Sugar, Sugar

As I continue on my mission to a leaner and toner body, I have decided to cut down on the sweets. I type this as an impulse shopping bag of peach rings sit on my kitchen counter.
It actually hasn't been as bad as I thought. I've never been an obsessive sugar freak but I have my objects of affection like Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie, soda, and Chick-Fil A sweet tea. OMG! Chick-Fil A sweet tea is the absolute best! But I haven't had one in over a week which is awesome for me because the food court is adjacent to my store. I've opted for water a lot more these past couple of weeks and my skin has reaped the benefits.

I've been doing well with the lifestyle change. I am on day four of my body cleanse, I've been sticking to my workouts, and I'm eating the right things. Limiting not only sugar but salt also, even though I never was one to add table salt to anything. Brandon and I went grocery shopping yesterday and loaded up on fruits and veggies. A lot of easy to prepare breakfast foods so I can grab and go and stay out of the food court in the morning. Chickn Minis are the devil! Of course I had to get B's impulse snacks; Doritos, Lucky Charms, Capri Sun, whole milk for the Lucky Charms. I prefer soy milk and he hates it. I'm also trying to watch the calories and the worst is my Syntha-6 protein post workout. 200 calories per 1 scoop but 23g of protein. I'm bad because I preach about how you take protein for results and not taste and here I am with this high cal stuff. I even ventured out and made a smoothie. Protein, soy milk, mixed berries, flax,yogurt, and ice. It was yummy and filling. I'm really thinking about adding Pilate's to my program.
Below are ladies that inspire:
Allyson Felix

Fergie
And of course who isn't inspired by Beyonce

I'm open to any and all suggestions with help on reaching my goal. :)
