I don't think I've mentioned that I am back on the wagon this week. The two weeks before I had been letting sugar sneak back into my eating. Last weekend, in Austin, I ate especially unhealthfully; I wasn't taking time to eat often enough, so I was eating sugar to keep my blood sugar decent.
So this week I've been back off it. And of course, I'm struggling with getting enough calories. The problem the two weeks before was that I wasn't eating enough, because I didn't feel like cooking. So I was craving sugar, and giving in out of laziness. I'm trying to be attentive to my hunger, but it's very hard- I get distracted. I know in my head that I need to eat more, I just need to get in the habit of doing so.
When I get crazy cravings, I have a warm tortilla with honey and butter. Yum!
24 hours without the sugar, and my knee pain started to recede. They still hurt, but not nearly as much. Hmmmmmm.
Being sugar-free might be challenging for the rest of my life. But it's so much better for me than the alternative.
