Day 10

Well, we've finally come to the end.  Only a few hours left.  Its been difficult for me, but not impossible.

The hardest parts are the unexpected offerings.  When Eric is offered those cookies at work, he eats them.  When Thomas sees that bubble gum in my purse, he really wants a piece.  The mom who carpools Thomas offered him trip to the ice cream store.  He declined and told her and his friend about his sugar de-tox.

So my downfalls were eating some pumpkin pie and I had a little bit of honey in my tea last night. I really wanted it.

I had a '5 grams of sugar' Kind bar before working out this week.  It was heavenly.  And that's what I'm hoping I take away from this:  I will be satisfied with less sugar as being sweet treat.  That my sweet tooth has diminished slightly.  I have visions of going to my favorite french bakery tomorrow and getting my favorite overpriced chocolate eclair.  But I think I'm going to hold off.  I'm going to try to stick with it and eat less sweet.

Thomas has done super well.  He hasn't seemed to miss his sugar as much as I have.  Its like he really wants the sugar when he sees it, but otherwise, he's fine.  Tonight we're going to a restaurant and not getting a soda.  That's hard for Thomas.  But he doesn't long for sugar during the day like I do.

In the end, I'm glad I did my sugar de-tox.  I certainly don't miss my "sugar crashes" which I can really feel at times.  I don't have that up and down feeling when I don't eat sugar.
What about you?

Day 6

I would really really REALLY like a hot fudge sundae right now.  I wanted one last night during the bewitching hour too but I had to settle for some dried apricots.

Yesterday, Thomas really wanted a piece of Halloween candy when he arrived home and started to watch a show.  That's his bewitching hour.  So he decided to put a quarter in the jar and have a candy.

I asked Eric if he had partaken in any donuts at work and yes, he had one.

I really haven't eaten any extra sugar, besides a spoon in my coffee, and its been hard.
