I did it—I really did it!
I kicked off my Whole30 reset today with an hour‑long walk, soup for breakfast, and veggies with sausage for lunch. Dinner is already planned: roasted chicken with a veggie blend, plus cinnamon‑lemon water to sip on.
And according to AI, here are a few perks of cinnamon and lemon:
“Blood Sugar Regulation: Cinnamon is known for its ability to help regulate blood sugar levels. It can enhance insulin sensitivity and improve glucose metabolism, making it beneficial for individuals managing diabetes or those looking to stabilize their blood sugar levels.
Digestive Health: Both cinnamon and lemon can aid digestion. Lemon juice stimulates the production of digestive enzymes, while cinnamon has been shown to reduce bloating and improve gut health by balancing gut bacteria.
Detoxification: Starting your day with warm lemon water and cinnamon can support liver function and detoxification. Lemon contains citric acid, which helps improve liver function, while cinnamon has hepatoprotective properties.
Immune Support: Lemon is rich in vitamin C, which boosts the immune system, while cinnamon has antibacterial and antiviral properties that can help protect against infections.
Weight Management: Some studies suggest that cinnamon may aid in weight loss by increasing fat burning and regulating appetite. Lemon also contributes to weight management by improving metabolism and controlling cravings.”
While I was out walking, I grabbed a small coffee—my warm cinnamon‑lemon water was the only thing I’d had all morning, and I was sleepy. The walk itself was great, though. Cool, sunny, and beautiful here in Las Cruces.
I also kicked off Day Two of The 100 Day Project. I finished two creative tasks today: a Bingo Board of goals I want to hit and a few new entries for my Memory Box.
Now I’m off to drink some water and get ready for dinner.
My Journey...
