I’m a couple of days past the halfway point of my No (Added) Sugar Challenge that I’m undertaking for the month of February, so it’s time for another video update (if you missed it, you can watch my first update here)!

30 Day Challenge: No Sugar
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about stepping away from my scale for a little while to work on disconnecting my self worth from my weight.
