I have to say that yesterday I did have a hard time. I'm thinking coming off of the sugar is not an easy task. I had a headache for most of the day yesterday and kind of stuggled to gain my energy. But, I plowed through and did not give in! And today I feel all the better for it! All though I do have to admit that I made some of the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies from the recipe that Shelly shared with us on the 4/9/10 post (in the comments). Totally organic...and totally delicious! Shelly...you saved my life....lol!
I really do believe this way of eating is something I can do for the rest of my life...with a little discipline of course. But I know my body will be in so much better shape if I eat my food the way God intended us to eat it. His plan was perfect...why mess it up?
I have come to realize that processed sugar is really and truly a drug. Think about it: It makes kids hyper, the more you have the more you want, and trying to come off of it has given me headaches. Doesn't that sound like the effects of a drug? All legal and USDA approved.
The evenings are definitely the hardest for me....I never realized how much I snacked in the evenings. A couple of hours after dinner I have been munching on fruit or half an Ezekial english muffin with a little almond butter and I'm good to go.
While it is taking some adjusting, I am definitely enjoying the benefits of the extra energy most of the time. Yesterday was tough, but today I felt awesome! It will be worth it if I just keep on keeping on.....with the help of the Lord :-)
