I was doing very well staying away from the sugar from my last post until Halloween! Urg, Halloween caused a binge. Could have made it through too as I didn't buy any candy for myself as in previous years but at the end of the night my superintendent gave me to left over baggies of candy, I should have said no. I don't know why I didn't say no. So the binge began as apparently I have no will power when it comes to this stuff.
Now it's time to leave it in the past and start new. It's November so the pumpkin spice muffins should be out of the stores any day now, I hope. My friend Natalie told me about "Fresh" a place I can buy sugar free and gluten free goodies. Which I will be trying for sure. So I start fresh Nov 2nd as the rest is history.
Yesterday Nov 1st.
1 medium coffee
1 pumpkin spice muffin
3 apples
1 pear
3 oz white turkey meat
half a potato
slice of cranberry loaf
Mom's home made chicken noodle soup
Then an apple blossom and ice cream. Apparently I can't hang out with people eatting sugar eighter. Funny thing is my Mom cooked it special for me. Actually I know why she did and it was very sweet of her.
Holloween
Too embaressing to talk about. I hang my head in shame.

Apples, Apples, Apples
Once again I have eaten a plethora of apples, so many I can't even keep track of. Other then that I over indulged, two muffins one in the morning and one at night on my way out when I didn't have time to catch dinner first.
Other then the apples and muffins,
1 medium coffee with half a cream
chicken stir fry-spinach, bok choy, green peppers, yellow peppers, flax seed oil chicken and teriyaki sauce.
Turkey schnitzel
Baked beat
My friend Sherilyn of mine sent me a recipe for muffins I could eat any time I want. Unfortunately I haven't had time to bake anything. Does anyone know where I can buy healthy muffins, more specifically sugar free muffins.

Catching Up!
Well I would say I am doing pretty good. The last time I wrote was Monday evening so here goes the next few days.
Tuesday
1 medium coffee
cheese tea bisquit
roasted veggies Carrots/sweet potato
apple
orange
3 table spoons hemp seeds
slice of lasanga
two slices whole wheat bread with honey.
One hot cocao
*Note no muffin*
Wednesday
1 medium coffee half cream
Four slices of whole wheat bread with honey-I seem to have a new addiction.
Turkey schitzel
Baked Beat
four apples
Veggie Quiche
Thursday
2 Apples
I broke and had the pumpkin spice muffin
Roasted veggies-sweet potato, squash, broccoli sprinkled with extra virgin olive oil, garlic and cinnamon.
For the rest of the day I wasn't really hungry, probably because stuff is bothering me and since I'm not drowning that in sugar I guess I really don't eat when stressed. I was going to have a chicken breast but just didn't feel for it.
I think I will at least force down some spinach a little later.

Getting Better Minus Those Darn Muffins.
Well since I am back at it, I might as well go back to reporting what I consume. I had a minor cheat today, you know those pumpkin spice muffins at Timmies? They have a strong hold on me.
1 Large Coffee with half cream (today was a large coffee kind of day)
Cheese tea bisquit with butter.
Half a Bananna
Veggie Burger on whole wheat bun and Onion rings...I know, I know but there is no sugar.
Turkey Schinitzel-turkey breaded in egg, bread crumbs with club house chicken seasoning. Cook in safflower oil.
1 Baked beat
Carrots and sweet potato with extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder and club house chicken seasoning roasted.
As I mentioned before I have noticed a difference in my weight, I got into my skinny jeans, no fighting. <3 I notice it in my face, butt, legs and tummy. Slowly noticing it in my arms.
Tomorrow I vow no muffin, I pack a solid and healthy lunch and have healthy breakfast options at the office.

I'm Back
Well you have probably noticed I haven't been here for awhile. I fell off the wagon, in fact after Thanks Giving I wasn't even sure there was a wagon anymore.
My down fall started at my Thanks Giving dinner, which I was well aware I would be cheating at. It was a special occasion so I figured I could treat myself with a slice of pumpkin pie and whip cream. The problem is I didn't stop there, I ate my mothers turnip knowing there was sugar in it. I also had a slice of apple crumble with ice cream.
Had it of ended there I would have been okay but it didn't. The next day I went to wonderland with a friend from work, I had a seasons pass so I could go without spending any money. However I got a funnel cake. :( I also had a pop with my pizza slice, sadly it was cheaper then getting the three dollar bottle of water.
Those two days were the worst of it however I have cheated since then, a free trip to the movies and the coupon included a combo, so I had pop. That was two weeks ago and I remained on track after that. I then cheated again on October 18th, when I went for the High Tea at the Kind Edward and ate the tiny little pastries that were served.
Since that day I have had a muffin each morning with my coffee which is really bad, just as bad as having a doughnut. I hear by vow to stop that and get back on the wagon. Despite these full blown cheats I have been eating very healthy in between cheats.
I have lost weight, I can tell, I can see it. My clothes are loser, I can see it in the mirror and even cellulite had dissipated. This week I also started jogging on top of my regular exercise.
Tomorrow is Monday, and I am starting over again removing refined sugar from my diet. At this point I would like to thank my friends who sent support and advice from across the country. Sherilyn, Rachel and Natalie. Thanks for all your tips, suggestions recipes and support, it is greatly appreciated.
Having worked with addicts I am well aware that slips are a part of recovery, in fact one cannot likely recover without. I just have to remain determined and see my goal, a sugar free Laura.

Today was a Much Better Day
Today is day twelve so officially the detox is over but I am determined to remain sugar free. I went grocery shopping today so finally have some food to eat and so have been better prepared to live sugar free.
1 Medium coffee half cream
1 Cheese scone
1 Sandwich (Sugar free rye bread, one slice cut in half, mustard, cucumber, tomato, Swiss cheese and alpha sprouts)
2 apples
Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry (white skinless chicken breast, teriyaki sauce, onion, red and green pepper, bok choy and spinach)
Grapes
Smoothie, ascai, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, plain yogurt, flax seed oil, fibre, green drink mix
Today I learned that mustard doesn't have sugar, thank goodness as I have always been a sauce girl and couldn't have dry bread for my sandwich. I was also able to find a sugar free teriyaki sauce.
Bought the ingredients to make the Pumpkin Pudding I posted in an earlier blog, can't wait to try it. Should be interesting.

I'm Catching up on the Last Few Days.
I fell off for a couple days but I'm back. Haven't fallen off the sugar free lifestyle though, just the writing of the blog. In the days I have not been writing I have been busy but have made sure to keep up with the removal of sugar. I have reintroduced dairy, and wheat but have not noticed any adverse effects.
On Sunday October 3rd, I have to admit to a full blown cheat. I went with friends to The Knit Cafe for high tea. I couldn't have eaten there without cheating. One thing I have noticed is that the world around me is not made for the sugar free diet.
At the tea I had:
Leek Quiche
Cheese and apple scone
Pumpkin tart
Brownie
Peppermint tea
Unfortunately I do not remember what I ate the rest of the day but I do know the rest of my day was healthier and sugar free.
Monday:
1 Egg
Cheese scone
Medium coffee with half cream
Six Bean and Quinua Salad with red, green peppers, broccoli, lemon, olive oil and dill weed
Tofu Teriyaki stir fry with red and green peppers, onions, and bok choy
Smoothie, ascai berry, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, plain yogurt, flax seed oil, fibre, green drink mix.
Tuesday
2 Eggs
Medium coffee half cream
Tofu stir fry (left over from Monday)
Smoothie (same mix as Monday)
Penne pasta with tomato sauce
Pumpkin spice latte (may contain sugar, not sure)
