Week 2 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 regardless of whether I was experiencing any cravings or not. I did read my Bible more often but it definitely wasn’t 10 minutes every day.

The main problem was that I set the goal without a plan. I didn’t have a set time of the day to read and I didn’t keep track of my progress.

As for the experiment of no sugar and no caffeine I’ve managed to stick with it. My only exception was to continue taking Natural Calm, a magnesium supplement I take which has some Stevia in it.

Here’s  a quick review of the week and what I ate. Again, this isn’t comprehensive since I didn’t include all of the snacks I ate each day but it’s pretty close.

Pumpkin Pancakes from Practical Paleo with coconut butter
Salad with carrots, radishes, guacamole, proscuitto, and garlic sauce
Banana with almond butter
Leftover Chipotle salad bowl with carnitas, red sauce, and guacamole
