So for starters, day one wasnt so bad. The only thing I think I goofed up, was when instead of doing my research before heading out on the road all evening, to figure out what I could eat on the go, I just opted to not eat. Probably not my most intelligent moment...but I survived, and managed to stay away from refined sugar/flour for 24 hours! My head has been pounding off and on now for 2 days, and I am craving a Coke like no body's business...but I have kept it under control.
Day two has been pretty great so far. This time, when I knew I was going out to lunch, I did my homework, and instead of not eating, I just ordered chicken fajita nachos, hold the chips :) And to my delight, it was actually PERFECT! I didnt feel like I was missing out at all! (Other than missing out on a Coke, that is)
Back at the office, while everyone else was enjoying the chocolates courtesy of a patient (this may prove to be tough to refrain from) I was going crazy inside wanting to partake...So I rummaged the cupboards, and found some Premium Dark Chocolate (85% Cocoa) and saw that it only has 4g of sugar for a whole bar! So, I tasted a bite of it (thinking if the whole bar is only 4g then a bite or two should be okay for today--the Diet said I could do it, so dont judge me for eating it on day 2) And it was HORRIBLE!!! It tasted like DIRT! But then, a co-worker said that dark chocolate is "meant to be eaten slowly" so I tried that...not much better...and then I had the bright idea to try adding a sprinkle of sea salt to it and Wala! It was great! Not what I can foresee myself ever "craving", but its a great solution to my need for chocolate at the moment.
