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

🍩 2-INGREDIENT DOUGHNUTS 🍩 All you need is a can o 🍩 2-INGREDIENT DOUGHNUTS 🍩
All you need is a can of biscuit dough and oil to make the favorite breakfast of my childhood!
Once you pop open your can of biscuit dough and separate the individual biscuits, you can cut a hole in the center and GENTLY add them to oil heated to 350-375 degrees. CAREFULLY flip over once brown on one side and once both sides are perfectly golden, transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil. 
Of course you can’t go without toppings! Our favorites are cinnamon sugar, powdered, and strawberry glazed, but you could make chocolate frosting, vanilla frosting, or even jelly filled! The possibilities are endless when the doughnuts are this easy to make 😊

Did a really simple makeover to a sad, gray bathro Did a really simple makeover to a sad, gray bathroom to make it a little more fun and colorful for my toddler! So happy with how it turned out, and it ended up being such an inexpensive facelift! Inexpensive flexible moulding for the mirror, paint, an IKEA shower curtain, and some Etsy wall art made all the difference! #toddlermom #whimsy #roommakeover #whimsicalhome #colorfulhome

Raising the shower curtain rod and sewing 2 inexpensive ikea shower curtains together definitely brought some color and funkiness into the space. And changing out the light fixture and framing off the builder grade mirror were such inexpensive upgrades that made a big difference!

When I became a mom, I was unprepared for the fier When I became a mom, I was unprepared for the fierce love and protectiveness I was overcome with. It was (and still is) terrifying having my heart exist outside of my body and trusting it to the world. 
Motherhood is the greatest gift and hardest job I’ve ever had. Being both a ‘forever mom’ and a foster mom has formed me into a stronger, more passionate, more empathetic, and creative version of myself. My life and work before kids felt important and meaningful, but raising kind, caring kids to impact their future communities and world feels like my most important purpose yet ❤️
