    Day 16 and 17 done! The last 2 days were hard because I attended parties. I don't like exercising when very full but I managed to finish my challenges.

    So I went to do the sugar free challenge today and have had to reschedule for tomorrow. It's actually terrifying how much food has sugar in it!!! I thought I'd find this one the easiest challenge day but I can't even eat my granola for breakfast!

    Good luck everyone!

    I wasn't taking it as a day where you totally had to avoid sugar as an ingredient. I just thought you were to stay away from sweet treats as it says. I was about to ask for some clarification on that one, as to what qualifies as a sweet treat. I guess we need some direction on this one @MiamiSeoul.

    When you give us your outlook on this, please help me figure out if I pass for the day, if it is just avoiding sweet treats. The only thing I ate that might qualify as a sweet treat is 2 chocolate graham crackers. I did give up eating pineapple angel food cake, so I was attempting to avoid the sweets but don't know if I pass. Thanks.

    Good morning everyone, forgive me for being MIA; in a bit of a funk.

    I think days like this are different for everyone. You may have chosen the strict definition to avoid "sweet treats" (cookies, cake, pie, ice cream, candy, gum, etc.) or followed @Skipper111's lead & truly challenged your sensibilities by avoiding all sugar. I hope you examined where you were in your journey & did what was best to push to the next level. Remember, there is no right or wrong, only PROGRESS!

    GO GET YOUR GOALS!

    Thank you very much for the clarification. I hope you're doing ok?

    I think what i'm going to do is avoid sweet treats this time round like @lbenson2006. Especially this close to Christmas! Though I am going to try the 'all sugar' in January as I was so shocked by how much sugar was hidden in my everyday foods!

    I am running a day behind as I had flu so going to combine day 19 with my sugar free day tomorrow!!!

    NO sugar Is tough ... Gave it up once while doing a long body cleanse... Was an experience. Some have "withdrawal" symptoms, me included. It was great in the long run. I still can't stand most sweet foods, maybe a bite or two only.

    Having my off week... No time or energy to do much more than all the things that need to be done at hyper speed .... Could be considered hiit, feels like.

    Happy 20th day!
