We're still doing low-carb tho not completely avoiding sugar and I've been cheating here and there but am still down 13 lbs from when I started. For exercise I only get to Zumba a couple times a week. I need to do more but can't seem to work it in right now. I'm trying to make prayer/Bible reading time a morning habit first then will add in other exercise (more than Zumba) later. Always something to work on - it never ends!<br /><br />Big now-in-addition-to-your-Homesteader's-Hutches-site-you'll-need-Homesteader's-Health size hugs to you!! :) Love you friend!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958936771590770427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-63198016953205363812012-02-15T16:14:44.248-05:002012-02-15T16:14:44.248-05:00Love it!

I wondered if you did sugar alternatives because I make a lot of things from Heavenly Homemakers site (like her butterscotch bars) when I need a little sweetening. I find I don't miss it once you are off of it for a while and I absolutely cannot stand cookies from the store and such. I like that you don't measure or count calories I learned that would never work for me. I need to cut down on my portions though because that is what gets me. Thanks for sharing your great tips!Extraordinary Ordinary Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232777722945061624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-84044086958883191012012-02-15T00:37:25.489-05:002012-02-15T00:37:25.489-05:00Such smart changes you've made.

My husband bought me a twin-gear juicer and I enjoy carrot/green apple/lemon drinks every day, as well as a "mean green" drink. I take four brisk 20-minute walks per day and use a pedometer so I know when I've gotten to 10,000 steps. That has really helped me a lot. Best of all, stopping sugar and processed foods makes me feel lighter physically and sharper mentally. By the way have you heard of Xylitol as a sugar substitute? It is sugar's mirror image and is very healthy, especially for your teeth. You can bake with it and use it in the same ways you used to use sugar. I wish you every success!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944766018173436353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-66748415850818425282012-02-14T15:49:34.427-05:002012-02-14T15:49:34.427-05:00Rejoicing with you, Kim!

This post comes at a good time, as my workouts have been a mental struggle. God is faithful and just need to keep leaning on Him and letting Him strengthen my resolve. Thanks, sister! BTW, I've had no sugar at all (well, maybe a little in my coffee creamer) and haven't missed it, but I do miss french fries. VERY much. Hopefully one day I won't.LauraLeehttp://faithcoloredglasses.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-35189213050478051032012-02-14T09:25:07.497-05:002012-02-14T09:25:07.497-05:00That's AWESOME!

We hit curves several mornings a week and workout with the funniest bunch of ladies you could ever meet! It helps to do it with someone. And NOT do it where your kids can laugh at you!

I admire your determination and appreciate the tips! <br /><br />Sugar hasn't been my downfall because we don't eat many sweets. Portion sizes are my biggest issue. It's simply been too much volume. And exercise is difficult with chronic pain issues, particularly when it hurts to walk. But I do what I can in that department, LOL.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-54339795719353642122012-02-13T20:32:39.566-05:002012-02-13T20:32:39.566-05:00Those German chocolate bites look really yummy!!! ...Those German chocolate bites look really yummy!!!
