Day 13
It's Saturday. How is your day gonna be? I had a banana this morning, which of course has a lot of sugar (15 grams to be exact). But I then followed it up with 60 minutes of vigorous exercise so I used it all up. All good. That's the way it should be. If you're gonna put sugar in your body, use it. Otherwise, skip it!!…
Day 9
How did you do today? I think I did really good. I'm at 25g for the day. This is the first time I was UNDER 30. I'm not eating much fruit right now. But that's ok. I'm supplementing. Long term, this diet wouldn't be good as there is too much good in fruits and veggies that Im avoiding right now because of the sugar. But…
Day 11
Well, somehow, even with having a little bite of the Big Ear Bunny, I ended the day a 26 grams of sugar. Not sure how that happened. But I'll take it! I had a lot of protein today. I did a boot camp workout, so that will help. Even after eating dinner I'm over 800 calories UNDER my goal (exercise adjusted). I literarily…
Day 10
Hard work and self control is paying off. I'm down 2lbs since April 1st! (and that's no joke!). Keep up the good work, don't put that cookie/chocolate/cake/muffin/ice cream etc in your mouth today. Make today the day you are 100% sugar free!!
Day 8
Sorry I was MIA this weekend. I got the flu or food poisoning or something. It started Friday night, I was in bed all day Sat and Sun. Threw up a couple of times. The good news is I didn't eat much. But I was sipping Gatoraid. Anyway, I'm back 100% today. Got a good 90 minute workout in this AM. Ran 3.5 miles and did…
Day 5
Well, I tried to make a healthy smoothie for breakfast. I blew my SUGAR right out of the park. Protein Powder 1/2 cup of almond milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 of a Yoplait Light Yogurt 5 frozen strawberries 263 Calories 18 Grams of Sugar I guess I have to be really light the rest of the day. NO sneaking chocolate!
Day 4
I will admit that I snuck a little bite of chocolate yesterday and didn't log it!! Ok, now that I've aired my sins!! As of this AM, I am down 2.5lbs from Monday. That could very well be water weight, but I kinda think it's not. I've been really sticking to my calories and my sugar consumption has been way down compared to…
Can't get back on the wagon!!!
UGH! I am so frustrated..... I knew I should have never indulged in easter sweets! Now I can't stop ....AGAIN! You can liken this to a recovered alcoholic trying to stop at just one drink. I have to get my mojo back! Maybe I should fast for a day. That usually helps.... if I can stop stuffing my face long enough that is!…
Day 3
No major sugar cravings, but I was up into the wee hours of the morning and am tired. Fatigue can lower my willpower. In addition, sugar gives me energy, so I reach for it when sleep-deprived. Not today I hope.
Day 2
Today will present a major challenge, there's an event for which someone buys several bags of cookies. I regularly consume hundreds of sugar calories on the day of this event and the following days, eating the leftovers. I intend to resist them this time. BTW, someone in my family is having a birthday dinner at a…
