Okay, just because it has been 6 days since my last post does not mean I have fallen off the wagon. Far from it.
12 days in on this no sugar…no refined grains fast…and I am clean. Yup, not a single cheat. No sneaking a bit of a donut over the weekend, or a spoonful of ice cream the other night. I am rock solid my friend. 12 days…no problem.
Truth be told, my Achilles heal are baked goods…pastries. I am a donut lover. I do a lot of work in Panera, and the smell of bread and pastries is my temptress (sorry Hollister).
But, I am fine. I love the feeling of not being bloated and not feeling guilty after eating a bad meal. I am not sure if I have lost any weight, though I am sure I have not put any on. I have done some pretty extreme diets before (i.e Slo-Carb) and lost some dramatic weight. The problem is, with my frame, the first place I lose weight are in my face and clavicles, so it looks like I am sick…and it makes me look older. And, with a head full of silver hair, I don’t need to look older.
From a focus standpoint, it is nice noticing how often I think about wanting something sweet. It gives me something to look forward to, yet it never feels good after. So, without thinking about guilty pleasures, I put my attention elsewhere (like taking care of my son who is under the weather).
So I admit, nothing too exciting here…but that is life in the fast-lane!
