Sugar!

The past week I have consumed so much sugar its scary. I actually felt my body reacting to it as if I was in a trance or something. I mentioned it to my WLS therapist as I know my sugar consumption was sabatoging my efforts. With Easter approaching, I said I was going to go back on the liquid diet for a week prior to rid myself of the toxins and to get back to starting point. She felt I may not need to go back to liquids but that I should try a fast of refined sugars. I know, I know, I shouldn't have been eating them to begin with, but if I am going to do better, i have to be honest and I can honestly say I slipped back into my old habits with sugar. So today's my last hurrah. No I won't be binging but I consumed so much sugar that I cannot just stop otherwise I'll have a migraine like I did last weekend. So wish me luck. I will no doubt be blogging through this process as I know it will be a struggle.

I know how you feel about the sugar. I looked for an alternative for a long time, but I can't stand the artificial sweeteners, and I just don't like stevia. But recently I started using coconut sugar, or palm sugar. It doesn't have any fewer calories, but it is supposed to be low-glycemic and keep your blood sugar stable. And I really can tell a big difference. Plus, I think it tastes really yummy! Kind of a nutty, maple-y, brown sugar kind of taste, but not coconut-y. If you are looking for an alternative, you may want to try it.

In any case, I wish you the best on your fast. I know how rough it can be, and I'll be praying for a quick and painless detox for you. :)

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
