Anyway, let's get to the fun stuff! How did my body like being without sugar for three weeks? After seeing the results, it is safe to say my body loved it:
So what's next? Well, the detox ended yesterday but I am still sugar-free as of right now. I like the way my body is responding to the lack of sugar, and I believe I will continue on this course and only have sugar when it is a special treat. I think if I can keep eating clean and really get back into working out, I might be able to hit my big goal.
Oh yeah, my big goal! I would love to be down THIRTY pounds by my THIRTIETH birthday! That would be from my starting weight of 178 which would put me down to 148. I will actually be happy around 150, but 28 by 30 doesn't have the same ring to it! ;)
It's going to be a LOT of work and dedication, but I'm motivated. One, I want to be back to a "non-overweight" weight range according to the BMI. Two, I want to fit into the bulk of my wardrobe again. Three, I am sick of being out of breath doing simple stuff. And four, and most importantly, I want to be in top fighting shape for when I get pregnant again. I do not want to have another pregnancy where I can't work out.
Plan of attack:
- Continue clean eating with extremely limited sugar
- Power walk for 45 minutes each weekday
- Crossfit on MWF for an hour
That will mean that I will be working out twice a day 3 times a week. While it is a bit intense, I really feel like it is the best course of action to get me to where I want to be in the time I have to get it done.
Anyway, if you are on the fence about trying the detox I say to DO IT. I am so happy with my results, and most importantly I feel a lot better. Wahooo!
Great job! It's so rewarding to see progress when a change like this is made.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I wish a lot more people spoke about sugar addiction.
DeleteAll my life I have struggled with an addiction to sugar. The more sweet things I ate, the more I wanted. I couldn't eat just one piece of something without wanting more.
Since learning about nutrition and glycemic index, my relationship with food has changed dramatically. I have learned that there are healthy alternatives to sugar, and I can still have delicious desserts and not feel deprived!
When out to dinner with friends and colleagues and they order dessert, I an no longer bothered seeing the dessert, because I know I can go home and have something just as delicious that won't spike my blood sugar and is even good for me!
I'm talking about having Guilt Free Desserts.
I bought the recipe book for $34.95 USD, which does seem a little overpriced at first... but it is totally worth it when you take a look at the amount of content that is in the Book. Probably the best $34.95 I have spent in a long while!
The recipes are so easy to do... And you don't have to feel guilty!
Here's where I bought my copy.
This might be what changes you & your readers relationship to sugar FOREVER.
It did for me...
