Well here we are at day 21. 3 weeks into the whole 30. I've heard it takes 3 weeks to start a new habit. I've had many habits that started right away...I shan't go into that. Anyways, it is getting much easier for me. I do not miss sugar anymore. I'm even liking the cocnut milk in my coffee..wow! I did a crossFit workout called "Diane" the other day. That is a workout we do every now and then. I had my fastest time ever..by almost 2 minutes. That's badass. I know that the quality food and nutrition I am getting helped me get my best Diane time. I've noticed less joint soreness too...especially in my shoulders. Sugar is definitely inflammatory to our bodies. I have had some pretty good meals and I will share some pics. I have learned how to use spices. Many of the pre-mixed spices like Montreal steak seasoning has artificial preservatives and soy so I have not used them.
As the 30th day approaches I have a bit of trepidation. I am someone that likes a challenges and does well with discipline. I definitely have an ice cream AND flavored creamer addiction. Now my plan is to eat and drink those occasionally. I haven't quite figured out how often and I know I need to plan it out. Going into it without a plan is asking for disaster. It's funny because I am not missing them right now.
