Back from sugar land

Posted ravengirl on August 2nd, 2009 | Filed under Somewhere in between...

I slipped back into my sugar zone…it was really sneaky…it starts with the “justas”  justa bite of this white flour thing, just a small cookie here, just an ice cream there and pretty soon..it is 3 cookies, 4 cookies, more diet soda (which always makes me want more sweet stuff)  We were away at a cabin at the beach for 3 days and ate every day, though, breakfast and sometimes lunch was still on track.  I have also been having problems with my plantar fasciitis and that has been bothering my knee as well.  We bought me a new bike because the walking has been killing my foot but I think if I switch completely to the biking that will kill my knee so I have to find a balance (always…the elusive balance…)  I am Day 3 into my sugar detox and feeling loads better than yesterday.  I was headachey, felt like my body was made of lead, and had a raging belly ache…yeah…tell me again that sugar isn’t a drug!  I am also going back to RR and the potato, I am just also calorie counting and cutting the size of the potato I am eating, also I am nixing the butter and using spices and a little no cal butter spray. So, we will see how things shake out.  I am learning a lot of things about myself…I think I used to consider myself a little shallow, I never really thought much about deep thoughts…I am moving from being a puddle to a lake… :)  I am delving deeply into meditation and have been using mantra and self analysis…self awareness.  I have been reading and watching a lot of Cesar Millan, he is helping me in more ways than just how to handle dogs…if you listen…he can teach you how to handle your life as well!  My weigh in a few minutes ago was 165.  So, I am re committing…I have an app on my ITouch to help me track calories and I am also doing the paper food journal for RR.  Hopefully this is the beginning of the road to health.
