The campaign to eradicate sugar from my life is ongoing. I've pretty much emptied the house of any items considered "candy" and am attempting to wean myself for sugar-free items, like sugar free jello. I've been having really horrid gas pains (sorry to be gross) and I think, from other reading I'm doing, that it is due to the sugar alcohols I'm eating in sugar-free foods.
I'm trying to eat about 1200 calories a day. My typical day looks like this:
Breakfast -24 oz water
-large coffee with splash 2% milk
-1/2 peach with 6oz fat free/sugar free vanilla yogurt and 1/4 cup
Kashi Go Lean Crunch
Lunch -24 oz water
-1 piece Trader Joe's flat bread, 1/4 cup carrots and 2 tablespoons hummus
-2 cups salad with homemade vinaigrette
-1 sugar free jello
Snack -large coffee with splash 2% milk
-1 sugar free pudding
Dinner -16oz water
-large salad (3 cups) with homemade vinaigrette
-main dish (meatless spaghetti, turkey chili, eggs, chicken, etc)
-1 piece bread, corn bread, muffin (usually homemade)
If I could stop there, I think things would be fine. However I don't. After I put Kidlette to bed I start to graze. A handful of chips. A cookie. A piece of toast. A glass of milk. This is where it seems to be falling apart for me.
One of the things I did last year when I was trying not to eat was work out at night (in a addition to my noon gym trip.) 30 minutes on the treadmill after Kidlette goes down, instead of sitting on the couch, eating chips, playing video games or watching TV. I think I will re-instate this practice. I need to kick start the weight loss some way!
