I think it would have been a little lower had I not eaten an entire bag of kettle chips last night. My willpower SUCKS.
Still at 33" from wrap on Monday. Wrapping again tonight.

Meh, I'm over it. I'll lose it eventually. I have 4 months to lose 21 pounds. So I need to be at:
140 by February
135 by March
130 by April
125 by May
120 by June
So I just need to lose 1 pound by Friday. Totally doable. :)
I wrapped tonight with an ItWorks body wrap. I wanted to write my info here so I didn't forget.. I only measured around my belly button, but I did take photos so I 'll be able to see the difference.
35" at start
After 45 minutes
33.5"
And I've drank about 120 ounces of water tonight.. I'll be visiting the bathroom A LOT tonight!

1/23/2013 - I forgot.
I weighted myself this morning, but I can't remember what it said.. I do know that I gained, though. :/
Today was INSANE. I went non-stop from 6:30a until 6:30p. I'm already in bed on my way to sleepy-time.
Tomorrow is a new day..

Ha! I did it! I officially lost 7.5 pounds in 21 days.
I finished the full 21 days without sugar and I feel amazing. Although this morning I'm hungry, but don't know what to eat! Before the detox I would have had cereal (high sugar and carbs) or a bagel (super high carbs and sugar) or pancakes, waffles or toast.. sugar and more sugar! Ack!! I don't have much to eat here other than that, looks like I'll be heading to the grocery store before class tomorrow.
I'm bringing the kids to the movies today, so I'll be getting popcorn. That will happen. I miss popcorn SO much!
I was supposed to start the 30-shred last night but some things came up so I'll be starting it tonight instead. I also downloaded a super cool app called Sworkit. You set the times you want to work out 5 min, 10 min, etc. And then it gives you a workout that fits inside that time limit. I'm going to give that a go this morning.

This is it. The last day of the detox. I cannot believe I actually followed through with it for the entire 3 weeks!! And I didn't cheat once!! I almost cheated last night by going out to dinner with my hub, but I made no sugar shrimp scampi at home instead. Had spaghetti squash in the place of pasta, it was amazing!! Then tonight I wanted to go out to dinner because I didn't feel like cooking. But no!! I cooked tilapia and brussels sprouts for myself. Win win!!!

I'm also making bacon wrapped chicken tonight with puréed cauliflower and green beans with almond slices. Yum yum yum!

Haha.. 141 again. I'm thinking I won't see 139 tomorrow like I had wanted. Staying the same weight is better than gaining!
I just realized that it's 10:16am and I haven't eaten anything. Whoops! I was going to have eggs, but I made the kids scrambled eggs this morning and used them all. My ninja is dirty and I'm not interested in cleaning it (I'm freezing cold and working on website stuff), so I can't have my fake ice cream. Maybe I'll eat a couple of orange peppers.. yes, weird. But yummy.
I also think I'm going to have a 3rd cup of coffee.. got a genius idea from the 21 Day Sugar Detox page to add vanilla extract to my coffee. Hello! That should have been a no-brainer for me. I love vanilla in my coffee!
I'm volunteering again today (I'm up to twice a week now.. exhausting!) so I have to be sure I make a lunch, since the ladies usually get takeout for lunch and I am NOT doing that! Even after the detox is over.. yes I'll have cravings and I may fail at some point. But I am going to try and not eat fast food for as long as possible.

I have a feeling if I had weighed myself a couple hours later the number would have been a little lower. Ah, whatever.
As the days tick by on the detox I'm becoming increasingly nervous. Almost like someone about to get out of jail.. what am I going to do with the freedom? I'm one that needs tight restrictions or none. Well, after this detox I'm on no restrictions. If I want to eat crap, I can. Should I? Well no! But my willpower sucks.
1st world problems..
Edited..
I wanted to remind myself how good it feels to NOT give in. Last night I made the kids Trader Joes handsome cut French fries. These things looked and smelled amazing. Considering my favorite "food" is a french fry, I had to muster every single ounce of willpower to NOT eat one. I reminded myself how good it feels to wear jeans from last year. I reminded myself how mad I would be if I gave in.
And I did it! I was SO proud of myself. :)

