Sugar Free Day 1—DONE!

I’m exhausted with a horrible headache and I feel like my skin is crawling off my bones. I’ve had so much water, I’m nauseated now. I haven’t been hungry all day but that’s from the sugar/caffeine depravation apparently. I hope tomorrow is better, but I’m prepared for it to be worse than today. I do know this…I don’t want to start over again. Today is brutal but I have to stick with this.

Friday is coming and it can’t be that bad, can it?

CrossFit Workout of the Day (WOD)

3 sets of 21-15-9 reps of the following: Burpees and 55lbs deadlifts. Time finished 9:33.

 Sugar levels:
Fasting: 379
Post-workout: 280
Post-lunch: 145
Post-dinner 119

 

Since I had so much trouble with high sugar this morning, I didn’t try to eat my pre-workout peanut butter/fruit spread sandwich. I stuck with protein shake with a little mango. The protein powder I use is one of the cleaner versions with stevia instead of aspartame or sugar products. It doesn’t have an aftertaste.

Cooler weather means more oatmeal! I’ve found a way to take it to work. I take a bowl with dry oatmeal, flaxseed, and any spices. I have a small bowl with my almond butter. I make a bag of granola. I can’t leave out the granola. I MUST have something crunchy in my oatmeal. When I get to school, I add water and nuke my oatmeal and then add the other stuff and I was surprised by how good it was like that. Granted, I love whipped banana oatmeal better, but this isn’t a bad option.  I’ll try it again tomorrow and hopefully have pics of the process.

I’ve got to crash. I really don’t feel good. Not even reruns of Criminal Minds can keep me awake right now. I want to sleep off the misery and headache.
