pre 21 day sugar detox

Well here we go! today starts the one week count down to me starting the detox program :) I found a group on Facebook that is starting this program on the 6th of January and I thought that was PERFECT for me, support for this and community to share progress with YES!

I have been reading this book for the past few nights before i drift to sleep before my baby JC wakes up to feed. I must admit i do think its going to be a LOT harder then i thought but i also think for me to succeed i need to follow the exact meal plan. This leaves me no escape if i just "dont have anything to eat" i will have prepared my meals ahead of time and they will be ready for me. 

I am not wanting to do this as a way to lose weight but because for a long time...well ever sense i stopped playing sports on a regular basis i have struggles with cravings for sugar...bread....pasta you name it! i have never really tried to give it up and i am just tired of feeling like i need it. The more i read the book the more everything makes sense to me. If i can break my habits and get off the roller coaster that i am on i will hopefully feel less dependent on bad food and be able to live a healther lifestyle. As long as i can remember i have been a lover of bread and pasta I am ready to live without those in my diet and leave behind the after math they leave when i crash. I hope this program can light the way

I do have a few concerns only because i am breast feeding and plan to continue to pump while im at work  so JC can have food during the day while im working, thankfully they do modifications to the program for nursing moms whoop! but if it lowers my milk supply to much i will not continue, BF is much more important to me so i will have to wait until i am ready to try again. 

I think i have my mom and dad roped into giving this a try too! I think it will be good for both of them plus ill have someone directly in my contacts to talk to and compare with.I will contiue to use this blog as well because i find it a lot easier to relax when i can write my thoughts down. I havent decided if i am going to do small daily post or weekly post yet, honestly i think it will depend on how getting back into the swing of things goes....Im heading back to work on Thursday after 4 months off with my second little love Jackson. My first little love is in kindergarden WHAAAT time sure flies :O) but until next time ill leave you with a picture of my sweet babes
