Anyone else out there already feeling better? Other than having to pee every thirty minutes (TMI?), my body is already thanking me for cutting out the sweets. That's not to say they aren't still calling my name... oh, they are calling alright. But there is something exciting about knowing my willpower is stronger than the deliciously sweet call of that bowl of ice cream I'll only regret eating.
Just to add my two cents to the sweet tooth cures, I've found that frozen applesauce does the trick. I buy the single serving no sugar added kind. Plus, you sort of have to chip away at it as you eat it, so it takes time and focus. :)
As for the hot cocoa, I substitute with steamed milk. I'm guessing you could buy the sugar free flavors for home, but I generally go to Starbucks and get the sugar free nonfat steamer and add cinnamon. Yum!
And on a final note (for now), I've given up sweets for several months before (turns out I'm kinda of a sugar addict and have to detox for a few months every year in order to get the binging under control). The first couple weeks are the hardest, and then it's just a matter of keeping on. Good luck to all!

I love getting back into working out rigorously regularly. I was sick in December and it affected the length and level of my workouts. The water does take its toll. I try and get mine in early so that it doesn't affect my sleep. That is always annoying.
ReplyDeleteI will have to try the steamed milk with cinnamon. Thanks for the tip.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has to go to the bathroom way more than average. Twice now I've gone before work, drop the kids off at the babysitter, drive to work and throw my stuff on my desk and run to the bathroom. It doesn't help that I drink like half of my water early in the morning. I need to try to spread it out more. I'm just trying to avoid the getting up in the middle of the night thing.
