I'm not the Expert, I'm the Experiment!
At the beginning of the year I embarked on Sarah Wilson’s ‘I Quit Sugar’ program. I had to be talked into it because I LOVE(d) sugar. It actually went surprisingly well and Hubby and I were both able to kick the sugar habit quite easily. Since then we’ve fallen off the wagon. Well, more like [...]
I love ANZAC biscuits and I was dreading missing out on them. Because, really, how can you make them without golden syrup? But I saw that Sweet Poison had done it, and fellow blogger Kylie from Octavia and Vicky even made a fructose free ANZAC slice without it. The trick is to replace the golden [...]
I’m going to confidently say that every Kiwi who has grown up in NZ knows what an Afghan Biscuit or Afghan Cookie is and that they probably can’t tell you why they are called Afghan Biscuits! These chocolatey delights are made using cornflakes in the mixture and are topped with chocolate icing and half a [...]
Yesterday we had a birthday party for CrashGirl’s 4th birthday. I love a good birthday party, and especially love decorating a cake. You can see previous birthday cakes here on the blog and you’ll get a sense of how much fun I have! So this year when it came to planning the cake, the big [...]
It’s time for my Monday Challenge Update. I have just finished week 7 and am heading into the last week of the I Quit Sugar program. I don’t think I would have got this far without a) the support of my husband who is doing this with me and b) the support of more than [...]
6 weeks ago I wrote a ‘Dear John’ letter to sugar and broke up with it. The distance between us has been good for me and I think it’s definitely over. 5 reason why I won’t take sugar back 1. I’m in control Sarah Wilson talks about her attitude to sugar after completing her e-book [...]
This week’s Challenge Update is brought to you today by a healthy dose of success and failure. I have just completed week 5 of the 8 week I Quit Sugar program and it was also the week where I brazenly committed to exercising at least 15 minutes a day for 7 days. Guess which one [...]
OK, so I’m probably sounding a bit cocky here! But I have to say that I think I’ve nailed this whole no sugar thing. CrashHubby and I are at the end of week 4 (half way!) and so far neither of us have suffered any major withdrawal symptoms. Nor have we threatened to bite each [...]
As I’m writing this, we have just returned from a 4 day trip to Mt Buffalo. It was hot and then it stormed on our last night – wet camp pack up, yuk! Regardless of the rain at the end, the whole family had a brilliant time. We enjoyed catching up with old friends, watching [...]
That’s right, I’m ready to give sugar up entirely! Well for the next 3 weeks of the I Quit Sugar Program anyway. CrashHubby and I are two weeks in and it is going remarkably well. Too well. I keep looking over my shoulder nervously, waiting for sugar to jump out and kick my butt! This [...]