My goal is to be at 139 by this Friday.. here's hoping!
I've decided that I'm going to start the 30 day shred on Monday. I'm not thrilled about it, nor do I want to do it. But I need to do something. If I end up losing the remaining 21 pounds by June I will look a bit odd if I don't tone up my muscle a bit.
Today I put on a pair of jeans that I had to buy a couple of months ago and they look ridiculous now.. I had to use a belt to keep them up and that made them bunch up near my crotch. Not gonna lie.. I was a *tiny* bit upset that they didn't fit because they were a great pair of Ann Taylor jeans. Oh well.. I have about 20 pairs of cute jeans that I can wear in 20 pounds. :D

The scale hates me and wants to see me lose my mind..
I've noticed one dangerous thing on this detox: I'm never hungry. I don't know if it's my natural state of hunger (not wanting to eat all of the time), or what. It's a good thing I'm so darn busy every day, or I think I would have quite the detox and just ate what I wanted.
I'm learning to eat to live instead of live to eat.. and I don't like it. :(
I'm also scared about what's going to happen after the detox. I have 22 pounds to lose before July (going to a wedding back home). I absolutely don't have time to go to the gym and hate, loathe and DESPISE running. Maybe I'll just do the stupid 30 day shred again.
Pft.
Oh! But a spot of good news.. I'm wearing size 6 skinny jeans that I haven't been able to wear in a year, so YAY!

Well well. I've finally busted through the wall. Nice.
I was so mad when I got up this morning.. I forgot to cut up a green tipped banana and freeze it. So I can't have my 'ice cream' for breakfast. I had a green apple with almond butter instead. I should have made eggs and bacon, but honestly? I'm so so sick of cooking and preparing food. That's the biggest issue I have with the detox.
Maybe I'll make it for lunch...

Ok I'm thinking stress is somehow causing me to go back up on the scale. But whatever! I'm still 4.5 pounds lighter than I was 11 days ago. :)
I made some crackers yesterday. Recipe: http://www.multiplydelicious.com/thefood/2011/09/paleo-herb-crackers/
They were a bit dry, but were the perfect vehicle to my hummus and I'll be adding avocado to them as well.

Now the scale is just playing with me.. I don't think I've EVER been the same weight for this many days in a row!
Today all I wanted to do was go to McDonalds and pig out on french fries. Lots and lots of french fries. But I didn't. I came home and had roasted carrots and a glass of whole milk instead. It's been a crappy couple of days.. but my willpower has won!

No change. No biggie.
I have a feeling the reason why my weight is staying the same is because I'm eating more animal fat. Butter is the big one. Oh and a lot more olive oil than usual.
I'm sleeping about the same that I always have, which I shouldn't complain about. My sleep has been wonderful for over a year now. Thanks to me falling asleep no later than 10:30 or 11. I used to stay up until 2am and then wonder why I felt like poop all day.
I'll update on my foody goodness after class.
EDIT
Well. Today has turned from a pretty good day to a terrible terrible day. Not going to get into it, but yea.. it's been horrible.
I don't care about a sugar detox. I don't care about getting healthy. I don't care about losing weight. It's been THAT bad of a day.
And no.. I didn't fall off the wagon.

My weight fluctuated within an hour this morning.. so I'm not sure what it is. Either I stayed the same or gained .5 pound. Either way is fine, really.
This morning I tried some coconut milk in my coffee, it's a different. Not bad, not amazing. Just different. I'll do it again, just not often since coconut milk is crazy expensive.
After really taking a look at my weekly schedule, I'm thinking even if I wanted to go to the gym.. I wouldn't be able to! I have no extra time.. when I do have time that I'm not in class or volunteering, I'll be catching up on housework and homework!
How do working moms do it...?
EDIT
Ok so I cancelled the gym. I felt terrible doing it.. but I haven't been since October. I stopped going because of that stupid headache that would come on after working out for a minute. I was so scared to workout and then just fell out of the habit really fast. :( Honestly, I don't have the time and it was $79 a month.
I made some amazing roasted chicken breast - YES! - chicken! My daughter gave up her vegetarian ways so I was allowed to eat meat again. I had told her starting in January that I would go meat-less with her. That was rough. :)
Then I made the moo-less mousse that comes with the 21 DSD and man it's AMAZING. It seriously curbed my craving for sweet stuff.. and it's not even sweet!

