... I was wondering why you or whatever almighty creator, made that sweet crystalline substance obtained from various plants so darn delicious, yet so terribly bad for us? When I looked up 'sugar' in the dictionary, Oxford of course, there was an informal use of sugar: "a narcotic drug, especially heroin or LSD" - I'll say! I think I actually had withdrawal from sugar yesterday. My mood was up and down like a prom queen's head in the back of a limo!
Breakfast
1/3 cup large flake oatmeal cooked with 1/3 cup 1% milk and 1/3 cup water. Cinnamon and one packet of Splenda added.
Cuppa the 2nd most fantastic liquid on the planet, Earl Gray tea avec 1% milk and one Splenda
Mid-morning
1 litre water flavoured with Crystal Light (diluted to 1/4 recommended serving)
Lunch
Broccoli quiche - it tasted very gross, almost fishy (shudders) so luckily I didn't eat a lot of it
Garden salad with about one tbsp. of French dressing (frig, I love French dressing)
2 tbsp Callum's yogurt - fat free but had sugar (boo)
1 very small bite of the worst croissant in the world (I tried it to see why Callum wasn't eating it... then I figured it out!)
Mid-afternoon
Small skinny vanilla-bean latte... this is where it goes downhill a bit. I bought it from Second Cup and I assumed, wrongly so, that skinny meant sugar-free and fat-free, but it doesn't. It means 1% milk and the rest is the same. Dammit. I didn't finish it though 'cause I was feeling guilty.
Dinner
Portion of vegetarian Shepard's Pie, made by moi (no salt added)
1/2 can of Diet Pepsi, but it also tasted funny so it's now fizzing away waiting for me upstairs
1 litre water flavoured with another 1/4 package of Crystal Light
Evening indulgence
14 Quaker rice cakes (100 cal)
Cup of light hot chocolate (45 cal)
Exercise
Walking around Square One mall for 3 hours fending off crazed Americans!
Husband isn't going to be home tonight and I fear I will slip with food intake somehow. I bought light hot chocolate (45 cal. per serving) and I'm hoping that will take away any craving for sweeties... aww, I could never stop loving sweeties, I meant sweets. I almost caved several times today, but am very proud to say that I didn't. Sadly I always beat myself up. I can't stop thinking about the fact that I probably should've had something lighter for both lunch and dinner AND that I shouldn't have had that vanilla-bean latte.
The weird thing about me (one of) is that I can totally let myself go and then all of a sudden I decide it's time to shake myself out of it; I become totally brutal with myself. There must be a way to achieve a comfortable middle ground. This will be a goal for me. Must figure out how to find a comfortable and healthy way of living. Extremes are for sports and boobs, not me.
Today's GOISF:
This one time (at band camp... you know you were thinking it) I ate a whole box of Peak Freans cookies, the mixey-pack. Now this alone may shock you, but there's more, there's always more. When we lived in our last house in Burnaby, we lived approximately 5 minutes drive from Safeway. Have you guessed it yet? Yep. I ate the whole box of cookies (starting in the parking lot), by the time I pulled in the driveway. But oh no! I had to pull back out of the driveway and drive until I found a garbage can to dispose my evidence in.

P.S.
I'm trying out the Chub Club tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes!
