Update on the 21-day diet. Somehow my husband convinced me to let go of sugar AND caffeine on the same day! Okay, I had already been thinking about it. I figured if I can't have sugar what's the point of a cup of coffee? Well, I wish I'd followed my original plan and given up sugar and then three days later caffeine. This weekend was HELL! I felt like I had the flu. I spent most of Sat and Sun on the couch, lethargic, with achy muscles and a splitting headache. I took a 2 hour nap on Sunday and STILL went to bed at 9 and went right to sleep. I was in a constant fog, I could barely think straight. I was pretty snappy at my husband but since he is foregoing coffee with me he was understanding. All I could think about on Sunday was glazed Old Fashioned Donuts dunked in coffee. It wasn't pleasant. But today is better. The headache comes and goes but it's tolerable. I have much more energy but still have some pretty strong sugar cravings at times. The Old Fashioned with a cup of joe still sounds mighty good. But then when doesn't a donut sound good?????
Am I glad I'm doing this? Hmmmm...........yeah. At least I know I will be soon like maybe tomorrow.

Oh my goodness, I was craving donuts so much this weekend...sigh.
Keep up the good work! You are doing great. The only thing I am with you on is caffeine, I have been mostly free of that for a while and if you drink decaf, you really don't miss it so much.
Hang in there. You are doing awesome! I wish I had your will power. Keep us posted.
