Snack time.
Red Bellied Woodpecker

Welp…day 13 of the no sugar ended up being day one of sugar for the holiday! I had a Christmas coffee this morning while finishing my holiday shopping and usps. I think I did really well on this trial. January will start no gluten (month trial) and only one sweet a week. For now bring on the sugar!

Kittens = joy

Day 8! Life feels boring…lol. Actually got sone deep cleaning done in the kitchen today. Monday I start painting my holiday cards so I can get them in the mail by end of week. Looking forward to holiday goodies in the next two weeks.

Krampusnacht in Lansing was so much fun!

Well…day 6 and 7 of no sugar came and went. I was able to refrain from sweets while out. I suspect there was some sugar in my dinner. We went to bbq. A place called Meat. It was so good! I didn’t have bbq sauce but there was a pineapple slice that I mindlessly nibbled on. Gasp!

Day 5 was a piece of sugar free cake! Today is a house tidy day. Tomorrow we are off to see Krampus in Lansing. Should be a fun time? 😂 Also…. Sugar will be everywhere!! Uhg!

Day 4 no sugar went well. I’ve noticed I’m not getting a stabbing pain in my right foot anymore. Which is interesting. Today will be spent finishing the holiday decor and watching kittens play. Kind of a perfect day. 💜

Also day 3 no sugar…. No sugar! Not having any of the bad side effects yet. I read it takes a couple of weeks to notice good things. Hopefully spoiled me will stop thinking I “deserve” a sweet. It’s not as bad as nicotine but I can see it’s a thing for sure. Hello day 4!

Anyone else pissed about how we’ve been poisoned our whole lives? Chemicals! Is it too late to fix these things when you’re in your 50s? Uhg!

Day 2 no sugar. I think I thought about a sugary snack no less than 10 times today. That’s very telling. I’m a mindless snacker and it seems sugar is what I reach for most. Today was not hard. But I was a little sad about no sugary snacks.

Day 1 no sugar. It went fine. I didn’t really have any problems except for spoiled me wanting a fancy coffee drink. I did finish a small amount of Diet Pepsi in the fridge. No fake sugar after today. Whheeee!

Don’t wait for your doctors to offer help. Most will not. Women need to be in charge of their healthcare. If your doctor is not wishing for you…find another. Blood tests do not mean all is well. Updates on the sugar as I go along.

Tomorrow starts my 14 day sugar detox. I’ve never done this before and am really interested to see how I feel. Today also marks a 22 pounds loss with the aid of tirzeptide. That coupled with my hrt are really helping me feel like a human being again. 💜
