Sugar Free January: Week 3 Update

And week 3 of sugar free January is done! I have to admit, it’s getting easier. But I am getting pretty bored with my food (mainly the snacks). At this point, I’ve eaten A LOT of dried mango, cheese and potato chips. I’m not mad about it, just getting a bit bored of it. Last Sunday I ate a “sugar-free” chocolate mousse that used erythritol instead of sugar. I’ve been trying to avoid sugar alcohols but my mom made it and you can’t say no to your mom! 

I’m certainly excited to get back to eating that frozen apple cake in my freezer but I’m also hoping to do some version of sugar free February and beyond. I’ll have to think more about what that will look like.

What I Ate This Week

Again, I didn’t venture TOO far from my typical meals but 3 things really made my week better:

  1. “Sugar-free” Chocolate mousse 
  2. Savarin brillat cheese (SO great if you like soft cheese)
  3. Another round of my vegan chickpea “egg” salad wraps!

A High Level Look at My Sugar Free January this Week: 

I’m getting more used to it! 

The last week has been: Super Easy – Easy – In between – Hard – Incredibly Hard
My mood has been: Good! No complaints actually
My sleep has been: Still good! 
One thing I learned was: I need to get better at living without alcohol. I’m definitely craving the glass of wine after work.
