I made a podcast here about this topic but wanted to write a quick blog!

You may think you have an issue with eating too much sugar. You're not alone. Lots of people do. So what have you tried in the past? Cutting out sugar, right?

When I chat with people who eat too much sugar, I find...

A couple months ago, I was feeling kinda blah about our weekends because we weren't doing much. Sleeping in, and that was kinda it.

We decided to start hiking again. Nothing crazy. Nothing far. Just an hour hike here and there.

If you aren't tracking already, you need to start!

Why:
