So this is my sixth sugar-free day. It is also the day I will be visiting my family pretty much all day. I need to prepare a bit. I have a few snacks that I will bring in case hunger strikes and all that's there is animal crackers. I will pack some nuts, a larabar, and a kombucha.
Day 5 was pretty easy. I spent the day with my very understanding and supportive friend, so I was able to process some of my feelings a bit better than I normally do on my own. I discussed with her how I have noticed when I am off sugar that I actually feel hunger that is less immediate and intense. It's a lower level, "you should eat soon," rather than "FEED ME NOW." She reminded me of the term "hangry," which I think is the perfect explanation for the feeling of a low blood sugar hunger. I love not having those upswings and dips in energy and mood that come from sugar.
I am still having slight headaches at night, but for the most part they are gone. I am also still fairly tired when I wake up but I have also had two late nights in a row. I haven't written much about exercise, but hope to in future posts. For now, I'm off to run!
