It is the end of my 10th day of no sugar, no processed food, and no red meat or pork. It has been harder than the first 5 days. I have had moments where I want sugar so bad that I just feel miserable. But I am still going! I've actually lost 5 pounds at this point which is pretty cool. I needed dessert so bad tonight that I had to go to the store and buy pineapple for something, ANYTHING sweet. Most of my breakfasts have consisted of smoothies with a mix of strawberries, peaches, pineapple, blueberries, spinach, and whatever else I can come up with. I have been having some kind of grain for lunch like wheat bread or oats with peanut butter and/or wheat crackers with hummus. For dinner I've been doing chicken and some kind of veggie.
Oh! And I have been running one mile up and down hills and doing a 30 minute yoga session every day after work, and drinking plenty of water.
I'm feeling good, but it comes at a cost! Just tonight I had to turn down ice cream cake AND s'mores!!
It's a total trade-off, but I'm feeling a great sense of self control.
