Day 32
We had a beautiful drive up to the High Peaks to visit my brother and sister-in-law yesterday and were swept off for a boat ride and swim in Lake Champlain. They were so accommodating with fruit for the boat, then chicken fajitas, and homemade guacamole and salsa for dinner with no sugar in sight.
It’s been just over a month since I started this no sugar adventure. Maybe it’s the mountain air, or being away and on vacation but here are somethings I’ve noticed.
· I feel more grounded (remember sugar is yin, light and spacey)
· I feel like I am more aware and think more clearly. Noticing is enhanced.
· I’m no more intelligent, or have enhanced recall, but I wonder how my brain looks. Do you know about Dr. Daniel Amen and his brain scans? Reading his work for years was part of what prompted me on this journey.
· I’ve lost eight pounds, and my clothes feel normal again. They were getting snug.
· I’m waking up earlier, more consistently, after a solid 7-8 hours of sleep. As a result, I can (more consistently) fit in a morning exercise routine before work.
This morning the Shamrock Inn of the Adirondacks (formerly the Shamrock Motel, rebranding catering to the down staters) was serving freshly baked muffins on the back porch which of course I avoided. I had some fruit in the room that I’d brought with me in my handy cooler. We’d also arranged for breakfast with my brother and his wife at their home later in the morning. Eggs, fruit, and coffee – no sugar! After a morning rain, we’ll take the boat out again and have lunch at the Marina.
Have a great Saturday.
