I am doing ok with cutting the sugar out of my diet....during the week. And you know what I am ok with 5 out 7 days. 70% of the time I am hitting my goal. The other 30% of the time I feel no guilt about enjoying treats. Hey, I work out at least 5 times a week, I am going to have a cookie.
The first night of no sugar was funny. I had dreams about giant frosted cookie monster cupcakes and dirt dessert. But, during the weeks I have passed up chocolate birthday cake and substitute after lunch cookies with clementines. I switched out fig newtons for whole figs. I get my chocolate fix at night with 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder blended with a cup of organic skim milk. No swissmiss (first ingredient is sugar) for me. I already eat peanut butter that is just straight ground peanuts (no sugar, no salt, no added oils) and I am obsessed with it (Teddy!).
Now, I may have gone a little over board when I let myself eat some cookies on Sunday. I may have at one point said "I'm eating my feelings!" as I was watching the end of the Patriots season and stuffing my face with cookies. Cookie total on the day 5. Oops. That may have been a little overboard.
I know this weekend I will have another chance to practice moderation as I will be baking for my roommate's birthday. She has asked for cookies. I think I can oblige her. (Must remember not to eat half the cookies before I give them too her!)
