Day 5 of my NO SUGAR Journey: Little Meals

Lots of little meals have been my salvation today! 

I had many long sittings today and normally I get pretty hungry during things like church and classes. 

I had a good small breakfast: chicken sausage and melon with a bottle of water. 

Probably the best part of my morning is that first drink of water! 

If you ask my boyfriend, who apparently thinks it's the funniest thing in the world, I have a very dramatic response to that first sip of water. 

Haaaaaaah!!! 

Man I get thirsty at night! 

I later had a little cup of ice tea and continued on to choir practice after church. 

After that I had a small lunch and bought a large iced green tea from coffee bean, which was so helpful while I was sitting in my next class! 

I think filling myself up with water not only helps keep my skin hydrated (my facialist, Brigitte Beauty, told me my skin was dehydrated and I needed to drink more water or tea) but it suppresses my appetite. 

I had some sushi (my fav) for dinner to celebrate a recent accomplishment and went home. 

I thought I was done for the night but I got to talking and hanging out with my mom, while wearing a detox mask on my face, and ended up staying up WAY past my bed time. 

Mother-Daughter time always goes late into the night. 

Almost 3 hours later, and a super dry face mask that I forgot to take off, I was really hungry and really thirsty! 

We had some tea and I made chicken sausage for a snack. 

Don't worry, I eventually washed that mask off and now my face is REALLY soft.

I know the list of meals today might seem pretty boring but if you noticed, there was no sugar in there. 

I was perfectly fine walking by the donut table at choir practice because I used my detour tactic and I was pretty satisfied from what I had eaten before. 

The many little meals kept me satisfied and the teas kept me entertained and hydrated. 

Today's lesson: lots of small meals throughout the day. You don't need to get full, just satisfied. 

I seriously love Coffee Bean! They have almond milk for their chia teas which makes it way healthier, REALLY good ice teas that are so sweet on their own they don't need to be sweetened by any sugar at all and I have a gift certificate.... So it's basically free for me. 

Joyful in all things,
