the 21-day sugar detox

Okay, so Day 21 was yesterday, but I just got this email in my inbox today with this cute button because I started a day before I was supposed to and my email updates have been off throughout this entire program. I honestly feel like I’ve been on this journey for months, not 3 weeks....

I’m so over these recaps. I’m sure most of you are too. But this is it! DAY 21!!! WOOT!!! What I Ate I can hardly remember what I ate Saturday. I remember it was a tough day because I was home most of the day, and all afternoon I just wanted to snack. We worked...

Three more days. WOO! Yesterday I woke up, determined to stick to the program. I had my usual two cups of coffee in the wee hours of the morning, and when I got hungry around 7:00, I went rooting through the fridge only to discover we had ONE EGG LEFT. You guys. This is every paleo...

I feel like I’m in the home stretch! I really want to finish strong but I keep making “exceptions”. Still, in the grand scheme, I’ve come a looong way in 17 days. I woke up early again yesterday and made my usual 2 cups of coffee. Then I made this paleo bread from the Practical...

It’s Day 17 of The 21-Day Sugar Detox and I suppose it’s still going. I’m definitely not sticking to the program quite as religiously as I’d planned, but I’m definitely not giving up either. Truth be told, I’m kind of frustrated with myself. I keep making exceptions . . . only with things I know I will be fine...

It’s Day 15. I’m two weeks in. One more to go. WOO! Yesterday The 21-Day Sugar Detox was challenged with a social event in the neighborhood. What I Ate Fortunately the main dish was pulled pork and I was able to bring two side dishes so it all worked out okay. I didn’t even ask how my...

Good morning, and happy Labor Day! I hope everyone gets to relax today. I’ll be going through our closets and weeding out the outgrown and summeriest of the summer clothes. I always do this on Labor Day weekend. I hate having things cluttering up our closets that we aren’t currently wearing. I hope to get everyone’s rooms...

Yesterday’s sugar detox update was so very long. I promise to make this short and sweet! What I Ate Yesterday I made pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. Yes, they are 21-Day-Detox friendly and Paleo as well. I had made these before, after ordering Diane’s first book, Practical Paleo. They really hit the spot. I omitted the maple...

I’m behind on sugar detox updates and the last couple days have been . . . interesting. I truly thought that after I got over the initial hurdle of the first week, I would not deviate from the program for the full 21 days. I envisioned victoriously completing the detox and slowly starting to add...

Good morning! Today is Day 10 of my 21-Day Sugar Detox. I’m back from the beach and feeling pretty chipper this morning. Quick recap this time, promise! So yeah, yesterday we went to the beach for the day. It was a glorious day for the beach. I ate a bacon & spinach omelette for breakfast and then packed...

I was thinking of taking a break from these updates today, and then last night I hit what I think (hope) was the worst of the withdrawal process. I’ve said that I don’t feel like my withdrawal symptoms have been very noticeable. I’m experiencing some fatigue and woke up headachy a few mornings, but otherwise, it’s not...

Yesterday morning I woke with a mild headache behind my right eye. It didn’t go away after a couple of cups of coffee and breakfast, so I took one Advil and that seemed to help. I did check in with the 21-Day Detox Facebook page, which is an AWESOME resource – they have qualified people who will...
