This week's post will probably be short and sweet (no pun intended). You know when you just feel like you're coming down with a cold? Sore head, aching face (sinus pain), scratchy throat and sneezing? That's me now. Just in time for the weekend 😒. I'm nursing a hot toddy (hot lemonade, whisky, lemon and honey) with a couple of paracetamol! Going to knock it on the head before it takes a hold. I honestly can not remember the last time I had a cold. The good news is that this is only my second drink of alcohol all week!!
So I thought about the sugar free month thing. It was a shock. I wasn't expecting it. Hadn't thought about it or prepared for it. And I had a burning question... what is sugar? We have fructose and sucrose and lactose and maltose and alcotose and smartietose and fingers and toes (sorry I'm getting carried away). I'm not giving up fruit or dairy for starters! So I thought maybe just the added sugar - sweets and chocolates and biscuits and cake and all the rest! I could do that. Just February. Just 4 weeks! Only 28 days! I can do that!! I failed on day one!! In fact just the thought of not eating it made me eat it even more. It was a big psychological problem. I really really just couldn't do it. I think I've eaten more chocolate this week than I have since Christmas. And quite frankly I can't afford the calories! So I'm sorry I'm not giving up sugar! I need my fix.
Anyway, I'm still doing the 5-2 diet. Enjoying it in fact. In the swing! Fingers crossed for more weight loss this week.
That's me....I so need my bed! 🤧🤒ðŸ˜
Don't judge my story by the chapter you walk in on.
