I've successfully survived the first 24 hours of this Sugar Detox. Yesterday's headaches were horrendous. I had an apple in the afternoon and it was perhaps the best apple of my life. Just thinking about its crisp sweet taste right now makes me swoon just a little.
Sorry... just a little fruit porn...
I woke up this morning feeling better than I have in months. I usually wake up feeling like crap and not rested at all. That wasn't the case today. So, perk number one of Sugar Free has been realized.
This morning's breakfast of Steel Cut Oats with Ground Flax Seed, blueberries and a splash of almond milk left a bit more to be desired. It was my first time with steel cut oats. They exploded in the microwave. #fail.
The pull of the Starbucks Vanilla Latte is hard to resist and I'm waning a bit. It's all I've thought about for the last hour. That, or a diet coke. But, I press on. I don't make coffee at home and I don't have any diet coke here. So, that helps. But, I have every intention of stopping for some black coffee on my way to an appointment later today. I'll be taking a packet of stevia and some almond milk with me.
Another thing that makes this 3 day endeavor a bit more endurable (is that a word?) is that I'm not alone in it. I have a couple of friends attempting this with me. It's not lost on me that I think my fear of failing them is probably greater than the fear of failing myself, which is actually kind of sad. But, I won't dwell on that. One issue at a time.
As of this minute I'm 24 hours down and 48 to go.
Cheers!
