It's been eight days since I started the 21-day Crazy Sexy Diet.
I'm coffee free, alcohol free, sugar free, meat free, dairy free and gluten-free for 21-days!
The Crazy Sexy Diet cleanse is puts you on the fast track to vibrant health and happiness. I'm already a vegetarian, so the meat free part is easy.
• coffee free - I have a soy chai latte almost every day, or coffee with some fancy caramel macchiato cream. I've gotten a couple of good whiffs of some delicious coffee, but no breakdowns, yet.
• alcohol free - I like going out to dinner on the weekend and have a glass of Resling. I haven't had any alcohol in the house since the holidays, so I'm not missing a cold drink.
• sugar free - For some odd reason I haven't craved a cupcake or piece of chocolate. My creative director at work has a jar of mini Twix, Kit-Kat, Snickers, Butterfinger... you name it! Let's say I haven't stepped one foot in her office. I have been eating almonds dusted with dark cocoa. That seems to help with the sweet and crunch, because I kind of miss my chips.
• dairy free - I love chesses I and haven't been tempted to put it on my salad at the salad bar. One day I craved some queso though, but I got over it.
• gluten-free - This is something my husband and I have been trying to practice since October. I made my homemade gluten-free bread three times now! However, many of our meat substitutes are not gluten-free and I miss them. But my husband is the Tofu King, so it's not so bad.
The cleanse/diet hasn't been as hard as I thought, especially with my support group. And it's much easier at home than at work. Friday's are filled with cakes and doughnuts!
It's disappointing that I haven't lost one pound yet though. I didn't gain either. Teaching my Zumba classes keeps me active and I see a personal trainer once a week to tone. I do feel less bloated. My tummy isn't at it's usual puffy state and no pimples.
Thirteen more days to go!
