I am feeling really crappy today and it doesn't have much to do with my sugar detox. I have been fighting some sort of sickness for the past 2 weeks. The kids have it too. Phlegm, a persistent cough, headache. Last night I was up coughing all night so I am sleep deprived today and have a pounding headache. I took some naproxen this morning but is hasn't seemed to help.
So day 3 of the sugar detox and my state of being is a little muddled this morning because of my lack of sleep and this shitty cough. When will it go away?! In the morning after breakfast usually a sugar/carb craving pops up. Usually I can stave it off with some coffee. I have cut out sweetening my coffee, but I do add some half and half (sometimes I indulge and put a squirt of whip cream on it).
It is usually in the afternoons when I get snacky feeling is when my most vulnerable time is. The cheese is what I usually go for, but I fear I may be relying on it too much and it may be doing more harm than good. I had a thought to make a switch to yogurt. I have never really been a yogurt person, I've tried but there is just something about it that I can't get by. Greek yogurt I can work with a little more than regular yogurt. And, since I have cut out sugar AND artificial sweeteners I'm not sure I can make it palatable for me. I can try though. Katie Couric just told me about a smoothy recipe that I will have to try.
