As most of you know I'm addicted to sugar!
A few days ago I watched a really scary video on how sugar is toxic and it's adverse effects are numerous, diabetes being only one. At the end of the video I had made up my mind - I was going to challenge myself and cut all sugar out of my life including hidden sugars like corn syrup, cereal, ketchup etc, on weekdays :P (I'm too weak to completely eliminate it :P)
I went grocery shopping and re-stocked my fridge with fresh veggies, almond milk (for healthy smoothies), salmon, chicken breast, almonds, oatmeal etc. I tend to eat bad food when I'm bored or I have nothing better to do or if it's just lying around. I have bad self control and cannot say no to sweet stuff. So I realized that the only solution available was to completely eliminate these foods from my house to prevent any form of temptation and replace them with good food like fruit. So that's what I did.
Good luck to me and bye bye oreo cookies?! It's going to be SO tough!! When I walk through a supermarket I am constantly staring at the cookies, ice cream etc.
My plan to keep myself on track is to keep a record of every single thing I eat every day so that I can make sure I stick to the plan.
Last night I went to the drive in movie theater with Jonathan and watched 'Epic'. First time at a drive in for both of us :-) . Drive in movie tip - always take pillows :) !! Drive in movies aren't the same without any snuggling :) .
