In the interest of Making it My Best Year, I chose to give up sugar for the month of January and replace it with more fruits and veggies. I planned in a few days that I knew I would have a treat (like my trip to Nashville for Influence Conference!), and gave myself grace instead of feeling guilty over a few other sugar indulgences sprinkled throughout the month.