I've officially lost 5 pounds!
I feel so superficial when I announce how much I've lost. But whatever.. it's my weight loss and it feels good! And it's not like I'm doing it in an unhealthy way. I've gone 7 days with NO sugar. That's something to celebrate by itself.
Today was my first day back to school after 14+ years. The last time I sat in a classroom was at a Community College up north where I failed every class the first semester. It was directly after high school (big mistake), and I didn't take it seriously.
It went really well. I got to my classes on time and I even brought snacks with me (since I only have 8 minutes between each class, and I have to walk to different buildings in that time). I brought pumpkin seeds, walnuts, cherry tomatoes and a yellow pepper. Thankfully today is the only crazy day with all 3 classes back-to-back.
I've noticed that the detox isn't really a 'diet' (for lack of a better word), it's become a way of life for me. I don't crave the food that my family is eating, I don't want to binge on McDonalds (BIG one for me.. I love their fries). I'm ok with just eating to live. Not eating to fill a void of time, or to join me while watching TV. Or doing homework! If I had started school before this detox I would be constantly munching on something. I've already done about 4 hours worth of work tonight.. I don't even want to think of the empty calories I would have consumed.
I'm giving myself a big ole pat on the back.. and being thankful that I have people in my life that recognize the changes and successes going on here in my little life. :)

Aww no change. First time in 5 days, ha!
Nothing wrong with that though. I'm definitely getting what I need and not eating what is harmful. I've noticed that my hair is crazy silky and smooth. Apparently my hair isn't a fan of sugar!

Today I had coconut banana 'ice cream' for breakfast. I felt like a rebel! It's super easy to make.
Cut up a green-tipped banana and freeze. I used my Ninja to blend that, 1/2 cup coconut milk and a dash of vanilla extract. It is insanely creamy and good. I had some last night and added some pecans to it after I blended it. I think I'm going to add nuts directly to the Ninja the next time I make it (probably tomorrow!).
For lunch I had leftover cauliflower crust pizza (that had spinach, banana peppers and mozzarella cheese).
I also tried to make some faux-chocolate.. that was a disaster! I mean, it set up the way it should have but it did not taste good. Then I put it in the Ninja with some whole milk and coconut milk to make a 'milkshake'. Yea, that didn't work. THEN I put it on the stove to make 'chocolate milk'. Fail. Huge fail.
It's hard to experiment doing this because most of the ingredients are so expensive.. I'm not a fan of throwing out food.. but sometimes it just ain't working!

I'm going to be bummed when the scale stops going down!
Today was the worst craving day. We went to the grocery store and everything smelled good! Fried chicken, baked yummies, pizza. But I didn't even give it a second thought, I was strong and resisted. I'm so proud of myself.
I got some almond flour and coconut milk. It's been fun experimenting with new flavor and recipes.
Day 5 almost done.. Feeling awesome. :)

Another pound? I'll take it! That's THREE AND A HALF POUNDS in FOUR DAYS!!!
I know this isn't a diet plan. Nor is it a way to just 'lose weight fast'. It's a detox. A way to flush my system out of all the crapola I've been shoving in my gullet.
Today is the first time in a LONG time that I didn't look forward to food. That's not a bad thing! Most days I sit and think about what yummy food I can scarf. But now my mind is on things like.. my hubby, kids, school starting, chores, etc. It's.. GREAT! I haven't felt the food guilt either.. which is even GREATER!!
I've had roasted carrots and cauliflower for breakfast and I'm making more for lunch. Also had a ton of pecans and walnuts for a snack. I think I'm going to try a cauliflower pizza crust for dinner tonight. That should be amazing!!
Crap. Crap crap CRAP.
I'm going to a restaurant tonight for a friends' birthday. CRAP. I don't want to sit there and just get a water with lemon, but I also don't want to take a chance and mess up my detox!! Maybe I'll be a weirdo and make my own dressing... :/

