Day 2 A Brighter Day

My office is having a "make it stick" thing as part of their health & fitness campaign.  Good. I needed some incentive to get back to the me that can fit into size 8 pants. I can't believe I used to think they were getting too big.  Now look at me, pushing out of size 18.  It's so depressing.  But that's another story and I'm done whining about it.  I just want to fix it.  So, I'm giving up all sugar & flour for six weeks.  Actually, all starches and high-glycemic foods and all processed foods even diet soda (god help me).  I'm going to get healthy again if it's the last thing I do.  And this time, I'm going to blog about it to help me "make it stick"!

Day 1 ended with a migraine.  The pain of going cold-turkey off sugar. Whew-that was really hard but I made it through alive thank you Rx.  I probably should have drank a lot more water too.  It may have been a coincidence as I am a seasonal migraine sufferer but the sugar withdrawal probably set it off. 

Day 2 woke up and almost jumped out of bed right at 6am.  Boy, that's a change from the groggy, please let me just stay in bed longer feeling I usually wake up with.  Waited for coffee until reaching the office and instead drank my 32 oz water bottle.  I have to try to drink 1/2 my weight in water in a day.  I am so incredible dehydrated!  My scale says 35.6%.  I won't say what the fat percentage is but let's just say, I could be carrying around another me made entirely of fat at this point.

FOOD:
Lunch another big salad of lettuce, spinach, broccoli, tomato & cottage cheese from the cafe salad bar.I live dangerously eating from what could be a germ infested nightmare.  I'm a germ freak as well.  And yes, I know there is probably some natural sugar in cottage cheese from the label but I took the better of two evils.  The chicken was covered in all sorts of spice and I didn't trust it not to trigger an allergy.  I'm allergic to pepper of all things.

Dinner was my most favorite healthy dinner.   Cabbage chili.  You've heard of it?  Boil lean meat, add crushed tomatoes and shredded cabbage, cover with water, add spices and boil.  Yum! and my belly is full!

I survived two days on an unprocessed, starch & sugar free diet and feel great!
