The last week of my no sugar and no caffeine experiment is over! While I didn’t experience the cravings I was expecting since my timing was off on my monthly cycle, I did end up cheating a couple of times this past week. Here’s a quick review of the week and what I ate. Again,

Favorite No Sugar and No Caffeine Recipes
To completely stay Paleo with no sugar and no caffeine I’ve had to cook the majority of my meals. I enjoy cooking and during this experiment I’ve discovered some excellent recipes.

Fell off the Sugar Detox Wagon
I ate ice cream today. I justified it because we were getting ice cream to celebrate my son earning 7 stars on his goal chart. I justified it because it’s almost the end of summer weather. I justified it because I’m only 3 days away from the end of my experiment. I even justified it

Your Sugar Intake May Affect Your Menstrual Cycle Length
At the end of my week 3 review two days ago I mentioned that I expected this final week to be the hardest because I thought I was about a week away from the start of my period. During this time I usually eat a ridiculous amount of dark chocolate. So imagine my surprise when my period starts

Week 3 Review
This second week of no sugar and no caffeine my goal was to read God’s Word for at least 10 minutes each day. That again didn’t happen. I read my Bible 3 days this past week for about 10 minutes. I had determined that I would read my Bible after dropping my son off at

Come and Rest a While
Since I’m no longer consuming sugar and caffeine I’ve come to really appreciate a good night’s sleep. If I don’t get enough sleep at night, which happens often, I feel the effects differently now. Before this experiment I would get sleepy in the afternoon and I would eat something (like chocolate) or drink some tea

Graciously Accepting and Declining Non-Primal Foods
A few weeks ago we took our son to a neighbor’s house for a playdate. It was our first time at their house and they very kindly made homemade pizza for us because they remembered my son telling them that he likes pizza. I hadn’t prepared for this possibility and didn’t handle the situation well.
