Two days of detox down and I could not be happier.
I love not having sugar. I feel free. I see cookies and it's not even a tempation
because it's predetermined, it's decided, i'm not going to have it.
The cravings appeared to stop instantly. My sugar levels have been very balanced.
I biked to the Kroc today and swam for half hour and biked home.
My legs/knees/ankles are sore and I may never bike it again but I'm glad I did.
11+ miles biking total.
Made a shake tonight with a little heavy cream, some half and half, 3 bananas, cocoa powder, teeny bit of vanilla extract, organic natural peanut butter, ice cubes. It looked JUST like the chocolate frosty the kids were eating.
blah blah blah, nothing really worth noting other than to say, I'd like to go the rest of my life without sugar.
I'm much happier without it.
I hope I stay "dry". I couldn't even be a social "drinker".
side secret story - a 'friend' spent the weekend in jail cause of a repeat offense DUI. the friend knew they had an alcohol addiction but thought they'd be able to socially drink. truth is, I'm thinking they should stay dry for life. and it hit me, I should probably stay "dry" (sugar-free) for life. I don't think i can handle it. A little taste one day, seems so innocent and it's only time till lunch is cookies and dinner is brownies. Freedom comes with boundaries.
I thought of this yesterday when i went to see my son at the playground and he seemed a mile away in a far far corner with friends by the fence. Clear boundaries allow for freedom to enjoy the whole playground. I've heard how kids on playgrounds without boundaries all stay closer in and don't venture out because the boundaries aren't clear.
blah blah blah, enough for now.
I'm very happy.
