Day 11….I don’t want to blog and I still want chocolate!

My chocolate addiction, will not be cured, in a two week sugar detox.  Your sugar addiction will not be cured.  BUT, awareness has happened and less sugar will be consumed going forward.  This weekend when we venture off the “detox”, most likely a headache will occur, not long after consuming too much.  I call them sugar  Read more »

Day 10…What replaced the sugar snack?

I have to confess, I have been eating tons of nuts, like cashews, almonds and pistacchio’s!!  Thankfully, they are a healthy fat!  However the quantity of them has increased, since I’m not grabbing for dark chocolate or other healthy snacks, that were higher in sugar.  Then times like now, I want to do the oral thing, munchie to  Read more »

Day 9….Life tends to not care, if you are on a detox!

Today was full of ups and downs.  Ironically, leaving a job interview, I got a call from one of my V.P.’s.  He was delivering news that I knew was coming one day……  My job was ending this Friday.  I thought I had another month and was trying to prepare, but that wasn’t the case.  I’m super grateful  Read more »

Day 8….Determination!

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts”. ~ Winston Churchill It takes a lot of courage and determination, to follow something through to the end.  Especially when you feel challenged.  If this were easy, we wouldn’t have millions of people addicted to sugar.  I commend you,  Read more »

Day 7….Are you still struggling?

This morning, I had only 2 tbsp, of frozen blueberries, in my shake.  No other sugars, other than what is in a tomato and cashews.  I have no urges and feeling pretty good.  Some of you are still having a hard time. This will happen if you were consuming a lot of sugar, prior to  Read more »

Day 6….Sugar what?

Saturdy is usually my cheat day, where I’ll have some kind of yummy chocolate cake of sort.  It didn’t happen and frankly didn’t miss it.  My boyfriend asked if I wanted cheese cake after our weekly pizza and I said no.  But that doesn’t tempt me, because I’m lactose intolerant. Later I was hanging with  Read more »

Day 5…Over the hurdle!

Got off to a little rough start this morning, with a stuffy head, from allergies.  Didn’t feel like I struggled today.  It definitely felt like I came out of a crazy fog.  Even having to deal with my computer, catching one of the worst viruses, I have ever seen or heard of.  I’m now doing  Read more »

Day 4…Chocolate and stress!

Last night, I only got up once, to hit the potty.  Not going to lie, took an extra muscle relaxor.  If I don’t sleep, I go crazy…lol  My dreams were pretty odd and woke up with a minor headache.  I made my shake and that got me going.  Went to the gym to workout with  Read more »

Did not sleep again last night, was up another 5 times, to hit the bathroom.  Really, I’m not kidding!!!  Tonight I’m cutting off my water to sipping after 8PM, and see how that goes. Also, woke up with a headache, that got worse.  Finally took a couple Aleve and just drank my water. I started my  Read more »

Day two is ending with 21 grans if sugar!  Proper planning with the no sugar in the house or a healthy substitute, however I’m not eating enough calories!  This is why I think it’s good to log in everything, when you are tracking something or making changes.  I’m coming up short on protein and carbs.   Read more »
