Breakfast!

Well, I woke up this morning thinking, am I nuts? What did I do yesterday? Oh yeah, that's right, you ate a bag of Oreo cookies and decided you had enough of sugar controlling your life!

So this morning I had two glasses of ice water, yum, took care of nursing baby Eva then headed into the kitchen to cook my breakfast! I had a half a tomato sliced, some sauteed eggplant with garlic, and made an 'omelete' with egg beater, diced red onion, and feta. Feta had no sugar so I was all for it!



It was actually really filling and tasting. About two hours later I had an apple. I am supposed to try to eat every two hours (yeah, good luck with that). I am going to try and keep my snacks to fruit, veggies, and a bit of lean protein when I need to.

For dinner I am thinking something with Shrimp since Michael will be out having a beer with a friend who is having a birthday. That means he'll have nachos and most likely come home exhauted! And I get to eat what I want, which I guess is shrimp and veggies!

I would like to add a disclaimer that I am not doing this specifically for weight loss. I'm doing this to get rid of my horrible cravings and to be a healthier person. After I prove to myself I *can* live without sugar, then we will consider a weight loss plan. I do want to exercise while I am doing this though!

Seven Days...

Well since my last post I've lost 10 lbs and gained about 8 back. After a trip to the grocery store to get cat liter which also involved several chocolate bars and a bag of cookies, I realize I really need to do something different.

I've always had trouble with sugar and those refined carbs, so as I was reading around on some blogs today, I've decided to go 7 days without sugar.

Seven frickin' days.

I thought what would be better than blogging about it each day to help keep me on track. Sure, I don't have alot of blog readers, but the ones I do have are good friends. Maybe they could help me stay on track.

Officially I am going to start tomorrow, a Friday, and will to next friday. The plan I am doing is 30 days sugar free, but if I think of it that way my head might explode, so I am going to take it a week at a time.

No sugar also means no starchy fruits, artificial sweeteners, alcohol, juices, soda, starchy veggies, grains. Which means no bread. Or morning oatmeal. For all that is holy, how am I going to do this!

I know sugar is bad for you. HFCS is even worse and somehow I need to purge these things from my body. It ain't gonna be easy with an ice cream store right across the street from me, but I gotta do it. Living trapped by my food sure isn't fun! So for 7 days let's see what we can do. After my long term goal is met, maybe I can work on moderation, but that discussion will be for another day.

We will start tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to take pics of all my yummy meals.
