    It's really hard to go an entire day without refined sugar! I have reduced the amount of sugar I'm eating by a lot but eliminating it completely is very hard because it's hiding all over the place!

    Went grocery shopping today to kick off our challenge of not eating refined sugar. What did I learn? There is refined sugar in everything! Even things you would image would ever need sugar! Reading those labels is super important!
