New Update!

Hi Everyone!

It's so funny that I haven't updated this blog in over a year.  I didn't realize it had been that long.  I was basically in my own world, got involved in tennis, and running my household for the past year.  I am back and starting my journey again.  This time I am totally serious.  What makes this time different, you ask?  I had some tests done at the dr's office this past week and the test results came back that I have high triglycerides and elevated cholesterol.  I really don't want to start taking medication to bring it down so I am going to try eating healthier and exercising more than I already do.  I am cutting sugar!  YIKES!!  Yes, you heard it here.  I am no longer going to be the sugar-aholic that I have been known to be.  I will have a treat once in a while but not as much as I've been having.  This will be good for me.  I am almost done with day 2 of almost no sugar and I'm feeling okay.  I'm also trying to cut out white flour as much as possible.  I made whole wheat spaghetti with ground turkey tonight for dinner and everyone ate all of it!  This is not only going to help me but my family as well.
