Today begins my candy challenge!

Full disclosure here... I love sugar.  In fact, I love every food that is bad for me from candy to chips to ice cream!  This time of year is particularly tough for me with Easter candy. I love jelly beans and Cadbury mini-eggs, they are my absolute favorite! Each year, I look forward to when the Valentines displays roll over to Easter because that means, mini-eggs are coming!

Because I overindulge in sugar and candy at this time of year, I have decided to give up sugar for Lent, starting today. I am going to miss my Starburst jelly beans and Cadbury mini-eggs, but I am committed to getting healthier this Lenten season and eating better. I am looking forward to getting back to the food basics and hopefully, having more energy for those early morning workouts!

And, so 40 days begins today. So long candy and mini-eggs!  I am going to miss you, this will be hard, but I am looking forward to the challenge!
