Week 1

One whole week without sugar and I've actually surprised myself. Honestly...it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm always up for a challenge but I wasn't quite sure what to expect. How would I feel? Will I have cravings? What can eat? How much am I truly giving up? All in all, I must say, not bad. The first few days I was pumped and super motivated. Over the weekend we had a few plans and I was nervous about eating out. Saturday I had a major headache and all weekend I felt a little more sluggish than usual (not sure if this had anything to with staying up til 4 in the morning finishing up the True Blood series???) When I told Cardy I felt tired, his response was, "What's new?" {smart ass}

A few things I learned:
-I can pass up chocolate covered strawberries
-Sugar free treats aren't as bad as I thought (I'm trying to limit myself but they are a lifesaver in a pinch)
-There are very few cereals without sugar
-Plain oatmeal tastes like paste
-Plain yogurt tastes like sour cream

New best friends (and some re-discovered):
-Hummus. I found a kalamata olive hummus at Sunflower Market - Dee-lish!
-Laughing cow light spreadable cheese
-Light string cheese
-Fruit
-Diet Coke Zero {hey, I didn't give up carbonation or caffeine}
