Thus began my "winning" day. I ate all the right foods at all the right times, I sweat out toxins in boot camp, and most importantly, I haven't eaten any processed sugar, gluten or dairy all day!
While I might not be hungry, I'm desperately craving sugar. My sugar withdrawal was most obvious when, after dinner, Andy ate a piece of candy and I couldn't stop kissing him. He just tasted so good!
This will definitely be more of a challenge than I was expecting, which is why I'm thankful for you. In fact, today I fried up some bacon because I just wanted to eat something that wasn't a vegetable, but I knew I'd have to own up to you this evening, so I put them in the fridge for Andy to eat. Y'all are great motivators! (I did lick my fingers, though...wouldn't you?)
Truly, the Blood Sugar Solution is a fascinating read. Is it possible that we have put certain chemicals in our bodies that don't want to let go of us? That remain in our system and cause all kinds of problems in the here and hereafter? It's an issue worth investigating and considering with more than just a passing thought.
I'm interested to see what, if anything, changes in me over the next two weeks. I've heard these urban legends of barren women getting pregnant after "detoxifying" themselves...perhaps I'm being overly hopeful.
But...can one ever "over hope?"
Sharon, just checking in on you. Hope all is well ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt is. Sorry for my delayed response.
DeleteI was actually going to email you on Thursday with some gardening questions and ran out of time. Wednesday and Thurday (and the rest of today) I spent my time going to gardening centers and researching what flowers and veggies would be best to plant, but I'd like to do a small herb garden and I was wondering what herbs you'd recommend for cooking, baking, etc. Any thoughts?
Hope you've had a great week, friend!
I was getting a bit worried. Glad everything is alright.
ReplyDeleteBe careful of gardening centers in making choices. Every year nursuries here put out azalea's and hydrangea's to sell and they won't grow here. Wrong kind of soil, they like acid we have alkaline soil.
It's funny you mention herbs because I have a project for this summer involving herbs so I've been thinking about the same. Maybe basil, rosemary, oregano, taragon, parsley and sage. These herbs would certainly work with Italian food and also if you roast chicken. Do you buy any herbs from Penzeys? Try those if you do. I'm getting ready to go out and plant the squash and cucumbers. Do you get Gardener Supply Company catalog? They have many (maybe to many) ideas for container gardening. Good luck let me know how you come out.
