Detoxing or Got the Flu?

The flu. I feel like I have the flu. Welcome to my sugar detox. So I came in this decision on my own after a lot of indulgent weekends… To be honest, I've been pushing this back for years. The sugars of been adding up and I swore it wasn't going to affect me. I was going to work out and only use like Gatorade right? And that'll burn off right? No. Sugar sugar sugar is just that. My body's been rejecting the work I'm doing and I knew I needed a large change. I woke up and said that's it sugar! Cold turkey is a bitch. I hurt  I acheI feel like eating an entire bin of bulk candy. However just so you know it's not the sweets of candy that are getting me… It's the sweets, refined sugar, and just the sugar content of drinks that have been getting me. I looked last week everything I down inclusive of an extra couple of my daughters juice she didn't finish, or the last couple of years that she didn't lower, and it just added on. And I love for fruit and you've got someone even close to 200 g of sugar a day. I never thought this would be me because you're not gonna see me go just buy a candy bar… But it all adds up.

So here early today on my couch, in so much pain. Three years ago I had a double strain bout of the flu. Ended up even delirious I had a 105° temperature. All the bodyaches, the sneezing, sore throat etc. are identical! Sugar. Makes me sick… To be honest I'm super embarrassed, probably being emotional right now with a couple of tears because holy cow this hurts! However there's a Silverlining and I'm determined to show myself, my daughter, and my clients, that it's not just a dream you live a balanced, sugar sprinkled versus dumped all over everything life. That's all I have because I'm about to pass out super tired :-) they want done. Total natural sugars 40. Refined sugars zero

Ongoing Lessons in Life and BALANCE

Hi My name is Jessica and I’m admittedly diagnosed with  ADHD. Watching my feed it’s like, “right. was there a question? You randomly dress in tutus”  However, I’ve always been more than functional with this, but sometimes, or rather for me, one time, it got to be more than I could bear. It takes a transition to get you to re-think and reassess how you approach things and how you react to changes and issues that come about. This is the longest post ever but here we go... The Background  I’m a middle child.    Middle child syndrome set in long ago and I’m definitely a people pleaser, mediator if you will. I love it and sometimes hate it.    I want to be mediated on once in a while! Can someone sorta let me just BE there and NOT be involved in the resolution? The answer is usually no.   Pressing on, I got married a little young, 23 to be exact and proceeded into full Stepmom (two amazing kiddos), wife, worker, grad student, gym go...

Divorce diaries

 this will be a shorter sort of rambling entry. It all matters. With my ex and I called it off, I put up a huge wall and that wall translated into every part of the life I have with my daughter. As much as I thought it didn't matter, kindergarten has been kicking my ass. You read that right my ass. All of it. And I have a big one. And why? Because of that damn wall. We weren't talking. So House on the right didn't know what house on the left was dealing with. It was pretty much awful. But I have seen though is my daughter be someone I didn't know she was, and show me that she's 100 times smarter and more clever than I ever gave her a little clever but credit for. So the diary of a divorcee  starts here…this is the lesson. They're smarter than us. So you got to talk. Kindergarten is getting a little better, actually a lot better. Who the heck learns Mandarin and Spanish , before they get there for teeth? And oh gosh the front teeth. That's another entry 😜… B...

day one...ick

so basically, im a little dissappointed..but ill get to that... i have reached a BLAH state with my workouts and yo-yo weight issues so i decided to try Jay Johnson's bootcamp. I thought, hey, it works for cheerleaders, surely I can hang! I was so nervous!! I went out...spent $225 on the camp and ended up buying new workout clothes and shoes and sweats (geez, you cant just roll into valley ranch looking like trash right?!?!?) and i was ready this morning..queeziness and all...530am..i got there at 520a (10 push ups if you are late!!) and you know what???? it was cancelled! more specifically, no one showed! so im still pretty ticked about it!! i actually am actively trying to reach the caloric goals for each day, so i packed my 4-5 mini meals and im doing ok..i ended up doing some workout at the gym and i ran and such outside with some veterans of the camp before dissapointedly departing the location... lets just say that im overly ready for wednesday and i hope i dont have to get a...
