It has been no secret to anyone that in the last year since I quit drinking that I replaced the margaritas with salted caramel - ANYTHING - mostly ice cream, mass quantities of it, very late at night. So when a few friends were discussing and starting the 21 day SUGAR detox, I thought it may be the thing for me. I have been emotionally eating for 6 years, and in my quest to be fit I'm not achieving all my goals because my nutrition sucks. Bottom line, I can run to the moon and back but if I'm going to eat crappy then why bother? So I agreed to do this with a friend.
I got the book, I read it, I shopped, and today is the first day. I prepped some of my food, and had a successful day, but I'll tell you what. SUGAR is evil, I really feel gnarly today, a bad headache, and cravings. I knitted a ridiculous looking scarf tonight, just to keep my hands busy so i wouldn't mindlessly snack.
So I made it through the first day and other than a headache, and wanting to eat a can of cream cheese frosting, the day was a success, and I'm looking forward to getting the toxic sugars out of me.
I also got a Jawbone Up, and I walked over 12K steps, including the 3.2 miles I ran this morning. So let the detox begin and get this crap out of my body so I don't feed any cancer and I get to that 5 year cancer free mark in March!
