Week 3 Progress Report

My last day of the 21 Day Sugar Detox is Sunday, but I will be out of town and have today off so...perfect time to update! This week I have seen the biggest drop on the scale. From Day 1 to Day 19 I have lost between 5 and 6 pounds. 
Taking a body selfie is not easy! 
Day 11 vs Day 19
I don't see a huge difference but I keep reminding myself that weight loss and toning happens all over! I think my face and thighs have trimmed down and maybe a little around my waist line. This morning at my workout my trainer goes, "Good god you look different!". So maybe it is just because I look at myself everyday that I don't notice changes as much! 

My most frequently asked questions so far:

Do you really not crave sugar anymore?
Hahahaha. No. I think about it all the time. Exhibit A:


BUT I can live without it! If I wait long enough and drink enough water the craving passes and I move on. 

What do you do when you go out to dinner?
That has only happened once and I just ate before hand. I read in Diane Sanfilippo's book to order meat and veggies with the least amount of ingredients listed as possible. So that is something to consider. 

Are you ever hungry?
No! Not at all. There is a difference between being hungry and wanting to eat. I am slowly learning my body's signals by asking "Ok am I really hungry or am I thirsty? or bored? or stressed?" If I follow my meal plan perfectly, I feel satisfied at all times.

 My plan is to follow this regimen for the next two months before I go to Europe. Please pray for my will power and stamina! 
Can y'all tell I'm obsessed with motivational sayings?

I've gotten such positive feedback from my last post! I cannot express how happy the texts, messages, and Facebook comments made me! What a great community I have surrounding me! I have had a lot of requests to post a clean eating grocery list. There are a ton you can find on Pinterest or in any paleo book you buy. Here are just the basic things I get on my weekly shopping trip. **Keep in mind with meat, poultry and seafood: look for grass-fed, free-range, or wild-caught. Sometimes I have a hard time finding them, so just do your best!  Meat/Poultry/Seafood: Grass-fed ground beef Chicken drumsticks or thighs Salmon Tilapia Bacon  Dozen Eggs Vegetables: Broccoli Cucumber Zucchini Squash Bell Peppers Jalapeno Brussel Sprouts  Spinach  Leafy lettuce Onion Tomato Avocado Fruits : Green apples Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) Lemon Other: Egg White protein powder Olives Olive oil Coconut oil Coffee Yellow m...

Atomic Habits Bullet Points

 CH 1: 1% analogy- focus small Progress- an ice cube doesn't melt, even when it heats up from 20-31 degrees, that one degree makes a difference, however, the other 11 degrees weren't wasted effort, they were stored progress/potential Plateau of Latent Potential - where most people give up- right on the cusp of success Forget Goals- focus on system instead The goal takes care of itself when the systems are in place Goals met are temporary and at odds with long term progress (yo-yoing)
