Wow, more than a week under our belts and this is actually getting easier for me!
It's amazing how actually GOOD I feel. Not dragging anymore from lack of processed sugars, I wake up feeling pretty refreshed, I'm not as stressed about doing all the prep work on food, it seems I've gotten in a routine!
The crazy thing is when I thought today about what food I miss most, it was actually none of the ones I eat a lot. The idea of really sugarry things is almost gross now, as I contemplate how they'll make me feel.
I really want to be able to add rice to my meals, which is weird because I barely ate rice anyways, and can't remember the last time I prepared it myself.
Praise God for the breaking of dependence on all that stuff that ruled me before.
My finger is healing up pretty good and I'm going to get a workout in either tonight or early morning tomorrow for the first time since last Tuesday and am eager to see how the diet affects my performance.
I agree...I had already given up wheat, so oatmeal was the last grain for me to give up. And the only sugar I was consuming was from my beloved atomic fireballs...and I don't miss them now.
ReplyDeleteBut the best thing has been that Byron has quit snoring since giving up grains -- really, praise the Lord!
