I did something I’ve never done before.
I jumped off “the healthy wagon.”
I am proud of myself for it.
Well not the jumping part... and lets me honest, I've done that before.
I went 4 weeks with no sugar. Then had a really “bad day.” I
ate some ice cream and some other stuff.
It was triggered by a really crappy band day (that hooker was zipped
tight.) So I talked to my Dad about our bet and was allowed a small reprieve to
help soothe the Lady.
I know I should have reached for a protein shake, but know
what? I haven’t been able to find one that doesn’t have artificial sweeteners
in it, and honestly my allergy to them is getting worse. Last time I drank a protein
shake it made me feel worse than I have ever felt before. So I am working on that.
Anyway, that isn’t the BIG DEAL.
The big deal is, I didn’t let it flow over into today. I
contained the mess to yesterday and today I am right back on track. Registered
for crossfit for tonight and I am sugar free so far today.
Who is a badass mother? This girl.
unflavored protein powder doesn't have artificial sweeteners! mybariatricpantry.com carries it, if you can't find it elsewhere! Post surgery I would mix it with chicken broth or tomato soup or juice :)
ReplyDeleteYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!! So much love for this post.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about doing what works for people -- if that worked for you then great! do you have a reaction to stevia? For some reason Splenda gives me a problem but sweet-n-low is okay for me and stevia (which is a natural sugar free sweetener) does not - i try and carry stevia packets with me. Splenda gives me pretty bad muscle pain - weird. If stevia doesn't bother you maybe you can make up your own protein shake w/ some protein powder, stevia, and fruit or coco -- whatever flavoring you want....for those days you want a protein shake and don't want to do ice cream :D
ReplyDeleteThat's AWESOME! Usually when I fall off it's for 3-4 days (and up 3-4 lbs) after "just one" day-long sugar extravaganza. You're my hero!
