Day 3 - No Refined Sugar...EVER?!

So today, so far, has been going well, but it's only 3 p.m....I have a ways more to go before the day is through - especially considering the evenings are the hardest part in the day for me in regard to feeling hungry and wanting to give in. I was recently reading this blog found here (click me) and in it the author talked about trigger foods and staying away from them completely. This is something that I most definitely understand. There are some foods which cause my motivation to stay slim to run out the door at, I'm sure, olympian gold medal speeds. My weaknesses in regard to food, are cake of any kind and for some reason chocolate chip cookies - yummers. heh... no...bad! haha.

So, as this friday is rapidly approaching, I am getting a little anxious. As I stated earlier (click me), I've decided to let friday be my "special" day and have decreed (yes, decreed!) that I must have one piece of whatever dessert my family is serving that night. As you can tell, I still am not sure about cutting refined sugar out of my life completely. It's definitely a tough decision to make. I'm going to see if I can manage some self-control this coming friday and rather than pretend cakes do not exist, enjoy a slice, but restrict my portion. Hopefully this won't trigger a binge on my part. Nervousness...


Day 3:
(6:30 a.m.) Breakfast: 1 apple, 6 almonds, 1 cup 2% milk
(11:30 a.m.) Lunch: 3 oz Pork loin, 2 pieces whole wheat toast, 12 oz. water
(3:30 p.m.) Snack: 1 apple, 6 almonds, 12 oz. water
(5:30 p.m.) Snack: 1 cup carrot slices (raw)
(7:30 p.m.) Dinner: 1 cup salad greens, 1 cup vegetables (steamed), 3 oz chicken breast, 1 cup 2% milk,
Supplements: Calcium pill, Multivitamin pill, Vitamin D pill...yuck...but necessary yuck...although personally I think the only thing these supplements actually do is make my pee more expensive...heh...oh well. I'd rather be safe than whatever that alternative might be...osteoporosis...broken hip when I'm seventy...who knows!

(Snack and Dinner info added later...just..you know..so you all know :) )



Hm...weird to think that there's a picture of something which is currently in my stomach floating around. hah. That's gross. Anyway, surprisingly that was one of the best tasting apples I've had in a LONG time. Weird. It was super crunchy, which I love - who doesn't! But it was also nice and tangy. Yum. 3:00 o'clock snack, I love you. :)
