I discovered that I cannot live without chocolate. I also discovered that Ideal Protein has a dark chocolate pudding that has no refined sugars. Guess what I had for dessert last night?
I actually did very well on Day 9. I did not crave the sugar and I felt balanced all day. The vegetables and lean proteins are enough to fill me and I am not left with that "Is that all?!" feeling. I am getting enough complex carbs to keep me from crashing and becoming fuzzy-brained. My energy levels have begun to rise to normal; in fact, I was able to teach a kick-butt cycle class without feeling like I was going to bonk by the end of class.
Part of it is because I am being much more conscious about what I am eating. I am being mindful of my food and not working through meals like I am prone to do. I am more focused on how I feel and less on how I look. As a result, food is more enjoyable and I do not crave the "comfort" foods I practically lived on. It is a great feeling.
Day 10 is looking very positive.
