Not Just A Blonde

We are "Not Just" who we seem to be on this Earthly plane, but so much more. We are ALL children of a loving God who is calling us home to Love. This blog is dedicated to those of us on that journey together…

Part of my spiritual journey is trying to live a healthier life. Last month I went 30 days without sugar. So now here I am experiencing life post sugar-detox… and what have I noticed?  Well, for one, I noticed the huge SUGAR CRASH that follows any indulgence of a highly sugary treat such as a …

I did it! I completed my 30 Day Sugar-Free Challenge! I learned SO many things along this journey and I’m sure as I continue post sugar-detox I will continue to learn even more!  It’s crazy to me to think I’ve been without sugar in my diet (no processed sugar,no artificialsweetner,no honey, no agave, and no …

Today marks the 30th day of my sugar-free challenge! I’ve almost completed my goal and will be going one additional day to cover that accidental sip that happened at the 2 week mark (see day 14 image for details😝)! What a month! What a journey! I’ve leaned SO much about myself, about others, about food, …

Well, it’s day 29 folks and day 30 should technically be my last day eating processed sugar, honey, agave and artificial sugar FREE! What a month!

27 days of sugar-free living have passed. I’m doing much much better everyday with less and less cravings. I have found that I am beginning to plan what sugary treats I may consume when I finish this challenge. Part of me can’t wait… and another part of me is scared. to. death.  The “what ifs” …

I made it day 24…. down 3# from week1 and I am feeling pretty good. I can’t say I feel better than I did before I quit, but I might and just not remember how I felt because of the difficult early detox days! 😉 I’m having 80% less cravings too so that’s been nice! …

23 days done! Today I passed on pizza and homemade ice cream during our staff meeting at work… both sugar-infused and previous favorites of mine! I’m finding it easier and easier to resist sugary foods as I get closer each day to my 30 day goal! PS I enjoyed another latte today without flavorings! It’s a …

Today marks the 22nd day of my sugar-free journey. I’m doing okay avoiding sugar, but it’s clear that I am naturally, instinctively, and perhaps even habitually drawn to sugar. I’d settle for honey or agave even but in my original commitment to this challenge I gave up those two as well thinking it might help …

It’s entirely possible that I would never feel at peace without processed sugar in my diet. It is crazy to think that after 21 days of no processed sugar that I’ve noticed no immediate health or mental benefit of any kind… all I’ve felt is discomfort and subtle cravings.  I miss sugar. I REALLY miss …
