I was actually surprised it wasn't more.
On the bright side, my push-up numbers started to make a comeback, though not all the way yet.
I wanted to eat everything today. As I anticipated, committing to joining Melissa in her sugar fast had to save me a thousand extra calories today - especially since there are still Christmas sweets around on the kitchen counter and I have a drawer full of chocolates in my home office. I even managed to say no to free donuts (my favorite kind!) at a Chamber event this morning.
My mind was still relatively sharp today. I drank some electrolytes in the afternoon and continued to avoid coffee (and caffeine in general) to keep it that way.
I spent the morning nibbling on various things but after lunch I decided to commit to making sure I was genuinely hungry by dinner time. This created a bit of afternoon boredom - but I know better how to deal with it now while avoiding finding entertainment in snacks.
Overall, the fast reoriented my relationship with food in very positive ways. I will be curious to see if I drop another couple of pounds over the next two weeks of the sugar fast.
