Monday, October 16th.
So this was an interesting past 5 days. After giving up sugar, alcohol, and red meat on Wednesday, October 8 and let me tell you the challenges and the easy parts of my experience so far:
Easy:
- easy to say NO if you are paying for things (wine, dessert, red meat) Your bill is SO much CHEAPER!
- easy to see HOW MUCH SUGAR IS IN EVERYTHING (just go to the grocery store . . . its amazing!)
- easier to do if you go to bed early to not give into cravings
Challenges:
- not quickly grabbing sugar things that are in your house already
- cleaning up after making healthy items (juice, sliced fruit, etc) . . . just make time for it
BIGGEST CHALLENGE:
I got a virus this week and now have lost my voice. I wonder if it a result of detox from sugar etc. I know sugar negatively feeds a cold so "comfort food" is not good for you . . . anyone have thoughts on this?
Here is something I thought was interesting:
