As you know, I recommited to myself and promised that I would do my best to reach my weight loss goal by November of this year. I’m also on a 21 day sugar detox to try to readjust my tastebuds to live without sugar and that means not eating anything with sugar or that’s sweet.
At first, I lasted two days, and the fudge in the kitchen called my name a little too loud and I had a piece. Two pieces to be exact. I knew what I was doing and no I didn’t kick myself for doing it, but rather than saying ‘forget it’ with the sugar detox, I started again fresh the next morning. It’s now been three days, and while I still miss sugar, I’m managing without it. I hope by the time this 21 days are over, I won’t crave it any longer.
In other news- I’ve been very good about not eating after 8, and I continue with that pattern. I haven’t started tracking my food yet on paper (or on the “eye phone”) but I will. (I have been keeping an estimate and close eye on what I have though, and I feel confident I’m staying within my calorie range.
I still haven’t got on the elliptical, but what I have done is been walking some in this weather. I’m really ready to get back on the elliptical, but I really want to get rid of this cough before I do, because anytime I get too warm, the coughing fits start. I hope that will be soon.
So that’s my start- I’ve increased my water and yesterday while I was out with Desere, I resisted cookies, chococcino and even the beautiful ciabatta bread that was served with my tomato soup at lunch. I wanted it, but in the end, I know that it isn’t worth it.
