Yesterday I started a sugar detox. Because cravings are tough and I wanted to figure out how to reset my body… boy was the headache real. It’s crazy what sugar can do to your body and your mind. Here’s to day two! I’m not asking that it gets easier only that I get stronger.

Tips for staying focused and keeping head on the current point and not on the last 3 errors you made?

Adding on to what Jonathan asked about overcoming errors. What do you do or how do you get past really bad line calls? This weekend in one game there were 3 blatantly IN balls or on the line at best that were called out. It makes me steam and takes a few points to get my mental back on track. It derailed me in one game that I didn’t get back from and we lost because I couldn’t stop thinking about how bad it was. 3 on or inside lines and all called out and when I asked “are you serious, that was so in guys” the response was it’s my call to make not yours. Talk about fighting off the unhinged pickleball…I nastied the dude on my next serve and said oops, guess that on was in 🤣

I've been crushing it lately but had I camped overnight with my daughter's scout troop. I was bored and inhaled almost a whole bag of pickle flavored potato chips. Processed food is designed for overconsumption. Those bastards! 😆 But I tracked those chips anyways. I didn't play as much last week on top of it. My calorie deficit averaged 375 instead of 500 but it's a win because I still stuck to it. I lost less but I did lose. Diet fatigue is real. Sometimes you want to just eat freely without the confines of weighing and measuring but for me, I can't be trusted when I'm bored around processed delicious junk food. Fortunately, no more campouts until September! 😅

Yesterday my partner and I came first place in our county rec league! We’ve been playing for 6 weeks against some good competition and it all came down to the final tournament yesterday. Locking in on diet and training the past couple weeks has definitely helped me get here! Ps. I’m rewarding myself with a paddle upgrade. I currently use the Honolulu J2K and love it but want to try something new. I prefer a control feel so any recommendations will be helpful!
