But given the circumstances, and what I chose to ate, I'm still pretty darn proud of myself.
First I found myself at the grocery store, 20 minutes from home, with a soon-hungry baby, STARVING to death. I forgot to eat before I left. The only thing Giant had to offer was Lara Bars, and sadly, I'm still tired of those and won't want one again for some time. So... I got an Almond & Coconut KIND bar at my favorite coffee shop (with a plain latte, nothin' added). It has honey and glucose. 11g of sugars -- which equals almost 3 teaspoons. Yikes!!!
Later, I found myself beginning a 40 mile drive home to a hot dinner waiting... but was starting to shake, so I had to get SOMETHING. I stopped at Arby's, used the bathroom and got some fries. Fries-- which fail by being Processed, Potato and possibly having added sugar too!
In my defense, I did NOT get a soda. Nor did I go to Mickey-D's -- I know as fact that they add sugar to their fries. And that fast sugar kept me alert enough to get home to my awesome dinner awaiting! Kasha!!!
- In addition to sugar, yesterday I ate:
- Kasha with Mandarin Oranges (About.com) without the raisins, plus a small serving of grilled chicken and some romaine lettuce. Filling!
- Coffee
- Spiced coffee =)
- Oatmeal with a banana and a little half-n-half
- Leftover fried rice
- An orange
- A couple small handfuls of unsalted mixed nuts
SO yay. I cheated, but I'm not worried about it, and I'm not going to start eating sugar because I think I "failed". Heck no! Onward to health and increased happiness!
