Defining sugar is difficult and convoluted. So I decided simply no desserts and sugary drinks. No desserts after meals; no cakes or cookies or donuts from shops. No alcohol, either. Only tea, water, and black coffee.
It had been more than one week. I felt no difference at first. No weight loss. No inch loss. No clear skin. Nothing per the all-knowing internet.
Until today 7/7/2022. Math Teacher was feeling groggy. During the yoga class, I felt dizzy while bending down. Low blood sugar type of dizzy.
Sugar withdrawal, we decided.
7/12/2022 week 2: I really didn't see any difference. I felt groggy in week 1 and didn't sleep well for a couple nights. Other than that, nothing. Same weight. Same waistline. Same triple chins.
7/15/2022: We finally measured ourselves. Should've done this at the beginning, but we were both really bad at planning. So our waistlines were at 36" and 35", respectively. Guess which was which.
7/22/2022: The end of the challenge. We measured again. **Drum Roll** 36" and 35", respectively. Three weeks and three days of no desserts and no beer; wasted! 😡😠😢
The next measurement would be the end of the business trip. 😨😟
