HOME STRETCH!

Bravo...we are officially on the home stretch and it feels a little bit like the end of summer camp when we were tots! This is really the icing on the cupcake that we have been fantasizing about filled with pinkberry and candy corn. The irony is that now that the lifestyle of no processed sugar has been integrated into the daily routine, I am questioning whether or not I can go back! I can't fathom using poisonous artificial sweeteners ever again or having sugar in my food simply because I am too lazy to pay attention to the ingredients. Just doesn't seem right now that I have drunk from the well of truth. It's like finally implementing global recycling and then taking it back because it's too much work! Conscientiously, not possible.

So, with that in mind, let's start to think about where we are going to go after we commence on Friday and how we would like to live after this challenge is over. This is not to undermine the complete sugar comma we will be putting ourselves in for Halloween eve at Serendipity, but after we get our "fill", what's next?

I challenge you to start making a lifestyle list of what you are willing to let go and what may not be possible at this point. Outside the comfort zone is one of my favorite mentalities, but living that way isn't always so easy.

November brings another challenge, so buckle your seat belts and get ready for your final FOUR days of SUGARBUSTERCHALLENGE 2008!
