21 Day {Added} Sugar Fast – Week 2

Made it to week 2! I’m feeling REALLY good. For the most part I’m not craving a lot of sugar. G, on the other hand, was exhausted on day 8. While I felt like I was withdrawing on like day 2, he made it through a whole week before it hit him like a truck.

If you’re new here, or missed week 1, you can go see what we ate and how the week went here.

I woke up late, so I just ate some toasted Ezekiel bread with Justin’s peanut butter and chia seeds.

• • I cooked Geechie Boy Mill Grits with some ghee, red pepper flakes, garlic salt, and black pepper
• Sauteed onions and peppers

Post-workout Snack:

Apple & banana with Justin’s cashew butter

Day 9

Breakfast:

Lunch:

Went to Chipotle for lunch and got a kid’s meal of 2 corn crunchy tacos, chicken, lettuce, & corn (you only get three toppings when you order a kid’s meal!)

Dinner:

NOT GOING TO LIE TO Y’ALL. I succumbed to peer pressure and ate Domino’s for dinner. G and I were dying for pizza lol

UPDATE: Today was so hard. I was out with my best friend most of the day at the mall and it is hard to be good when you are surrounded by soft pretzels and ice cream. I was good most of the day, but then came home and Garrett and I were both so HANGRY that we said “screw it” and ordered pizza.

Day 10

Breakfast:

Overnight steel cut oats but without the yogurt and honey. Pretty much everything else stayed the same. But I did cook the berries in the oats for a while so that they would cook down a tad and release some of their natural sugars.

Lunch:

Dinner:

Black bean burgers with lettuce buns
