Nice Buns!

I am not sure whether this is allowed or not, but seeing how waffles are allowed (in our deal), I can't see why raisin buns shouldn't be. If they are or not - two is consumed nonetheless. Not that I missed the doughy feel they bring to your stomach nor that it sticks to your teeth, but I needed the pre-lunch snack.

May the force be with you!

:: EDIT :: Meeting with the neighbours after the post was written, 3 more buns ...

Habit, Habits, Habits

It do seem like the sugarcrave is slowly getting out of the system. It takes less and less effort to steer clear of the shelves with chocolate in the grocery stores. The saying no to desserts and cakes in the office and home is even easier.
The situations that still makes me want that chocolate bar is the days when I get in to the office way to early and spend long days there. I guess the solution to not work long days is as good one as any :-)

Until next time - stay healthy, stay sugarfree in Twenty-Ten!

Happy Birthdays

Friday - birthday @ Dad's place
Result - no sugar

Saturday - visiting a café downtown Oslo
Result - hardly any sugar (eh... one scone)

Sunday - birthday for baby sister
Result - no sugar

I wasn't too happy saying no to milk chocolate, chili-nuts, blueberry cream cake, carrot cake nor orange cake but the Saturday scone was perhaps not really needed. Then again, falling through there and not on two birthday parties was at least "cheaper" - caloriwise:

1 Scone << 3 Slices of Cake

Math made me do it

Milestones

There's a few milestones you have to pass in order to be sugarfree throughout a whole year. Notable ones beeing

-Attending a birthday party for someone under 10 without eating cake
-Going home to mum's place and not eating sweets
-Setting off on a business trip without having desserts and pastries in meetings
-Surviving a hungover-Sunday without neither chocolate nor chips

Beeing quite close to finishing off my first business trip this year and having kept off sugar I'll say that #3 is ticked off on this list too now. But with both dad and my sister having their birthdays in the week to come I shouldn't be too cocky on the outcome for February just yet.

Mmm... Marabou

What I miss most, having stayed off sugar (well almost) for a month now, is not the cakes and ice-cream at parties. It's not that I can't have a bowl of chips on Fridays. It's more the convenience, the convenience of just getting a Snickers while at the store craving for some fast energy. Instead I resort to bananas and smoothies for instance, which of course is healthier but not quite as rewarding in a direct way as a bar of chocolate is.

Well well, let's hope that fades soon so I can walk past the aisles of temptations without feeling an urge to get a couple of hundred grams of milk chocolate :)
