A little more obsessed cardio flow moves l

I took unscheduled rest days, subbed in other exercise for a couple of cardio days here and there (River rafting is totally cardio, friends!) and, for the most part, threw the timed nutrition out the window. So I started with enthusiasm, stopped, started OVER again, stopped again, decided to quit, decided I didnвЂ™t want to quit, started again where IвЂ™d left off, and finally finished.

I got swept up in the excitement of a new year and a new program by the much-lauded Autumn Calabrese of 21 Day Fix fame. I wasnвЂ™t ready for this program in January. But IвЂ™m still proud of the accomplishment. I finished it, 259 days later, on September 30th. I started 80 Day Obsession with a couple hundred thousand other people on January 15th of this year. I just have to say that right off the bat. Interested in learning more about the effects of sugar? Check out these documentaries: Stay tuned for updates, resources, recipes, and more!

Sugary treats are nice every now and then, but LIFE IS SWEET ENOUGH without them. And if I want to make space for dessert every now and again, IвЂ™ll have to drastically reduce other sources of added sugar. I canвЂ™t eat the way IвЂ™ve been eating and come anywhere near the recommended intake level. Okay, okay, IвЂ™ll just drink waterвЂ¦.but thatвЂ™s still not enough.ДЄ tablespoon of strawberry jam on my morning toast? 10 grams.ДЄ fruity yogurt at lunchtime? 9 grams (and thatвЂ™s after subtracting the naturally occurring sugar in the yogurt itself).ДЄ serving of marinara sauce at dinner? 10 grams. My beloved San Pellegrino вЂњSparkling Grapefruit BeverageвЂќ? 34 grams.

Men should limit sugar consumption to 150 calories/36 grams/9 teaspoons. I started looking at food labels and counting grams, and I realized the extent of my problem.ДЄccording to the American Heart Association, women should limit added sugars to just 100 calories per day. Sugar is everywhere, in everything from pasta sauce to snack foods to supplements. ItвЂ™s cereal for breakfast, yogurt with lunch, a granola bar at 3:00 pm, AND dessert after dinner. ItвЂ™s not just dessert thatвЂ™s the problem. Cupcakes, cookies, pumpkin pieвЂ¦you name it!Д«ut when I sat down to watch the documentary Sugar Coated last weekend, I was reminded of the fact that most people, myself included, eat way too much of the sweet stuff.
