Sugar Sugar

Just before Christmas I noticed that when I stepped on the scale, the number staring back at me was not what I thought it should be, so I tried to step up my work outs. I have been really good about running 4 times a week 3-5 miles each time. I also started doing some strength training and trying to eat better - more vegetables, less processed food.

After a few weeks there was no change, still the same. I tried to tell myself that muscle is heavier than fat, but I wasn't fooling anyone. So I decided to hit up google for some answers. I typed in "rapid weight gain" apparently there are real conditions with this symptom - that are serious! I knew that wasn't the answer.

I continued to work out and watch the scale not change. One day at work I came up with the answer (maybe I should clue google in on this one) it is called, the holiday season and my weakness for cookies!

So (as I'm munching on a brownie) I am going to try to cut back my sugar intake for the next week. Starting Now!

It's going to be very hard - but I will report back.
