First Week = Complete!
Today marks 7 days of no sugar. No added sugar that is. So, (obviously) no cookies, cakes, ice cream but also none of my favorite vegetable stock (!), soup that I had opened prior to NYD or cereal. Instead, I’ve been eating MUCH healthier. Salads, homemade bread, rice + tofu dishes. Its been.. Nice? Fine? Dare I say… not so bad?
To satisfy my sweet tooth, I’ve been eating lots of organic dried mango (a favorite of mine from Nuts.com), raisins and peanut butter. I also have yet to go to WholeFoods this year to explore what exciting sugar-free options they have. I got a gift card from work so I’m ready for that guilt-free-sugar-free shopping trip. Eventually, I plan to get a little creative with dates, bananas and applesauce and see what type of baked goods I can produce.
A High Level Look at My Sugar Free January this Week:
The last week has been: Super Easy – Easy – *In between* – Hard – Incredibly Hard
My mood has been: Fine, not overly excited but okay. (its the first week back from 11 days off though)
My sleep has been: Not so great. I have been having LOTS of anxious dreams (nightmares maybe?) but I DO sleep through the night.
One thing I learned was: Find things to do in your downtime and you won’t eat so much! I’ve been playing a lot of drums (New Years Resolution #1) and video games with my brother.
Today, I’ll be at a friend’s 30th birthday all day so wish me luck.
On to sugar free January week 2!
