We are Struggling

This is the end of our second week of no-added sugar. Claire feels like she is going to die. We are both having a very hard time sticking to this diet; Claire finds this diet to be a much greater challenge than being vegan, whereas Sarah disagrees. However, Sarah has done this diet in the past, so it is not as much of a shock to her. Friday we attended a pilates class, the first time ever for both of us, and it was very draining. It was one of the hardest exertions of physical fitness we have ever done; the slight movements over time built up to an extreme workout. We both felt incredibly tired after, it was a little weird because neither of us were sweating by the end but the workout was extremely difficult! It was a lot of muscle toning, which our bodies are not familiar with. I guess that goes to show that, even though we are both physically very fit, this challenged parts of our bodies that were not used to the activity. We understand that being healthy is much more complex that simply eating healthy, and even though this is more difficult than we were expecting, it is a welcome change for the better!
