No sugar, No flour

Mike and I decided that we would go without sugar or flour for a while. We both have some baby weight to get rid of and needed more energy. We are 20 days in and we both feel great! I am rather suprised because I only ever ate wheat bread and hardly ever had sugary snacks. But, I definately see and feel a change. I can't believe how much I am getting done and how much less hungry I am.It really is amazing. My body tells me to go to bed at a decent time and 6 am isn't a problem anymore.I am more patient and happier.
Granted I have had an awesome couple of weeks. I have been to the Temple more and even got to go with the youth in our ward. The next day I received the call to work with the Young Women (Beehive Advisor) as my new church calling. I am so excited! Tomorrow is the General Relief Society Broadcast too. It has been an amazing month for me all around.
On a more temporal note...Mike has lost 20 pounds and I have lost 7. We both still have a ways to go, but I am so glad we are on our way. I will hopefully stay with my new diet even after I reach my goals. I don't want to lose this feeling, but I will probably indulge on a treat or two every so often. After I reach my goal though. I can still have potatoes and rice so who can complain right?

 I hope you all are having an awesome week as well. General Conference is coming up and I am terribly excited for that too.
