Who wants to try and be really healthy before Christmas? I am trying to do a sugar-detox, and I know it will be especially hard. I am up for the challenge! Who's with me?
I am going to start logging on HERE what I eat every day. I really need to stop eating sugar. I may be addicted. College is stressful and leads to me eating tooooo muchsugar!!!
Breakfast: Miso soup, steal cut oats made with almond milk and flax seed. Part of a black bean brownie
Lunch: Vegetable soup, barley with corn. Black bean brownie.
Dinner: Vegetable soup, chick peas, oatmeal.
Snack later: Flax seed, swig of almond milk.
Breakfast: Black bean brownie. Steel cut oats with Nutritional Yeast. Snacked on a few almonds.
Snack: Oatmeal with chia seeds and walnuts
Lunch: Sandwhich consisting of whole wheat bread, hummus, tabouleh, green peppers and beans. Also had lots of broccoli with it! And a few strips of peppers.
Dinner: Two barley pancakes with an avocado and banana spread and flax seed. Then there was a salad with lentils. Nom Nom Nom.

hi monica, hi kaity!
let´s do this! I find the time up to christmas even harder to not stray from my goals then the festive days themselves.. there are so many afterwork parties and birthdays in my family! way to many oppurtunities to overindulge.. but as far as I can see you stuck to the plan perfectly, monica! at least on the days you posted.. how do you feel now? what do you do against possible sugar cravings? tonight we´ll dine out, that´s bit tricky but sometimes it helps to have a "healthy" dessert waiting at home to skip the icecream at the restaurant..
good!yess same here and i just love to bake around the holidays so im trying a diff recipe always! today im having
breakfast-green smoothie, 1frozen banana 1c almondmilk green powder,a few strawberries n handful of spinach
lunch-finishin my pumpkin stash and havin another smoothie just subbin pumpkin for the berries and no spinach
dinn- large salad with roasted veggies hummus n refried beans
snacks-almonds and an apple
..i sorta just tryna detox nxt few days and get my sugar cravings gone with the fruit, im not even a sweets person just around the holidays i become one;)
with me the problem is that all the mums and grandmas in my family are exqusite cooks and their cakes.. well, this afternoon I fell off the wagon specularly with four slices of "gugelhupf" and immediately had to bear the consequences of all the unkind things- for hours, I felt so sick I thought I was going to throw up.. well, my body does seem to know what´s good for it but I´m really furious with myself because of my lack of control.. I know Alicias says it´s okay to take one´s time and to just move on making good choices but sometimes it just feels so hard making the same mistake again and again.. anyone out there who has similar issues?
i definatly have the same issue, and u get upset about it but im slowly learning to instead of falling of the wagon for the day or the week i fall off for the meal and pick up where i left off, it took me awhile tho! i did good today cept had a largee piece of a mint chocolate chip cake i made and ill just workout alil harder tomorrow, itll get better just what you gotta do atleast what i did was focus on the bigger picture not lookin to fit in your pants by the wknd or say christmas look at it as gettin healthy for life and that if u dont fit in ur pants that wknd u will one day uno, it stinks i no!
right, I would think keeping a healthy weight more as an extra benefit to protecting our planet and our mental sanity! anyway- that´s why I´m even more depressed once I´ve "failed" again". but what can we do, than try again? I´ve been doing good for the last two days now and hope my determination will keep me strong through the work christmas dinner tomorrow...
