As my 2nd week of sugar free January comes to a close, I can say I’m feeling better about the whole thing and am certainly continuing to learn about myself.
I will confess, last Saturday we were at a friends birthday and they catered pizza and salad which I ate (there was likely sugar in the pizza dough and blue cheese dressing). I actually HAD brought my own protein bar but the host came up and asked if there was anything else she should order for me so I wouldn’t have to eat “some weird grilled cheese thing”. But, I didn’t eat any of the plethora of desserts, I consider it a win overall.
What I Ate This Week
I haven’t ventured TOO far from my typical meals but 3 things really made my week better:
- Dried mango (Nuts.com and Trader Joes)
- Sugar Free Banana Strawberry Cake from Fermenting Foodie
- Vegan Chickpea “egg” salad wraps! Will post a recipe eventually…
A High Level Look at My Sugar Free January this Week:
I’m continuing to stick to the mantra: stay busy and eat less (which is my favorite way to be!
The last week has been: Super Easy – Easy – In between – Hard – Incredibly Hard
My mood has been: Better than last week! I’ve been sleeping a bit better, watching less TV but playing more video games.
My sleep has been: Better than last week!
One thing I learned was: I’ve been the reason we’ve eaten out so much in the past few months! Now that its harder to eat out, we haven’t ordered takeout at all!
Weekends are the hardest for me but if I stay busy, they’ll get a little easier.
