I have to say I’m quite proud of myself for sticking with this plan for 14 days with no major set-backs. Usually at this point I’ve had a really off day or two and struggle to get back on track. While I’ve had lots of cravings during these two weeks, and many days where I simply wanted to stay in bed and not work out, I’ve sucked it up and carried on with my plan. And while I’ve only lost an additional .2 lbs (for a total of 5.2 lbs lost), I’m feeling much better and much more focused. Over the weekend, I DID make dairy free cookie dough and ate on it for a couple of days, and then I realized my heel and shoulder were hurting again and realized that sugar really is the devil. I don’t know if I’ll ever be completely sugar free, but I’m definitely cutting back on it so that I don’t have to deal with the aches & pains.
