21DSD Days 13-17 Catching the Stride and Boredom Prevention

As the days rolled in to week #2 of the 21 Day Sugar Detox I noticed a significant decrease in the "panic" about food. I'm able to go in the grocery store to pick up some grassfed beef and eggs without glancing at the other aisles in longing and I can pack the kids lunches without having to remind myself not to just pop a raspberry in my mouth. 

My goals for this program were exactly these goals. I don't think I ever shared my list of goals for this 21 days so I'd though I share now:

4. Establish meal planning routines
