Truly, I'm loving it.
I'm not afraid anymore of sugar because I feel it no longer has it's hold on me.
Woo Hoo.
I'd love to be sugar/sweetner free for life.
one baby step at a time.
seasons come and go.
I had sour cream on my chipotle salad tonight. but no cheese. I just couldn't say no to both. The lady had to think I was crazy. I said :"yes I wanted sour cream and cheese (knee jerk reaction, it's what I ALWAYS say" then I said, "no, no sour cream, no cheese, well, yes sour cream, no cheese" UGH!
I'm not concerned with dairy at all though I've been staying away from it until the sour cream and a tiny bit of butter in scrambled eggs. (I don't enjoy coconut oil eggs.)
Very minimal sugar. Yes, i had extra helpings of carrot apple salad at my uncle eds. it was sooooo good and I played the card, "I don't know if there is sugar in it or not and it looks so healthy, fresh fruit and vegetable)
Today i put mayo in my chicken salad which had sugar on the label. ugh.
Tomorrow is thanksgiving. I'm taking a paleo pumpkin cheesecake. I plan to stay on plan. my plan includes minimal dairy, fyi.
want to learn more about paleo. I don't like the no legume thing. I like beans. very much.

Day 2
Woke up grumpy! stayed grumpy for a while. yesterday had been so euphoric. Felt like maybe it was a bit of withdrawal induced grumpyness.
7:30 - 2 scrambled eggs, 8 oz water
10:30- 2 oz raw energy bar, 1 whole avocado with clove and garlic and olive oil, hot water with coco/almond milk and mint leaves.
looking forward to chicken and maybe eggplant for lunch

Thoughts so far
as much as I dislike abandoning all sugar, I love it.
It feels good. it feels right. I don't feel controlled by it. I wish I could live out the rest of my days sugar/sweet free but I know quite frankly it's not really a possibility at all. sad. hmmmm.
I know, I can do all things through HIM who strengthens me.
I realize all things are possible. but life sugar free. ya, not really possible.
I'm certain someday I'll look back and long for this day of good eating
which I realize is failure mentality right there. hmmmm.
I suppose with proper resolve and Jesus. or just Jesus. along with friends, fitness, etc. it could be done.
It'd have to be clear conviction which that it already is......
One day at a time. babysteps.

Day 1
Cold day. Freezing temps!
6:37-7:09 mostly brisk to slightly brisk walk about hunters glen and back. (ch. 2)
8-9am - about 2 scrambled eggs, couple handfulls of pumpkin seeds, 1/2 green pepper w/2 oz hummus.
10:30- banana
noon- 1.5 bowls parsnip chestnut soup, other half of bell pepper with another 2 oz hummus
1:30 - 1/4 roast beef, pomegranite seeds (1/3 cup?)
2:30 - finished 24 oz water, 6 oz coconut/almond unsweetened milk
4:30 - brocolli (small amount of dip) some apple slices
5:30- redskin potatoes with olive oil and garlic salt, london broil (oiled and salted)
6:00 - 1/2 apple with cinnamon, a spoonful of plain greek yogurt with raspberries and blackberries GROSS
8:00 - pecans
Feeling a little hungry
probably about 40 oz water for the day.
Day 1 is over. slight headache, most likely hormones. close to 5 pounds down but its water weight stuff obviously.
In bed by 10:30. Lights will be out by 11.

A new day
Today is Tim's 43 birthday. And its a beautiful day! I'm a bit suprised that i posted my weight on my last blog but I suppose it doesn't matter since the blog is not seen by anyone. something inside me still says to take edit it off. I like having a record though. i find it interesting that nearly 2 years later I'm the exact same weight. Will this be the weight my body will always try to get to? I'm also surprised that I wrote the wrong year in the last post.
Well, its a new day. I'm almost euphoric about it. Starting a 10 day or potentially 40 day detox today from grain, dairy, added sugar. Sugar is a drug and I'm clearly addicted. I'd like to learn more about "sugar sensitivity". I think GMO stuff contributes to MUCH of our health decline but it isn't all. The lazy way of living, the ease of food, blah blah blah. I really just need a place to record/journal food and exercise and this is the avenue that's gonna do it.
But while I'm here I'll do a quick catch up on life. Rachel is 7, is missing both her front two teeth, is very active though could easily be swept into a lazy lifestyle. She did wonderful in her 5 week long cross country for her school. She is a good runner with good stamina. Luke is 10, enjoyed parks and rec football. I'm certain foods slow him down. of the three I think he's most sensitive to food colors and sugars. Kathryn is 13.5 She wants to eat well but it's difficult. She's home sick today. There has just been too much halloween candy around. Camp desserts. ugh. I'd love for us all to eat really well but frankly, it feels impossible. school lunches seem the most scary. One day at a time. I'm feeling madly in love with my 43 year old. however I recognize the feeling changes, especially with hormone fluctuations. I'm thrilled about a new chapter in living well. Off to begin my journal
