No Carbs & No Sugar Progress

One week down! 

No carbs no sugar is not as hard as I thought I would be (yes I hear myself typing this). Don’t get me wrong. I still want some Dr. Pepper like nobody’s business. NOBODY’S BUSINESS! But I’ve really only cheated three times. To clarify - didn't cutt out carbs completely but rather ones with high content of yeast or starch – a friend of mine sent me a list of “approved” carbs so I didn't gnaw off my arm.  Things like Broccoli, beans, spinach, carrots, etc. I have found it’s hard to fit this diet in when going out to dinner  - how many different versions of salads can a girl eat? It’s also difficult when eating at someone’s house – which may not occur frequently for most people however four times this week I found myself at someone’s house thinking – "I really don’t want to just eat all the carrot sticks on their veggie tray" or "how hospitable is it to only eat the meat only from this lasagna". I have found that I’m not really craving anything except the soda and I think a big part of that is my allergies are still going like crazy so I am just thirsty from that and water isn’t doing it.   As not not sound completely like a complainer some things I found that I like - Almond Milk, Apples & Almond Butter, Black Beans + Peppers + Onion.

The real question is do I feel better? The honest answer is No. The congestion is still very much here.  I still have the need to carry around a Kleenex box all the time - which could be my body riding itself of whatever?  I also seem to just feel blah all day - sometimes it feels as if my head is a giant bobble head and not really my head at all. Another weird thing is I have this weird acne on my forehead? And this is from a girl who maybe gets 1-2 blemishes a month? So we’ll see what happens in week two.  

Onward and upward.
