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 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 »
Day 3….whew…nobody is dead
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 »
