We Quit Sugar
Day one – 3/12/2018 (Adrian) Hi, my name is Adrian and I’m a sugar addict. No really – I am, and today is day one of an eight-week program to quit sugar. I’m really motivated, but I’ll admit to large amounts of trepidation at the thought of it. But it’s here and I’ve started. Breakfast…
