The 40-Day Sugar Fast :: Week 1 Complete!

Hey y’all! I survived my first week without refined/added sugars!!!!!!! Yipeeeeee..Praise the Lord!

As a quick reminder, I’m doing the 40-Day Sugar Fast, which started last Monday. Over the last week I didn’t have any sweets, no chocolate, no wine, save Friday night when I did cheat because we had dinner at a friend’s house – and had a glass of wine. I didn’t have Starbucks at all, which mentally was hard, but really wasn’t so difficult in the end {previously it was like every day….seriously}.

I didn’t have any mid-day crashes, I didn’t feel lousy, I didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything. Overall, I felt like my first week without sugar was really good.

Now that I’m thinking thru it all again, I’ve had a couple of slight headaches, but then we were in the upper 60’s Friday and 30-something yesterday…the weather-swings tend to give me headaches so I don’t know for sure that those were sugar-related.

I have lost 3 pounds…not that I am trying to lose any weight. But knowing that sugar is a huge part of my normal diet, I was curious to see how no sugar would affect my weight so I weighed myself a week ago to see what it would be over time.

I have’t changed anything else. I’m still doing my normal treadmill walk/runs and in the last week I’ve done 32.32 miles {I love my Fitbit!}.

That’s it! I’m hoping week two is even easier than the first.

I’m keeping this Matthew 5:6 verse in front of me and if you’re curious about the 40-Day Sugar Fast – here’s the link!

I hope y’all have a great week!
