You may remember, I was pretty excited about this challenge. While aiming for the full 30 days, I diligently shared all my vegan meals during first 19 days. Following is how our Vegan Challenge unfolded according to our Instagram: The Day Before– All right, my shopping is done. My order from Thrive Market is on it’s way. I checked out copies of “Thug Kitchen” and “Idiot’s
Well, we didn’t just give up Facebook. For the past 30 days we haven’t used any social media(unless blog related,) or watched any videos. We haven’t spent time on mindless sites, or playing video games. We don’t know what the latest thing to go viral is, or the impending doom lurking around the corner. For the month of August, Page, myself, and a group of
If your first thought is, “oh, hell nah.” Keep reading, at least for a couple more paragraphs.

For our May 30 day challenge we invited our friends to join us in giving up added sugar for a month. Honestly, I didn’t think it would be that difficult, we already ate a diet that didn’t consist of much added sugar. I was getting these crazy sugar cravings every afternoon, so I knew it was time to cut it out, and reset. I put
No Sugar May starts this Friday. I am SO excited that we have people joining us in this challenge! Following are some tips on what to expect, and how to get ready: 1.

Your breads, crackers, sauces, deli meats, cured meats, cereals, condiments, packaged foods, prepared foods, peanut butter, frozen meals, flavored yogurts, dried fruits,and protein bars…contain added sugar. If you still aren’t on board think about it this way, look at your bread, how many grams of sugar does it have? Lets take this seemingly “healthy” whole wheat bread for example, it contains 3 grams of sugar per
Wellness Mama does an excellent job of thoroughly explaining the harmful effects of sugar. I love a challenge, particularly a food challenge. We are blessed to be able to make choices regarding the foods we eat. I’m done with sugar. Today my Mom said, “Amber I stopped eating sugar…you inspire me with your will power.” Oh my lawd.
