I was full of energy on day five and didn't really crave a candybar. On my five hour roadtrip to the Black Hills I stopped and ate a banana. For the first time in a long time, I didn't even get tired on the drive. No sugar and no caffeine was working great! However, then my folks took us out to dinner. I was going to order the sirloin, then opted for the bison burger, thinking lowfat, healthy meat. But, I forgot about the bun. When the bun came, it was whole grain, so I didn't feel too awfully guilty eating half of it. I just nibbled on the second half of the burger - no more bun. I was feeling full and pretty good. Then the children ordered dessert and asked me to share it with them. Well, I don't get to eat this particular restaurant but maybe once every year or two. So, I had a few bites of cheesecake and chocolate cake. At least I didn't have an entire piece? I can say I am still caffeine free! Woo-Hoo!
This morning I was careful and ate an omelet. Then we stopped at Wall Drug, where they have fresh baked donuts. Ok, I split one with my daughter. Let me tell you, two hours later, I felt as though I could crawl into bed. It took me another hour or so to get my energy level back. My husband and I have both agreed that cutting out all sugar is causing us to gain weight. But, we definitely plan on watching our sugar intake in the future. I feel better while he is apparently still going through withdrawals as he feels hungry, tired, and sick most of the time without sugar laden carbs.
Don't worry, my husband made me feel plenty guilty about not only falling off the wagon, but being drug behind for a while. Tomorrow is the end of the first week - only 14 days to go!
