit young healthy man.  Delete me know if you don't want to know.
