How Good?

Today's helpful tool in this sugar-free quest that crossed my screen this morning is a new app that helps you shop. Boy do I need this. Making food judgements in a grocery store is super hard for me – considering I don't spend much time in them. This app looks like something worth trying, . . . → Read More: How Good?

Beat It!

Over the weekend several people have joined the 10,000 step/beat sugar challenge. I'm in the gearing up phase – yesterday that meant finishing all the chocolate hidden in the freezer.

I brought my Q score (a measure of overall progress) from what thought was an amazing 61 – to – get this: . . . → Read More: Amazing Day!

Food Journey

This morning driving to Koko for a cardio and yoga session, I had a great opening line for this post, but now, back at home, after having my banana pudding mid-morning snack, this is the best I could do:
