I successfully got through another day not eating
sugar.
I woke in the middle of last night with a near-migraine. It was fine after a few advil and hours of
sleep. Was it because of the no-sugar or
due to something else?
The morning was a little iffy. I needed something to eat on my run. Normally, I will have a peanut butter and
jelly or gels, blocks or beans. All
contained sugar. I didn’t have natural
peanut butter yet. So I baked a potato at
home and seasoned it with butter and salt and pepper. It was actually a surprisingly good snack
while running. I also ate some pecans
afterward.
The rest of the day was relatively easy eating. Leftover soup and cornbread for lunch and
nachos for dinner. One thing that I
noticed today is that I didn’t get the extreme hunger that I usually get. Again, I don’t know if that is just today or
due to not eating sugar.
I went to the store. What a nightmare. I was reading every single label. It was amazing the items that had sugar (for
example, diced Italian tomatoes and seasoned black beans) and those that didn’t
(tomato sauce and plain black beans). I
could not find a wheat bread without sugar. I looked at all the tortillas to
find one without sugar. Many of the
tortillas had lists of ingredients a mile long.
Shouldn’t that be pretty simple?
Are my moods better? It’s hard to say yet. I
cleaned the whole house and didn’t get the rage I usually feel when I am the
only one that seems to do chores around the house. I was still very tired and disappointed.
