11-20/90 Sugar Doesn’t Have A Hold On Me

What’s up, Awesome Sauce?!

Do you ever have those days when you see too many paths before you and you’re not sure which one to walk down? I feel like that today. This week even.

Sometimes it’s hard to get out of my head and into my heart. And I want to take steps forward but find myself getting discouraged along the way. I find myself wondering “what is it I’m supposed to be doing? Like really doing?”

In my meditations, I often ask, “Where can I do the most good?” I’m not sure that I’m really listening. A lot of times I hear fitness. But that doesn’t make sense to me anymore. All of my degrees are in health and human development and that theme.

Ha! Even as I write that, it seems like a form of fitness. Plus, I’m not even really fit anymore. And that would be another certification I’d have to get to be a personal trainer. See what I mean? One of those weeks.

What I do know is I want to make a difference to the people I connect with in an uplifting way. I want to use the skills I’ve learned throughout my life because they actually work and are good stuff. And I want every day to have fun and joy and playfulness. And I want to help provide for my family with the time I’m spending away from them.

Side note: Garyvee was talking about how he maintains his happiness by asking “would this matter if I just got a call that my mom died.” I’ve been doing that but with my son. Whatever annoyance is there is immediately gone after I ask myself that question.

I’ve just been thinking a lot. Where can I do the most good? What shall I do? Should I focus the majority of my energy on my podcast (which I adore) and step away from coaching (trading time for money)? Every path seems so good even though it is bombarded with challenges.

Anyway, the no refined sugar thing is going well. I emotionally don’t want to reach for sugar and I don’t feel deprived of my food choices. I do overall feel like I have more energy.

And I’ve been complimented twice on my skin this last week. Perhaps this no sugar business is good for the skin as well?

Today, I just feel neutral in a sense. I think I’m just going to take the day to just be. Play. Watch a movie. Take time just appreciating all I do have and all that I am.

I decided I wasn’t going to journal daily about the food I was eating because I was getting bored with sharing the same meals over and over again with you guys. So I’ll just touch base as I feel like it. 🙂

I’m still eating the same things basically.

A smoothie for breakfast. Stirfry for dinner. A Lara Bar, cucumber, or other fruit for a snack. Lunch is usually some form of veggie burger with a side of potatoes or something similar. I have been adding in sauerkraut.

Beyond Burger with a slice of cheese and a side of chips. To be honest, the chips upset my stomach a bit. Keoni felt the same way. But the beyond burger was on point.
Frozen bananas make every smoothie better and then topped with cacao nibs! Hot dang. This was delicious.
Costco has this bag of awesome!

Thanks for listening, Awesome Sauce. You add sprinkles of joy to my day and I appreciate you taking time to read my random posts. You mean a lot to me. So thank you.

Have a beautiful day and I’m sending so much love to you, Steph

PS. I decided to try another TheraBox.