Hi ho, hi ho.. it's off to Target I go!
I must get good food in this house if I'm going to succeed. Last night I would have killed to have a handful of almonds or pecans! I haven't gone really anywhere in quite a few days. Now that the kids are in school again I can get that stuff in order.
As you've probably noticed, I lost 1.5 pounds since yesterday! That's a big deal!! And I feel less.. heavy? Not full and weighed down. Stupid sugar and flour and processed crap! I bet the suicide rate would go down a lot if people would cut out just processed foods alone. Sad.
All I've had today so far is a cup of coffee with whipping cream (only full fat dairy in my fridge, lol). I'll be getting plain cream today for my coffee. I'm also going to make some homemade granola which is going to be AWESOME since I love love love yogurt with granola.
I start school in 5 days.. that's when this will be hard. On Mondays I will be at school for 3 classes in a row! Time to start planning snacks now!
EDITED:
Ok so after scouring 2 stores I couldn't find one of the ingredients for the granola (unsweetened coconut flakes). So! I bought a whole coconut instead. That was fun. And messy. And loud! Every time I hit it with a hammer my motion sensor alarm would yell at me. I also have coconut water, but no idea what to do with it. I'll be saving it for a recipe for sure!
Well..
The granola was a bust. I sent my mom home with it. It just didn't have the flair I was hoping for. And it doesn't help that my yogurt has to be plain full fat.. which kind of tastes like old milk. :/
The kale chips were good, they satisfied my need for crunch. The pureed cauliflower was good as well.
<--- My avocado and tomato salad? SLAMMING! I'm going to go out and get a bushel of avocados tomorrow so I can have that salad at least once a day. I was eating it slow so that I could savor every bite. Oh.Yum.
I must get good food in this house if I'm going to succeed. Last night I would have killed to have a handful of almonds or pecans! I haven't gone really anywhere in quite a few days. Now that the kids are in school again I can get that stuff in order.
As you've probably noticed, I lost 1.5 pounds since yesterday! That's a big deal!! And I feel less.. heavy? Not full and weighed down. Stupid sugar and flour and processed crap! I bet the suicide rate would go down a lot if people would cut out just processed foods alone. Sad.
All I've had today so far is a cup of coffee with whipping cream (only full fat dairy in my fridge, lol). I'll be getting plain cream today for my coffee. I'm also going to make some homemade granola which is going to be AWESOME since I love love love yogurt with granola.
I start school in 5 days.. that's when this will be hard. On Mondays I will be at school for 3 classes in a row! Time to start planning snacks now!


Well..

I'm not gonna lie. Waking up this morning I was excited and nervous. I hadn't given much thought about my morning coffee. Until I opened my eyes. I remembered reading that I can have full fat dairy as long as its not sweetened. Whipping cream was used as a creamer substitution. Since my vanilla silk has sugar, that was't an option. Thank God I was going to make tiramisu for Christmas Eve but couldn't because we could t find ladyfingers. So I had an entire container of whipping cream!
I brewed my coffee and added some cream. Making sure to triple check the sugar (0). I tasted it half expecting it to be nasty and half expecting it to be amazing.
It's ok..
It will definitely help me cut down to one cup of coffee a day, that's for sure!
So this morning I'm having a couple of boiled eggs and some roasted cauliflower.
Here's to a new year and a new me!

Ok it's 7pm and I've had some weird food today, not bad cravings and a lingering headache. I'm tempted to have hubby pick up some almonds from store. And avocados. And..
