21 Day {Added} Sugar Fast – Week 2

Health

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.

Day 8

Breakfast:

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

Lunch:

  • Chicken sausage
  • Grits
    • 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

Dinner:

Chicken Burrito Bowl:

  • Lime & cilantro marinated chicken thighs
  • Quinoa
  • Lettuce
  • Southwestern black bean salad

Day 9

Breakfast:

  • Smashed avocado and egg on toasted Ezekiel bread, topped with hot sauce and Everything but the Bagel seasoning!Since I was just making this for one, I cooked my egg in this mini pan specifically for eggs
  • Pineapple

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:

I ate at the hospital cafeteria and ate grilled chicken, green beans, and roasted potatoes!

Dinner:

Black bean burgers with lettuce buns

Day 11

Breakfast:

Smashed avocado and egg on toasted Ezekiel bread, topped with Everything but the Bagel seasoning

Lunch:

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich:

  • Toasted Ezekiel Bread
  • Justin’s Peanut Butter
  • Berry Chia Jelly

Dinner:

Turkey burger with onions, lettuce bun, and spicy mayo

Day 12

Breakfast:

  • Toasted Ezekiel bread with Justin’s peanut butter, sliced bananas, and chia seeds
  • Strawberries

Lunch:

  • Meal-prepped chimichurri chicken thighs
  • Sauteed green beans (in avocado oil, garlic, sea salt, pepper, and some coconut aminos)
  • Quinoa
  • Apple

Dinner:

Same chimichurri chicken thighs but on a salad with avocado and the Trader Joe’s Green Goddess dressing

(I just used the same photo from last week haha)

Day 13

Breakfast:

Grilled chicken and fried egg

Lunch:

Apple and peanut butter (I really wasn’t hungry!)

Dinner:

Chicken stir fry with snow peas, bok choy, carrots, & onion over brown rice.

(the sauce is chicken broth, some coconut aminos, ginger, cayenne pepper, and some corn starch [to thicken it])

Day 14

Breakfast:

Apple with Justin’s peanut butter

Lunch:

Dinner:

Lol I recognize that this photo looks gross but this was so good!

  • Mexican chicken and sweet potato poppers
  • Sweet potato fries
    • Cut sweet potatoes into fries and then cooked them in the oven at 400 in some avocado oil, sea salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder
  • Creamy avocado dipping sauce

I’m always trying to get my toddler more engaged w I’m always trying to get my toddler more engaged with nature, so we made a bug hotel together 🐞🐛🦋

I grabbed some bricks from @loweshomeimprovement and used glue to secure a wooden house on top. Then my toddler foraged for pinecones, straw, sticks, leaves, and put them in the holes of the bricks and inside the house. We planted plants around the house, and made a cute little sign to go on top! We also made some bee/bug watering cups out of some shells we collected during our last beach trip! My toddler loves checking on our bug hotel and filling up the bug cups to make sure they have plenty of water 😊

Being a foster parent is embracing multiple feelin Being a foster parent is embracing multiple feelings existing at once. We are SO happy to see a child united with family, because it’s something that not every child in foster care gets. But when you raise a baby for 7 months, it feels so strange to have her and all of her stuff suddenly out of the house overnight ❤️‍🩹 #fostercare #fosterparent
