Day 8: Caught myself slipping

Urrgh! Had two heavy meals today which have playing on my mind tonight - A Tosilog, which is a Filipino dish with pork, rice and 2 fried eggs - and a Chicken Iskendar, which chicken served on white rice with a variety of salads. Both rate very highly on the calorie and sodium meter but surprisingly not the sugar meter, which was a pleasant surprise however coming in at number one was that Organic Apple and Blackcurrant Juice! Whaat? I suppose it doesn't matter if it's organic or not, fructose is fructose; there's no escaping that.

Today's Negatives (65g of Sugar = 16 tsp):

• Those convenience meals - although I still rate the Tosilog and Iskendar over any other takeaway alternative; these two meals still account for most of today's big numbers
• That Organic drink. Loved it but so costly (both sugar and money wise)
• Another over-2000 calorie day. That's not going to look good at tomorrows weigh-in :(
• Slight side effects from the detox/cleanse continue e.g. drowsy etc but nothing major enough to get in the way of work and the drive there and back
• Need to get some snack food to compliment the 2+ litres of water I drinking a day

Today's Positives

• Sleeping in - since starting this route I've been really sleeping well. Not sure who to contribute that to; the chamomile or the detox/cleanse or the menu choices but we're on to a good thing.
• No cravings whatsoever and despite the lower consumption of food, my appetite has been fine
• Work sure feels a lot easier when you start at 10am for some reason

Tomorrow I ride out the rest of cleanse to be followed up with a round of pro-biotics then straight into the Sarah Wilson 8-week sugar-free plan. Getting excited to see how all these changes are going to effect me going into Christmas this year. Until tomorrow, Eat well, Sleep tight and Good night!
