NOsugarVEMBER Week 1 has begun
Well, we are on the 3rd day of no sugar and I am sure that a few of you are struggling with the odd craving here and there. Rest assured, it does stop, as the sugar leaves your body, just like any other craving!
I want to introduce something new for NOsugarVEMBER this year. By cutting all of the sugar and refined carbohydrates out of your diet, you are sure to lose weight in the next 30 days, but I want to make sure you give this your best shot by challenging you to exercise 5 days per week.
This may mean attending outdoor morning training, morning or evening indoor training, training on your own on weekends, 1on1 sessions, or for those of you who are crazy enough not to use my services to get fit, you can use your current fitness regimen you have, but increase it to 5 days per week.
If anyone has any questions, please post them in the comments below and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
I also know a lot of people out there who are doing no sugar this month, but have avoided putting their name down. Please put your name down, it is very important. It will encourage you to stick with it and it will encourage others to get on the program. More people are likely to kick sugar if they see lots of others doing it, so please get your name on the list and make that commitment, no soft approaches to this month, we won’t try to give up sugar, we WILL give up sugar.
If you have something super important on in the month that you know you will break it, then let’s accept that and do your burpees, log your misdemeanour and keep it up for the rest of the month.
There is another option to paying your penalty also. If you eat sugar on 1 day, you take that day times 2 in December. So if you eat sugar once, you go through until the 2nd December, if you eat sugar twice, you go through until the 4 December etc.
Hannah and I may eat some sugar on our daughters first birthday, but we have made the commitment to go through until the week of Christmas.
So, get more names on the list, hit me with any questions you have and even put your name down if you are just giving up 1 form of sugar. It all counts!

Confession: Yesterday i went to the races, and there wern’t many healthy food options. I thought ”flathead with chips” sounded the healthiest but then realised the flathead was battered not grilled and there was no salad option but bought it anyway (& regreted it imediately). So i’ll extend my sugar fast till 2nd of december
Also i realised that my ”greek yogurt” which tastes sour, has 9grams of sugar per serving! what the??!

I am going to give this a go! I did have a small glass of wine with dinner tonight but will try to keep on the straight and narrow now! Not an easy challenge…..but better to start somewhere than nowhere!
