I am going sugar free for people affected by Muscular Dystrophy
I am 1 day sugar free to raise vital funds for people affected by Muscular Dystrophy!
John, 8 years old living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
17 days in
So of course I assumed that I’d drop lots of weight going sugar free but that definitely hasn’t been the case. 17 days in and I weigh the same.Tuesday. First week - it feels a bit easier
Ok, can honestly say I feel better than usual. Am really concentrating on upping the fresh vegetables and salads and basically no alcohol certainly helps. Am not going to weigh myself every day during the month ( we know where this madness leads us) but I will be conscious of how I’m feeling.Monday morning. Getting serious
Survived first weekend. Had to make some serious recipe adjustments to amend menu but scraped through. Tried a gin and tonic with zero sugar tonic which was not entirely awful but stuck to one.Walked down Acland St
Did not eat cake!!Day one
Usual breakfast. Muesli, yoghurt, fruit and cofeeNight before
I wish I could pretend I spent tonight seriously planning my sugar free month. I spent it going out for cocktails and enjoying an Indian feast. Sugar free starts tomorrow!I love a cake but I also like helping others. One month, sugar free, I can do it! !
I am going sugar free this September to raise funds and awareness for people living with neuromuscular conditions such as Muscular Dystrophy.
My fundraising efforts will give kids and adults with neuromuscular conditions access to specialised care, educational resources and support, better treatment options, stronger community ties, and direct services such as kid’s camps and adult retreats.
Please help me smash my fundraising goal by making a secure tax deductible donation today and by spreading the word on social media to encourage others to donate.
Thanks for joining me on this journey of making a difference. Together, we can make a significant impact and achieve remarkable results.
