Goodbye sugar.

Today is the day that I quit sugar! The first 2 weeks of the program are pretty gentle.. BUT STILL! Last night I had my last bowl of ice cream, bunch of grapes last night and my last beer. I came home yesterday to see a "gift" of Oreos & Poptarts from a family member.. they went straight into the hidden cupboard. Oh dearrrrr, it's going to be a tricky week. Plus, I have stocktake at work this week which always involves lollies and a birthday party of an avid baker. If I stick to the cheese platter I'll be ok? I'm excited about the challenge, plus I don't like failing. It is only 8 weeks after all. If I don't like the results I won't continue. My hopes for the program are that by the end I'll have more energy, lose my ever present food baby, clearer skin and less headaches. Plus Sarah Wilson says quitting sugar can help you be a nicer person.. sounds good to me!

Ok, lets go, it's Monday time!

This time next week..

Next Monday I will be starting Sarah Wilsons I Quit Sugar program. To say it is a little daunting is a understatement! I have semi convinced Ryan to partake in it with me too.. I told him he can still eat bacon so he didn't object too much.. yet. I have had the e-book and cookbook for a few months already and have read it many times but now it is actually going to happen for 8 whole weeks, at least. Well, I did make it to week 2 back in May but week 2 out of 8 doesn't really count in my books. I have been trying to prepare myself for week 1 by un-following Pinterest boards that involve baking.. as I'm sure they will not help cravings. I have found a lot of sugar free boards to replace them with though! I have started stocking up my cupboard with all sorts of sugar free things like herbal teas, nuts and an assortement of coconut products.

She's a keeper.

Last night I went to The Finders Keepers market in Melbourne. I hadn't been in over a year so it was nice to be able to go and see the new (and old) stalls. I am notorious for going to craft markets and loving everything, getting over whelmed by the crowds and then leaving with nothing. Well, not this time, this time I actually bought a few little things. There were so many beautiful ceramics that I would have loved to have gotten but with moving in a few months we are trying not to have to take too many heavy things. I couldn't resist the little confetti bowls though, I think everything should be covered in confetti. All the time.
