During the day it wasn't too hard. I had a protein shake for breakfast. I brought peanuts for a morning snack at work and a sandwich and greek yogurt for my lunch. For supper my boyfriend made a cajun cream sauce that he served with shrimp and spinach noodles. It was fabulous!
At home in the evening proved to the most challenging time... Right when I walked in the door I almost grabbed a Thin Mint cookie before realizing. Later I was staging some photos for my new business (Reborn Boutique) and made a cup of hot cocoa to use in one of the pictures. After photographing it, I brought it up to my mouth before realizing.
I tried to keep myself busy (or occupied) for the rest of the evening so I wouldn't want or be tempted by the sweets in my apartment.
But I'm happy to say, I did it!! I survived day number one of no sweets!
**For these 5 days of NO SUGAR, I am NOT allowing myself to eat sweets (ice cream, chocolate, pop, sugary drinks, hot chocolate, candy, cookies, donuts, etc.) I am allowing myself to eat things that have sugar in them though (greek yogurt, peanut butter, fruit, graham crackers etc.) Maybe eventually I will be at the point of eliminating most sugar from my diet but this in itself will be a big enough challenge and I'm hoping it will curb my sweet tooth.
