This week I'm following the first week of Sarah Wilson's IQS (I quit sugar) program. I've also decided to quit coffee for now. This is something that I will hopefully live with for the rest of my time so therefore I'm being easy on myself and taking the time to transition gently and slowly. I'm going to keep a bit of an unstructured record of the journey here, a food diary and a health/wellness record.
Pre-IQS I've been feeling really tired, anxious, moody, unmotivated, emotional, bloated. I hope that along the way I feel less of these things and more of the positive states of being.
Sunday (day 1) I did skip my usual morning coffee. I had multigrain toast and vegemite. Followed by hot chips and tomato sauce for lunch. Then a couple of candy snakes and some lime & pepper chips as a snack. Dinner was crispy chicken wings with celery & carrots (takeaway). I drank tea or water. Obviously a few bad choices but that's ok, I'm ok with that.
Today (day 2) no coffee again, instead I had water this morning and then took a cup of black earl grey tea with me to school. Had to go to the shops after so I have just (at around 10am) had some vegemite and butter wholemeal toast and an added sugar free teeccino. I'm feeling a bit tired today, I have a slight headache (guessing caffeine withdrawal). But I still feel motivated and plan to go and do a bit of exercise (which I hope will motivated me to get started on the housework!)
I'm not sure yet what the rest of the day or even the week will bring. I hope to keep feeling positive about it all though.
You are doing great :) :) :)
