Vacation from Sugar



So yesterday I felt inspired to do a sugar detox for a week. I haven't done one for a really long time mostly because I am a proponant of moderation and I've felt like eating just a little bit of sugar is better than trying to go off of it all together. A little can't hurt right? That's how Ive been thinking except for lately Ive been a little bit of an overachiever and have been going all out! The biggest reason that I want to cut back on my sugar this time is not to lose weight but to seriously just feel better.

Yesterday was a perfect example, I was feeling sluggish and a little blah and I thought maybe splurging and eating a couple donuts will help me feel better... but I was wrong. I realize that I often have this kind of thinking but sugar never comes through for me the way I think it should.

So even though it is more towards the extreme side.. I decided that I could use a little bit of extremism this next week! I am going to eat lots of fresh fruit with possibly some healthy goodies (such as homeade granola bars) . All of today has gone great and I'm feeling awesome.  I was tired from not sleeping well last night which always makes me feel especially needy for sweets but I stuck through. And now I dont have that edgy feeling after a sugar crash! So heres cheers to a sugar free week and feeling good. :D
