So...I think I'm addicted to sugar again. It was hard enough to get past the first time! I crave sweets. I don't give in but every once in a while but it does take time for your body (system) to reset itself. Even one slip up can be detrimental to the overall homeostasis in your body. You eat sugar, your tongue and brain like it, it sends pleasure signals through your body and voila- your body wants it again. DUH.
The author(ess) that got me in to Paleo has another book titled '21-day sugar detox'. I'm thinking I need rehab and may need to get this book.
I also haven't started my Whole30 program yet (which is essentially a sugar detox too if you analyze it). I said I would start October 11th but I'm not sure I'm ready. It takes some dedication that I'm not sure I'm ready to give. When we became paleo I felt ready, prepared. This time around (while still being paleo and only ingesting 'clean' foods) It seems like a bigger step.
It is not necessarily a more difficult regimen....but you are supposed to balance yourself. For instance, I eat til I'm full. It works. However my plates have become increasingly sparse and less balanced. Breakfast tends to be lunch (12:30) and I skip lunch because I'm not hungry because I just ate breakfast, then dinner is usually super late (9:30)...so at that point I have only eaten once, perhaps had a couple small snacks, and I never feel hungry. When you starve your body (unintentionally but still the same principal) your body utilizes every ounce of sustenance it is given and stores EVERYTHING. This is how you gain weight...and you're welcome for your 5th grade science lesson. Anyhow- so since I am only eating 2 meals a day and snacking in between, I'm not eating enough. So now I'm gaining weight again because it's screwing with my hormonal balances (which are always finicky due to PCOS).
My dream schedule looks something like this.
7AM-get up
7:15- be at complex gym or some other type of exercise
8:15- back home, showering
8:30- nursing Bryce (yes he still nurses at 2.5, unconventional yet our choice, move on :D )
9:00- cooking breakfast
9:30-eating breakfast (do you see the problem already? You're supposed to eat within an hour of waking maybe somebody can help with this area?)
10:00- family time and getting Bryce outside
11:45- seeing Keith off to work
12:00- Lunch
1:00 Bryce's nap
3:00- Bryce is up
Play time, errands, etc
6:00- dinner
etc....
^^^^ Just don't know how to switch from the schedule we are on (waking at 9, not eating until 11 or 12, never eating lunch (don't worry, Bryce eats food all day, this is lack of eating for Keith and I) and having dinner super late, then going to bed at like 1:30 or 2am...
Help!
