Mid week update: No sugar, no wheat, no fun...

The amount of fruit I've eaten so far...
 
I'm sticking to it!  Ok it's only really day two but trust me, it feels like I have been doing this for weeks...

Yesterday I was in the office which helped enormously, I ate my body weight in fruit and drank umpteen glasses of water. Actually I drank 7 pints of water, I know this because I was ticking them off in a diary like the spod I am.....

Today was much harder. I'm not being plagued by physical cravings but I am gripped by cravings brought on by old habits and routines. Around 10am I would trot downstairs and make myself a bit of toast and cheese. Maybe at 11 I might have had a biscuit or another bit of toast. Lunch would probably be a sandwich. I could generally manage to last from lunch until dinner without more snacking but if I couldn't, another biscuit would probably hit the spot. 

Not today though! I was in the kitchen around 10am staring sadly at the toaster but made do with a banana. At 11 I was back in the kitchen and took myself back upstairs with an apple. I gave myself a stern talking to at lunch and had a baked potato and beans. However, I have just remembered that beans have added sugar so that turned out not to be the safe choice I thought it was going to be.  Lets gloss over that shall we?

I'm back in the office tomorrow and possibly Thursday - hopefully this break in routine will help shake the desire to inhale every sugary carb within grabbing distance.
