21 Day Sugar Detox Recap

So my goal was to manage:

#1 Sleep
#2 Mood swings
#3 Definition.

For starters, I cheated. A few times. BUT, I think it maybe will help bring light to my goals... Basically, I had alcohol three times, a few sugar cured pork breakfast items, and disgusting powdered egg meals that were probably cut with gross things. Otherwise, I was as super strict as possible. No fruit whatsoever, no nuts, and no intentionally added sweeteners. I did have white potatoes quite a bit, but I work out a lot. Should be okay...

SLEEP:
Well, combined with getting an AC in my apartment, good! Less "restless" nights, laying in bed staring at the ceiling for an hour (or back of my eyelids, totally not sleeping). So I might consider this a success for that.

MOOD SWINGS:
Here's the tricky one. Still having mood problems. I crashed pretty hard this weekend. BUT, I cheated with my 4 tequila drinks on Saturday, and crashed on Sunday... Coincident? Otherwise, I did still have quite a few mental noshes, really bad after the grossed processed foods while traveling for work. Again, coincident? I think maybeeee not.

DEFINITION:
I have to compare my pictures, yet. From what I can see doesn't look much different...

OTHER THINGS NOTED:
I ate a lot of food. I craved salt. I was pretty gassy. But I didn't poop as much. Weird, I know. You probably don't want to hear that, but it's super true. My skin broke out really bad when this first started, but it's cleared up a lot and is mostly clear now.

I feel like I successfully kicked a dependence on nuts and fruit as a daily snack. Of course, it helps that my CSA is overloaded with tomatoes and that was a pretty daily snack for me. I've gotten better about the protein (HB eggs) at snack time, and cut back on some of the mindless eating around my house (carrots and almond butter). I still love my carrots, though... And I will bring nuts back into my diet now. Maybe just not so heavily. As for the fruit, I don't think I'll buy any or depend on it for snacks. If it's there as a dessert I will have some, but keep it under control. As for the alcohol... I'm sure I'll drink again, haha. But I will definitely keep track of the mood swings after. OH! And dairy! I forgot all about the fact I gave up dairy for 21 days, ha! Well, I'm sure it slipped into quite a few of the processed crap I ate while traveling, but for the most part I didn't eat it. I will add butter back in. And cheese when I'm out and it's there. Otherwise, I don't think I'll buy it. Which I really haven't been anyway for the past month, maybe more. But I do miss it.

PS- I want coffee. Really really bad. I don't usually crave coffee, but giving up coffee and black tea (mostly; I still did drink a few times), realllyyyy makes me crave it when I smell it now. Oh, and I had mad cravings for breads when I could smell it. Weird. Probably my body running on mad ketones (maybe, I'm just assuming) was like WOAH easy energy. But I didn't cave. But I could go for a glazed donut...

Pre-21 day sugar detox!

So, last day with sugary stuff, and only because I had a watermelon cut up in the fridge already and I can't just let food go to waste. And I figured since it is my last day I would top it off with a nice glass of Malbec :)

Anywho, my diet generally consists of an omelet in the morning with veggies and some kinda fat, depending on if I'm on a bacon or avo kick. I used to always have cheese in my omelet too but I gave that up about three weeks ago. I'm trying to kick dairy all together and I've done a pretty good job cept this past weekend I had two cheese burgers. No big. I eat this pretty early, 6ish on Wednesdays and 7, 730ish most other days

Snack usually comes around 1030, 11. Unless I'm slammed with work and then I'll just eat lunch at 12. But snacks usually consist of some dried fruit and nuts. I was really good at doing HB eggs for a while, and I need to get back to that. I gots a dozen I'm gonna boil up tomorrow.

Lunch is whatever meat and veg I have in my fridge. Right now veg comes from the CSA weekly pick up. When I had lots of greens I did salads. Meat is generally chicken or sardines. Sometimes I go crazy and get beef or salmon or tilapia.

Afternoon snack/late night snack is usually carrot sticks or banana chips and almond butter. A lot of it. I am way obsessed. It's a bit of a problem.

Dinner looks like lunch. Lunch looks like dinner. Sometimes I have a glass of wine with dinner.

At least once a week we eat at Pork Chops. Generally I do a half chicken with dry veggies (broc, cauli, carrots). I'm sure the seasonings on the chicken aren't paleo. But GOD it's good. Wednesday nights when I'm on the Island I go out for dinner. Although lately I have been buying Perdue shortcuts and a bag of steamed veggies (same broc cauli and carrots) with some avo and olive oil. Typically I go out one night a weekend, and will have my fair share of vineo. And then go home and crush some carrots and almond butter. Problem, I know.

So here's my plan.  No fruit, sugary things (honey and maple syrup basically), wine (booooo!!), and no nuts. Nuts aren't included in the plan, but I'm cuttin em out anyway.

TODAY!
3 eggs, 1/2 summer squash (about 3/4 cup), 3 tbs olive oil, chives
3 strips bacon, 1 sausage link, 3 pieces pineapple
4oz salmon with jerk seasoning, 1 cup watermelon
1 scoop trutein
4oz Perdue shortcuts grilled chicken, 10oz steamed broc, cauliflower, carrots, 1/2 avocado, 1 tbs olive oil
5oz Malbec

BRING IT!

21 day sugar detox! 

So, I'm a day behind their little group thing starting, and I still have some watermelon in my fridge. And I just had some wine. And I still have to buy the book. So I'll be starting a few days, haha.

Basically, I've got a few things I'd like to manage.
#1 Sleep.
#2 Mood swings
#3 Definition.

The past few months my sleep has been crazy off. Some nights I'll get 6, others 9, some 3. Granted that's cuz my ass was out late that night doing things not meant for this blog, but still. Case and point ;) Some nights I legit cannot fall asleep. Mind will be racing with 800 things and I'm all hot and bothered. Well, that's cuz my cheap ass won't buy an a/c for my apartment.

Mood swings is an issue all women deal with. But I'm a total head case. My hormone levels are all whack, probably because I lift too much weight and my testosterone levels are killing the rest, but no worries I still have all of the working parts. And I'm hot.

Which brings me to my last point: definition. I'm up to 144lbs. Overall, good. I've needed to get weight back on my bony body. I'm at a good comfort level with it, although I just broke a zipper on a pair of pants today. Granted the pants are old and kinda cheap, but nonetheless, I'd still like to lean myself out a bit and rock out some defined abs.

Far as I can tell I'll be giving up fruit, wine, dairy (which I already did), honey/sweeteners, and nuts. I don't think nuts are included, but Juli Bauer gave em up and I idolize her. So I'm gonna follow suit and cut them out. Then divulge in them when this is over. Because I could make love to a jar of almond butter. Sorry, graphic, but deal with it.

3.5 mile run. Not sure time. Maybe 35 min? Ran faster than I should have for a recovery run, but I was in the zone :)

4pm Class at N-Raged


WOD: 5rft
- 15 walking lunges with bar, into strict press
- 1 min jump rope

Weight: 45lb bar
Result: 13:00
Notes: Tough! Cool! I switched from back rack to front rack, mostly bc of my shoulder. Figured out about half way through to use the step up from the lunge to go right into the press (like a half thruster...). Ended on a double under. Bam.
