Hey! There's a chicken in my CrockPot!
Wow! Only one day left of The 21-Day Sugar Detox! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'm sure everything will be fine. But, I know the task of adding foods back into my diet could possibly bring back some of my symptoms. That makes me nervous.
Luckily, I didn't have much time to fret over that today. It's housecleaning day. Knowing I would be busy all day, I put my chicken in the Crock-Pot and let it do it's thing. I scrubbed, wiped, and laundered my day away. At around 3 PM, I ate my lunch, standing at the kitchen counter. Since I didn't have time to make a proper lunch, I threw some beef from last night's dinner on some lettuce leaves, added some chunked avocado and a splash of red wine vinegar. Voila!
I really have noticed a huge increase in my energy level. Before this detox, I would wake up tired. I barely had the energy to get dressed in the morning. Now, I can clean all day with energy to spare. The second best improvement is the lack of bloating and stomach upset. My tummy is now completely flat. I don't worry about eating anymore, because I know my stomach will not hurt afterward. It's wonderful!
Now, for the downside, my skin is a complete disaster. My body is detoxing everything; and, it showing in my skin. I have breakouts on my face, legs, and chest. In one way, I'm happy. I know these breakouts mean my body is releasing the toxins. However, I hate looking like a pimply, rashy mess. I hope this doesn't last too long.
At 6 PM, my chicken was done. I wanted a light dinner. So, I made a simple side salad of arugula, cucumber, avocado, and Greek olives. Simple and delicious! The chicken was so tender, it melted in my mouth.
So, tomorrow is my last day of The 21-Day Sugar Detox. I will be planning my meals for the week. What will I do with so much freedom? I have a few ideas, that's for sure!
I bid you a goodnight. I can't wait for tomorrow to come! I hope I can get some sleep tonight. As always, if you need my help, email me or comment below. I'll be back tomorrow with an update.
Goodnight and God Bless!
